What musical instruments do everyone play?

[His Divine Shadow]

I've played recorder, drums, and attempted, badly, to play guitar. Currently, I play nothing.

I have a better idea, there's an instrument we all know how to play. The instrument is called a Nessonite. The problem is, you need about 5 people to play it well, though 1 skilled player will suffice.

There are 3 different pitches on Nessonite and to play them, each person may position themself at the play area namely, the feet, one person per armpit, and one person per rib side.

Each pitch has 2 octave levels. Level 1 will be when one person of that pitch tickles the play area. Level 2 will be when 2 person tickles. Eg. Level 1 'a' note will be when armpit player 1 tickles. Level 2 is when both armpit players tickles.

So there are a total of 3 pitches x 2 octave levels each. If each player coordinates well to the score, the instrument comes alive! Sounds great when accompanied by percussion too. 😀

Forgot to add that just like a trumpet needs to be tipped over and emptied of saliva every now and then, a nessonite also needs to be "relieved" occasionally. It's easy to tell when a nessonite needs relieve, it's when the notes sound more like panting or when the instrument appears to be producing notes but no notes can be heard.

I'm a professional Nessonite player...I'm on my way to Carnegie Hall...on a Juliard Scholarship or something...😉

Wow, I wish to learn how to play a Nessonite! Teach me please!

 

[His Divine Shadow]

My, that little insult of Ness' didn't last long. 😛

OMG...now that I notice...your sig is Kenshin's super cool sensei!!!! Man I love that guy....he's like the ultimate hunk of anime guys or something.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

Yup yup yup! 'Tis indeed good old Hiko. Even though he appears so little in the actual series (Excluding the sort of separate Samurai X OVA thingy), he is my favorite character of it. So cool, he is.....

 

[Iluv2Btickled]

I play..
violin
VIOLA
cello
bass
trombone
baritone
recorder
snare drum
bassoon
piano

I also write bond's music. I write sheet music so the fans who wish to play w/ the recording, can. I am still working on my own original piece though.

I think that's it..... 😀

I vote we make playing the Nessonite a national pastime (Or passtime, however the heck it is spelled.).

[Camel26]

Oh and Ness--there WILL be Nessonite music...it is BEAUTIFUL!!! 😛 Wanker...

 

[SyDemon1]

WOW so many drummers! Right now I really need some drum tunning tips. Can someone recommend a method of tunning the drums? I'm having major problems with the bass drum, it refuses to produce the punchy bass sound I want.

 

[AcornaMordor]

Good Lord, Camel, speak English, I'm from Alabama, after all!

I get my Ocarinas at the ren faires, mostly, the big week-long one in TN in May. And I meant I counted 2 people that claimed alto but I might've missed'm, it was off the top of my head. I wasn't going to get halfway through a post then go back, recount, and type the whole thing over again.
