TromboneChat

Wanna see what other instruments people play. I also play alto sax, used to play piano and guitar.

I play Eb horn (concert mellophone) for fun. I play tuba/sousaphone once in a blue moon, and I play euphonium every week in a community band. I can play piano, but nowhere near proficiently.

Not anymore.

In high school, I took up bari sax (and harmonica, alto recorder, & jaw harp. Plus piano lessons as a child).
In college, I realized I still wasn't good enough at trombone, and I refocused all my practice time towards that. My philosophy hasn't changed much since then.

It's a lot more useful to be known as a pretty good trombone player than an almost-competent bari sax player. Less frustrating to my own ears, too.

Euphonium and all of the saxes. Though I probably won't be playing too much sax after I go off to college.

Trombone, tuba, and recorder.  I mainly play tenor recorder since I tend to overblow my sopranino, soprano, and alto.

I took a couple of lessons on viola, but had to stop when my teacher kicked me out for missing a lesson due to a business trip (I notified her in advance and offered to pay for the lesson).

I think the OP thinks Baritone and Euphonium are the same, since he listed Baritone and not Euphonium, we'll have to edumacate him!!

Hahahahaha. No I know the difference I just forgot to put it up on the poll. But thx for pointing it out.

Have you considered how many of us also sing?

My bad. Didn't come across my mind when I was thinking instruments but it is indeed a beautiful form of music.

Not when I do it!!

So if some doofus asks if I'm "a singer or a musician", I smile and say, "Yes!"

Trumpet, Euphonium, Tuba, and a little piano

I also forgot about voice as my "other." I'm a baritone in my school choir and might pursue choral singing professionally someday as a side job to my already side job trombone playing.

I can't be the only one here that has ventured to bassoon.  They are such interesting instruments.  If I could ever afford to rent or even find someone willing to rent a contrabassoon I would give it a whirl.  That would be cool.

Bb Bariton (english Brass Band style), Bb Euphonium and Eb tuba besides various tenor and bass trombones. Somebody offers me a contrabass trombone ?? I would play that too ...

To me actually the trombone is a "side" instrument
