Instruments

I am just curious as to what instruments you people here play *all or favourite*
Because usually musicians are connected to their type of instrument they play and the instruments sort of tell what kind of person they are.
That being said (rather horribly, I must say), I myself am an Organist *no stupid jokes* and Bassist, but my favourite has to be the Organ.

Mechanically they're related, but in style far apart.
the organ has buttons, knobs, tabs, multiple keyboards (2 or more, I play regularly on a 3 manual), a pedalboard (big keyboard for feet), and 100s to 1000s of pipes, and a damn wind compressor XDD
*sticks nose even further in-air, until neck problems take over* xDD
but honestly the accordian kicks major ass

You could put a dent in the facade, but those pipes are fake, and you'd end up damaging your accordian more. :P
I don't doubt, but I doubt you could even throw that high anyways o_O, as the organ is mounted at the top of the church, so just drop it, and chillax. so others may post without having to sift through this friendly/rivalry debate

Guitar, keyboard, uh... drum machine?
I'd like to learn bowed bass, maybe violin. Besides what I just mentioned, I love the bassoon, oboe, and clarinet.

I play the flute. It's boring to play, but pretty sounding.

I'd just much rather not have to do school concerts and march in parades and stuff. Otherwise, I do like it.

I used to play the bassoon, then I graduated from high school. Since a good bassoon runs in the range of US $5,000, my parents were not open to purchasing one for a not-so-good bassoonist.

I used to play the guitar, but grew frustrated just as I was getting good. The day I told my mother I was quitting lessons, I explained that the pen was my instrument. Cliched, but true; I really did want to pursue writing over music.
