Musicians

Cello - about 30 years
Piano - depends on what you count

I have a really hard time to get myself to continue to practise regularly, so I am getting worse rather than better. 🙁 It helps to have some chamber music projects and gigs, but I practise faaaaaaar too little.

Percussion - since I remember (since 15 professionally; jazz,world music, orchestral/chamber, soloist )

Piano- hm , do I really play the piano ???

string instruments- ability to play flat strings

I meant playing empty strings (no position). Mayby, I used the bad english word for that . If so, sorry .

I can play piano in my head, does that count? I like the piano, but cannot play / have never played. With 30 years I feel I am getting too old to pick this one up.

How many musicians do we have out there? If so, name your instrument and how long you've played it...

For me:

Piano-9yrs.
Electric Guitar-1 year

Bass, keyboards, guitar, drums and a little bit of sax.
I'm a bass player at heart though

No one's ever too old to start learning how to play an instrument...

Guitar, almost 50 years, played professionally in two bands and our family group and it seems creativity is actually in my reach, seem to be making better music now than 20 years ago. Mandolin, 20 years but not steady progress. Awful fiddle, passable banjo, dulcimer, autoharp, concertina, which broke. Some piano.
