What Instrument Do You Wish You Could Play?

Why does everyone want to play strings :P

Clarinet, cool! I wish I could play clarinet. I can play oboe, but my clarinet sounds like a dying cow ><

I can 'sort of' play the clarinet.

I would wish to play the oboe! It has such a beautiful sound. :)

I wish I could get my oboe chops back in shape :forlorn:

Graham, Clarinet usually sounds good, well, as a normal clarinet, even the cheap ones, wash the reed with toothbrush and soap, if it's in a very bad state, get a new one, not too thin, Rico No.2 1/2 don't put a lot of pressure on the embouchure, is not a saxophone, check if all keys closes and opens correctly, that should be enough to make any clarinet sound .... as a clarinet :D (if problem remains, throw it away)

I wish I could play English Horn or Oboe, I really enjoy hearing the sound of those instruments

a lot of people want to play oboe.

just go to the duck pond. you'll learn a lot.

(I don't believe that actually but it's a little funny :P)

SYS: I think we have my great grand-father's clarinet in the back somewhere

I would love to learn piano, at least to a much greater degree than being able to play chord progressions and the beginning of the Moonlight sonata, which almost anyone who's familiar with the piano can play.

The carillon, I've wanted to play it since I was a kid... or at least a teenager... ;)

Close enough :P

I'd love to be able to play classical guitar :) it just looks very difficult!

Cello... A few years ago I had to choose between spending all my money on a cello or spending it all on samples... I chose samples and it was the right decision, but I still want a cello. I'd also love to learn clarinet or bassoon.

A more appropriate rebuttal to this question should read: "What instrument do you wish you could play WELL?" Ha. I wish I could play jazz piano well (I play, but not well by answer stretch of the imagination). Likewise with some good lead guitar. Hotness.

The ukelele or however you spell it.

Viola, one of my favourite instruments.

I'd love to play the Harp... it looks really hard to learn, but also looks so fun. Learning to play the Violin would be awesome as well.. all be it painful to learn for the first couple of years or so.

I wish I could play harp too...but I'd rather listen than learn it. :)

I got to see a harp demonstration yesterday; it looks really hard and complicated.

I wonder..... in Piano one can/could play without seeing the keys but, in harp ? without seeing the colors ? :pinch: better to always carry this:

I wish I could play ...

Heckelphone

Wagner Tubas (all varieties)

Theorbo

Ondes Martenot

Theremin

Synthesizer

YOU WISH YOU COULD PLAY HECKELPHONE???? :D ME TOO WHAT A COINCI...oh wait you all probably already knew that.

I've wanted to play heckelphine since about 2007

...I've wanted to play Heckelphone since I was 4 (2003)

I had wanted to play violin since I was two, I started but then moved to viola last year.

I play viola :D

Have you played Hindemith's Trauermusik? I think it's extremely boring.
