I love bagpipes, Sidawethiel! I don't think many ppl play them here in America. lol. Are they hard to play?


I know quite a few people in Bagpipe Bands around the United States, so I always find it suprising when people think I play an unusual instrument. I do have to admit, you have to have lots of upper body strength to play the bagpipes...blowing and squeezing,blowing and squeezing....crazyness.. :teehee: I have to admit it's fun though!

Violin is the best. I teach violin. I've been playing since I was 4, and I love it to pieces.

Unusual, hmm, I play... the radio? That count?

:P

I also play pan flute a bit, and that's a tad unusual.

I also consider *truly* playing electric guitar a bit odd, but most don't.

It's this Chinese instrument that's really similar to a violin/fiddle.. but it has only two strings. :)

Uh... Does playing two recorders (At the same time) with my nose count? It was the only instrument I every tried to play, and much more fun to play strangely. :P

Eh, it's not that hard. Doesn't sound too great, but it's possible. :)

I play penny whistle, harmonica, Chair, balloon, and plate that are unusual instruments. In fact, we have a whole chair orchestra.

My sister is *supposed* to be teaching me to play the chanter anyway, the learning step to the bagpipes.

I'm not very fun, I only play piano, but I do love it! :teehee:

I used to play the oboe though :P That's pretty unique I guess...

I'd LOVE to play violin, but for some reason my mom is refusing to let me :disgust:
