arg, electronic metronomes are annoying, unless it's mutable, and you can only see the red and green lights in time without the beeps
mine ticks, like makes a fake ticking noise
not that annoying really

He he he. Yeah, I guess it does. I should pick up a smaller instrument; bassoons heavy and expensive. I went to see a music performance once and this guy had a bright red one that cost around $65,000. :eek: Although, on average you can get a decent one for 'normal people' for around $3000 - $8000 (the higher cost ones are concert bassoons). Reeds are expensive too at $16 a go. Especially if you keep chewing on them like I do. :(

Done babbling. :)

LONG LIVE DOUBLE REED PLAYERS!!! hehehe :D

anyways, yeah the reeds are expensive, mine for my little oboe costed $16. An old friend of mine started playing Bassoon and the reeds he got were $50 or something, and he broke one at band camp and they had to run out and get him another one :( it was funny though.

P.S. no band camp jokes please, i get them enough being a flute player too! hey get this, i was walking into a maccas one day after school and i had my flute and i sat down and some fat blonde (no offence) bitches started saying/gesturing the band camp line. was not happy!

He he, so true! Just out of curiousity - what type of instrument do you think it would be easiest to improvise on? Plus, I guess it depends on the type of music...

Well I play the drums and I'm going to have to go with drums. With melodic instruments you have to worry about keys and scales etc whereas with drums theres no set notes (and a standard drum can't be tuned to a note anyway).

I've been playing the violin for less than a year but since I managed to finish preliminary in 6 months I'm a first grader now...though I wish I was a better player.
I played the keyboard when i was younger but sucked, so I quit and took up the flute. Play that for a year before the school decided it didn't want a band anymore so it took back all our insturments and we were left without music (yes...quite sad).

I'd really like to self teach myself the guitar though, it looks like fun.

Haha, I would have no idea. I have only played the guitar since the start of this year and had basically no music experience before that:p. I don't think you could tell unless you tried every single instrument though:).
