So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician?

Piano.

Still don't have the patience to read music -- my first lesson in my twenties on "Put Put Goes the Little Steamboat" somehow failed to really move me.

But I love to improvise with chords and blues scales, "fake" using chord symbols and also sing.

Don't know if that is worthy of the word "musician" but there you have it.

Accordian, Harmonica, Bandoneon, bass and a-little guitar. Havn't played professionally though hence can't consider myself as a musician.

Pianist since childhood, audiophile since discovering my mother's 78 rpm album (literally, in this case) of -Peter and the Wolf-. First time I saw the LP, I thought, "where did the rest of it go?."

I play guitar, first rock and since college folk, have sung in a number of folk groups and now sing in a number of choirs and small groups, principally classical but some pop and barbershop.

Raised as a baroque organist through seminary; escaped to play those great Canadian organs sprinkled around northern RI canuck parishes as a teen (weddings and funerals), then bought my first big 'ole Boston upright piana as a young adult, finally getting serious with my current Steinway B 4 years ago. So now I've migrated away from Bach and Buxtehude towards Brahms, beethoven and Schubert, with a dabbling of straight jazz. So I continuously marvel at how my "B" sounds different EVERY day because of temperature/humidity conditions: that "magic octave" in the low treble moves like a barn swallow...no wonder the Steinway techs call it the "money octave"...they live off the frequent voicings the golden ears demand!
Life could be MUCH worse! Cheers to music-making. (PS I can't dance!)
