Anyone here play an instrument?

What is your all time favorite instrument?


I play the Alto Saxophone, currently looking to buy a jazz style mouthpiece.

I have a weakness for the Piano, the violin is a close second however.

Compared to the guitar I found the saxophone to be a piece of cake.

I ended up giving my Gibson SG and Marchall Amps to my 14 year old nephew.  I stopped playing years ago, no point in all that expensive equipment going to waste.

I actually got really, really good on bass...was a dead ringer for Iron Maiden's Steve Harris' playing style.  Then I promptly joined the Navy and brought it all to an end.

RPM, what would be the world's largest nuclear marching band?
