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

Royal School of Church Music-trained boy treble (St. Nicholas medalist for you RSCM alumni) but the voice didn't really survive the assault of hormones though I remain an avid choral singer to this day. Studied double reeds through grade school and university, working with Lacey Powell and Gwydion Brooke. Played with a couple of semi-major (i.e. not "top five") symphonies and did a fair bit of studio work in Nashville. Hung up my spurs years ago, though, except for occasional chamber music sessions with a few pals.

I think another fun thread would be to compare the ways in which different groups listen to music and what we listen for...professionally trained musicians versus amateur musicians versus non-musicians. I'm betting there would be significant differences.

I've played the violin since age 8 and have been playing the
piano for about 6 years.

I think this thread has been covered before. I play the piano--though not as well as I would like.

Guitar, piano
Studied at Indiana University School of Music

I studied/played the classical Kazoo since age 3. I'm decent.
