What Instrument Do You Wish You Could Play?


Recommended Posts

An Organ! A cathedral one! Wish I could buy myself a cathedral. I used to think that by taking up drums and percussion I could be the loudest musician around... I was wrong XD

Buy some powerful speakers, and you can be the loudest musician simply with your computer.

:( If I could play my choice of instrument incredibly well...

I would either choose baritone or french horn. They are what brings a concert band its awesome power. Due to my clef lip, I'm doomed to play clarinet (my second choice)

I used to think having a huge skill-set of various instruments would be cool, but you know what?

Piano is enough.

If I ever am able to be given a time machine, I'd take up the double bass though!!!

*laughs* Is this sarcasm?

Yes, I think so. At least I hope so. In the "old days" the 'cello was held between the calves and didn't have an endpin. The endpin wasn't introduced until the 1830s, like most modern instrumental innovations.

I think I said earlier that I'd want to play oboe or french horn, but I think I'd also like to add viol (viola da gamba) and baroque flute to that. I'm toying with buying a viol at present.

John, if you play piano (and I'm pretty sure you do), it's a very small stretch to harpsichord. I cut my teeth at the piano (though I don't play well anymore), and when I got my harpsichord, a whole world of new playing possibilities opened up, requiring very little adjustment.

i know several pianists that are totally unable to play in organ, yeah the keys looks similar but it is much more different of what it looks, beginnig wth how to turn it on hahahaha

Changing the question to What instrument you wish you could own ?

Well I'd like to have a marimba or a vibraphone, would be such fun

I think contrabassoon is cooler, not just in the super low zone, but in its entire range has a superb personality, once I wrote a solo for contra and was really cool, I will write more.

this is a recording of my work where I wrote the contrabassoon solo, I only could make recordings of some movements because that work is very large and I didn't have libraries to render the parts when the full army plays, but I did record this movement, I amplified a lot this mp3 because this mov is actually very soft.

The contrabassoon plays at 1:19 - 2:27

I think it worked perfectly for what I wanted to express. I will use it more, too bad my VSL has only the last octave of the contra, the rest is bassoon, in the same patch, I'll try to re-use that GPO1 I used that time.
