this was in a crossword and i couldnt figure it out(its probably obvious), the cousin of a guitar-3 letters

OMG, just out of curiousity I thought I'd google "cousin of a guitar." Want to know what I got? (OK, you probably don't, but that's not going to stop me.) The very first link was about ... Cousin Couples! 😲😛 Here I had been going through life happily oblivious to a whole subculture ...

Still haven't found out the crossword answer yet though.

I am a music teacher and a professional horn player. Since college I have played in concert on trumpet, tuba, trombone, euphonium, clarinet, percussion (including drumset and timpani), guitar, and bass guitar (although not all at once). I took classes to learn the rest of the woodwind family well enough to teach. I also studied the string family, although I wouldn't try to play these in public. I did somehow manage to pass my piano proficiency test in college but I rarely play now. I know how to play mandolin, banjo, accordion, and ukulele, but really need to practice. I also studied voice and sing quite regularly. I'm not too shabby at whistling in the dark.

Jeeez thats nutin.... I can tie my shoes.... 😕

On a more serious note.... thats an impressive list, a lot of my friends are professional musicians(layabouts with talent). I personally have the musical talent of a particularly talentless brick.... Although I do know a bit about music and such.....

you played mandolin? cool! 🙂
what kind of music did you play? I play mandola (tuned , but sometimes I try the mandolin, too.

Pretty much whatever I felt like. I started playing because I found out that the strings were the same as those from a violin, only each string had a duplicate. I could play a little bluegrass. That was probably my favorite type of music for the mandolin.

What music do you like to play on the mandola?

double chords and frets! 🙂
I play traditional portuguese songs, and whatever violin scores I can get my hands on. At present, I'm fighting with Monti's Czardas, "Brasileirinho", and "Carrossel 8" by Júlio Pereira: YouTube

i'm happy to play them at half the tempo, now 😀

and Faro Luso (someday... too complex...) 🙂

the technique is a little more complicated because the mandola is bigger than the mandolin, but i'm getting it.

Do you have any favorites?

I'm a horn player, playing in symphony orchestras for more than 40 years.

Is not a thing to laugh to scorn."

I have been playing the violin for about 20 years. I have played for a number of different orchestras...never quite made concert master though.

I've played for... six days...

I play everything I played as a child, piano and accordian, but since then added guitar, mandolin, banjo, lap dulcimer, concertina, fiddle.
You can hear some of my compositions at myspace.com/donjenningsguitar.

I played viola for about ten years from third grade on. I was pretty good. I don't play much these days, though I still like to get it out every now and again.
