What was your first musical instrument?

Is it the same one you still play?

Mine was the harmonica and drum sticks my dad gave me when I was a kid. I had no 'drums,' just the sticks he gave me from when he played drums for a short while. I didn't really have an interest in the harmonica.

Later on, I had an interest in guitar, and bass guitar.

I played the trumpet through my middle school years and high school years. I was in the marching band, symphonic band, and the jazz band. I loved every minute of it. I don't play anymore sadly. But, I have wonderful memories.โ˜บ

@SW-User I played the trombone first then the trumpet in middle school and was also in the marching band. I was horrible though because I was too lazy to practice ๐Ÿคฃ.

The family piano came first then the guitar. I have 3 guitars and a organ. I've played all my life.

Piano. Yes I still play. It's a family thing. When I was a teen it was a way to Make quick cash. I would ask hotels to play at the lobby and get small cash for myself and my friends. I cant sing to save my life but I can play piano for a quick buck lol....Love it too as well :)

@Awfullybrave For the last 5 yrs, I've put most of my time into getting a degree in a certain field. If I spent the same amount of time learning the guitar, I would possibly be an expert at it by now

Probably a harmonica. Then a trombone then messed around with guitar but never was any good at any of them. Never really took the time to really learn.

@rjc36 I became more interested in paying bills....

I had like a little plastic guitar. It probably was a ukele but I never really played it properly. Recorder was first real instrument. I play that very rarely now but do still have recorders lying about here.

@FORMERLYbatovn My older son learned the flute. He doesn't play it anymore, though.

I started with a cheap recorder, and no, I don't play it anymore. Then, when lessons became available at my school, my parents rented a flute for me, and I stopped playing when the lessons stopped. I don't own or play a guitar anymore, either.

@Stereoguy At least I can read music. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Drums at 12 years old.

@Phire1 Yes, I have a drum set here at home, but my son plays more than I do. I started playing guitar 2 years ago.
Phire1 ยท 51-55, F
@Synyster I can imagine how proud you are to be able to teach your son drums
Synyster ยท 51-55, M
@Phire1 Yeah, he's really good, might even be better than me.

The first instrument I owned was a violin I got for my 8th birthday. (I don't have it anymore and I don't play anymore)
Phire1 ยท 51-55, F
