Stringed Cello - the loveliest rich tone, the heavenly Cello.

What musical instrument(s) can you play? what instruments would you like to learn how to play? I have played the violin/fiddle for 32 years.*ack* I should be better at it than I am! I would love to learn to play the harp and the banjo, and the mountain dulcimer (correctly) oh and the hammered dulcimer is incredible! but then there is always the bowed psalter....oh so many instruments so little time. But I would have to say that my favorite stringed instrument is the Cello, it is so mellow, earthy and rich in its tone.

Oh I see now, how lovely they are made! some look like mandolines ontop of drums. a few look like they are HUGE! I should love to hear the sound they produce. Is it bowed, or plucked, or strummed?

It is a plucking instrument. Really nice to know your curiosity of knowing about veena. Thanks for best response.

The flute. I dont like the rythm instruments like drums, banjo... nor do i like the stringed ones. The flute is the most natural of all instruments and i swear it is the easiest to carry around...

I can't play any musical instruments unfortunately, though i would love to be able to play the piano, and i've always fancied myself as a drummer! My partner plays bass guitar and he plays it excellently! He tried to teach me but my fingers were too soft and i found they started to ache quickly and weren't really long/big enough to manage the chords on the strings.

Unfortunately I ma not talented enough to be playing any instruments. However if I were to pick one I would have liked to know how to play at I would definitely choose the piano :)
