I can play the clarinet pretty well, but not much over a high C. I also can play piano somewhat, but only the simple one hand stuff because I can't get my hands to do two different things. Funny, seeing as I can do it in origami.

No, I am totally useless.
It wasn´t part of my education.
That was a pitty.

Anyway, regards from the rainy Manchester, UK.

I play the violin, the recorder, the tin-whistle (penny-whistle) and the piano (self-taught).

I prefer the recorder.

Hi! It's been a long while since I've been active on here. I deleted my Dropbox years ago, so some things, like my Dragonfly Varileg guide, are lost to time. I may still have other things, though! Email me if you have any questions.

I play piano for six years in a musical school and I can say that I'm pretty good at it. :)

Well... Jonnycakes has a point, since some of your posts are really difficult to read and understand (especially for non-native speakers) due to spelling/ grammar mistakes/ abbreviations... :roll:
You might want to check your spelling and proper English (for example it's "you" and not "u") before posting to make things easier for everyone.
Hint: Firefox has an integrated spell checker :wink:

Also, what YouTube Symphony thing are you talking about, have not heard about that. Any more information you can give for it (link for example) ?

And on topic: after many years I finally got myself an E-Piano (Roland FP-4) again and now have the chance to play and practice more often, it's nice :-)
So long and keep folding ^_^

Sorry oriman-I have a habit of messing with people, and sometimes I go a little bit overboard. It is nothing personal against you. Also, I am studying music at college, and it gets to me when someone calls himself a god on any instrument-it takes years of dedicated practice to become good on any instrument and saying something like that seems to belittle it, if it really is true. It is also true that the better you get at an instrument, the more you realize you can't do, which tends to discourage such arrogant remarks. So just make sure that if you say you are a god that you can back it up :wink:

And the youtube symphony looks awesome! That is a really good idea to bring together musicians (albeit few of them) from around the world. I might submit a video just for fun, but I doubt I will make it.

No problem at all-no harm done. It is also very easy to misinterpret each other online with only written words to read-I forgot that, too.
