The Composer Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I wished I played the oboe! It sounds so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardener Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Lee Graham Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Oboe and/or Horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortissimo Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 :( 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phython Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) 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!!! Edited August 13, 2016 by phython Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjplumblossom Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 i wish to play the oboe!!=) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Lee Graham Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 *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.

J. Lee Graham Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 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.

SYS65 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrsbit Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 He probably means that there isn't an organ or harpsichord for him to play on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYS65 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 a yep, 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I probably posted in this thread five years ago... my answer stands. Bassoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYS65 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 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.

J. Lee Graham Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 A viol, and a period-correct clavichord. And a French double-harpsichord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeckelphoneNYC Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Contrabassoon solo and musical saw. WOW that would be cool. They're cousins, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYS65 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 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 http://www.box.net/shared/7e9k4espbd 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.

StuMeEveryone Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I've always wanted to learn the accordion, ever since I heard the soundtrack to Amelie and Tom Waits & The Tiger Lillies macabre theatrical use of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
