    Vocal Chords: Expert

    Ocarina: Pretty good.

    Harmonica: Decent.

    Piano: Amateur.

    Guitar: I can pluck strings and make it go “twang!”

    Honorable mention to the mouth harp; I am not sure how you can be good or bad at it.

    I started learning violin almost 3 years ago. I take lessons. I still suck a lot but I keep going because I do enjoy learning, even if it’s often frustrating. I have absolutely no musical background and was actively encouraged not to pursue an instrument when I was young because of the expense, so I guess it’s also a way to reclaim my childhood.

    At 9 I played violin.

    I played guitar for 20 years (started at 10) in a somewhat successful few metal/hardcore/screamo bands.

    I sang with some of the bands. I picked up bass and piano along the way. Can kinda play drums. Basic beats and understand most of the connections.

    If I was to do it all again I would play bass. Probably the most intuitive for me. But it’s hard to say that the others didn’t lead to bass just seeming natural. But it was fun.

        That was actually my last project. I did an industrial kind of thing where it was all me. But it didn’t go anywhere and I had done it for 20 years. I had enough time to walk away. Plus then my son was born and jumping from city to city just wouldn’t be responsible.

    Modular synths for me. I built a “Synthcase” out of an old antique suitcase in 2025. Now I’m learning to tease signal from noise.

    Cornet and Trumpet. I can play fairly advanced stuff but I don’t have the embouchure and can only keep it up for a few minutes.

    Guitar: strumming and some finger picking. Took this up again during covid as I wanted to sing and play, which I can do now.

    Piano: also from COVID. Slowly working through Alfreds but it’s fun so I don’t mind.

    I play the ukulele. I am a rising beginner, but it’s shocking how much is available to me even at that level.

    I just started teaching myself how to play the lyre! It’s really fun. I’m getting the hang of it pretty quickly. 10/10 recommend the lyre

    Viola, with proficiency somewhere between beginner and just plain bad. But it’s still fun (for a given value of"fun").

    Piano, flute and drums :D i can still pick any of them up and play okay but I can’t read music anymore which is a real shame. I can hear a song and figure it out on piano if given time.

    Piano. Self taught since Covid. According to proper musically trained people I’m at about grade 6. Whatever that means.
