Me being a musician myself, I was just curious if anyone here played as well. I've just been playing the cello the past 7 years, but I've been attempting to learn the piano again.
Besides that, I also compose music. What about you guys?

That's cool. Do you play in an orchestra or just for the fun of it? |

Doesn't it get boring to not be in an ensemble after a while though? I didn't make it into my college's symphony this year and ended up getting placed in a sightreading class, and I've been bored out of my mind. I hate not having any concerts or recitals to look forward to.  Good thing I'm learning the first movement to the haydn C concerto right now, or else I probably wouldn't be motivated to practice the 2 hrs a day that I'm doing right now. xD

Well, played. I played the violin for a decade before I gave it up to focus on other things. I also played the piano for 7 years before giving that up as well. It's a damn shame it took me so long to realize I was playing these instruments for all the wrong reasons. |

It would take me too long to write the post, so I'll just say it's too personal to discuss. |

I played the viola for a few years, but the normal teachers left, and were replaced by the more band-type(is this the right wording?) music teacher(s) who honestly did not seem that interested in what we were doing. Thus, I stopped playing. I would like to learn the play the piano when I have the time and money for it. |

Yes, I like playing music Drums for long time. Percussion, specifically goblet shape drums like "darbuka". Trumpet, but at beginner level. Recently, (4-5 years now) I am more interested in reed flute, called "ney". |

I play the piano and violin, although I haven't had much chance to play either recently  I'm a real music-lover though, and these days I tend to get as much (or perhaps more) pleasure in simply listening to music than I ever did in playing it. It's great that you compose - I wish I could. (I did a bit when I was still at school - pretty much 10 years ago now - but of course my pieces were pretty terrible; and I have virtually no creative inspiration for music these days.)

I play the flute, and have recently picked it up again after a few years of not practising; it seemed such a shame that I used to play and enjoy it so much and it's dropped out of my life. My main instrument is the guitar, though. I also dabble in the piano, like a lot of people who can play a couple of instruments, but I've never really reached much of a level there. I also play the berimbau.

I may have been about 10 kyu at guitar years ago. Most fluent at programming synthesizers. I've always been most interested in composition and I'm still trying to work at it, but... when I was young I was incapable of working toward such goals and now I'm too old to get very far anymore. |
