I am a maker of music rather than a musician ...
Before anyone gets any ideas about my playing only something like a "chicago typewriter" ...
Lemme see ...
Piano
Organ
Guitar
Clarinet
Tenor Saxophone
Trumpet
Recorder (soprano and tenor)
Xylophone (and other melodic percussion, including vibraphone and marimba)
Asst Hand drums (frame drums and bodhran)
Native American Flute
Bamboo flute
I have played a digeridoo several times, but don't yet own one.
Oh, and I sing too.
I don't have access to a lot of the above instruments, so "formerly played" is more correct. My clarinet is badly in need of repadding, but I can get it to make noise. I have my guitars (one folk one classical) in a closet, lovingly stored away, probably warping as we speak.
I do find a lot of joy in musical expression, however, given my work schedule, I don't think my neighbors have the same understanding of the need to bust out in some drumming at 3am as I do ...
