The Five Tones 302 Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Percussion pitched and unpitched, bass guitar, sequencer, sampler, turntables... yes, I consider them all instruments, but it was "Over The Moon" from E.T., among other things which made me want to master the piano as kid, which is my main instrument.And I wish Universal would have reissued the concert arrangements (Over the Moon, E.T. and Me, Flying) from the original E.T. album in '82 on the 20th anniversary edition!

Ren 75 Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Well, since I'm a music teacher I have had classes so I am proficient at all major instruments. (They wouldn't want an incompetent music teacher). But my major instrument is piano (played with lessons for 17 years).I have small hands though so I envy anyone with more than an octave reach.

Beowulf 4 Posted August 30, 2002 Author Share Posted August 30, 2002 Wow! A lot of drummers I see...that obviously makes this board very --> It is good to see the variety of instruments represented on these boards however. Maybe that's another reason why we all usually have unique opinions on things. Beowulf - Glad that no one has said anything remotely akin to "skin flute" or any other such "instruments"... I was half expecting it from Figo or maybe even Stef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 2 Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 What, you think I play skin flute, is that what you're saying? Sorry, Beowulf, I already used that joke in another thread. Not that I'm above repeating myself. Morn, my comment about Rachmaninoff had to do with his enormous reach and nothing at all to do with his personal estimation of his own pianistic abilites. Nevermind the fact that, by all accounts, Rachmaninoff was one of the greatest pianists who ever lived -- at the very least, one of the greatest of modern times. Rach was notoriously down on himself both as a pianist and composer. (And the term is "pianist," take note.) The failure of his 1st Symphony sent him spiraling into a profound depression -- a very short trip for the gloomy Russian -- from which he emerged only after extensive therapy and hypnosis treatments. The outcome was a very fruitful period that brought forth the Piano Concerto No. 2 and the 2nd Symphony, two of his most popular works.Why is it that every one of your one-line boners requires at least a paragraph in response?Figo, wishing he could have his very large hands wrapped around Morn's skull, Rutger Hauer-style.

Omen II 1,235 Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Violin (fairly proficient) and tenor banjo (rather crap, really). Don't expect any Deliverance-style pickin' from me, I leave that to albino redneck children.These instruments are not as different as they may sound; the tenor banjo has the same range as a viola but the music is usually written in the treble clef, transposed up an octave.Squeal like a pig, boy!
