MUSICIAN? What Do You Play?
 
I thought of this moments ago when I was starting another thread about music; I think we would be surprised to know who, among the forum, plays an instrument / instruments?



Don't have to be 'excellent' or 'professional'.

Don't need to be a long post.



Just post what instruments you have played either presently or in the past. This should be interesting!

It looks like the bird in your signature line is trying to play a triangle right now. http://apostolicfriendsforum.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Steadfast 01-16-2008 10:52 AM

Guitar
Bass
Alto Sax
Tenor Sax
Drums
Clarinet
Flute
Mandolin

I have a solid silver old antique 'C Melody' saxaphone that is fun to play with, too.

Ironically, while I know the chords on keyboards I cannot - for the life of me - play a keyboard / organ! While music seems to come very naturally to me the whole keyboard / organ thing is like a mental block to me.

Also, NOTHING adds to a great worship service like a great trumpet / coronet section... but, alas, I can't play anything that has that kind of mouthpiece thingy. Most anything with a reed I'll figure out... but those things you have to phfffffffffffffphttt through is nigh unto impossible for me!

(Hey, at least I tried to spell it like it sounds!)

:happydance

I have an antique Perfektone C Melody Tenor sax. I don't know about it being solid silver... but it is at least silver plated with gold wash in the bell. I also have a antique Conn Silver plated Soprano sax with gold wash in the bell (I am almost positive it is the Chu Berry soprano) and a King Super 20 Alto. I am wanting to find a silver & gold alto so I will have a matching set.

LOL, I stated in another thread, Christian Life Center in Stockton, CA now has tambourine ministry. They have around 10-20 really nice tambourines on the altar and an usher will bring you one if it is requested. The 2 ladies next aisle over from me wailed away during the song service...they couldn't keep time, (My eldest sis was a pro back from the Apostolic Assembly days) but I am sure their Lord loved it. Lord knows I didn't, he he!

I think O'N should be let loose with one, once in a while. He was 'playing' around on one a while back and it sounded great.

It might be cool on a song....

And the tambourine players all need to be on the platform with the other musicians.... by the time the sound get's to the tambourine players in the audiance, and back to the platform, they are out of time because of the sound delay... If you don't play the tambourine on the platform in your church, ask if you can and your other musicians won't believe the difference it makes....

Agreed. And there is nothing worse than an out of time tambourine!

Most of the time, but not all the time, it's the sound travel factor that does it... The tamborine players need to relize that they too are playing a instrument and need to be with the other musicians...
