Musical Instruments

I've been wondering for a while, how many of us on this forum are musical?

I play the flute and saxophone

On my flute I'm learning the Claude Bolling suite (My favorite movement) , and Badinerie from Bach's Orchestral suite in B minor (a fairly good recording)

I'm nowhere near as good on my saxophone, as I never practice on it.

I play big flutes, though, and this is my claim to fame.

I play the Bass Flute,


And the Contrabass, link


The Contra, as we large flautists shorten the name to, is a wonderful instrument. I play one similar to the one in the photo (the one in the photo has a quatertone system!). I don't own it, but the teacher who dose was kind enough to lend it to me for a week.

How musically trained are the rest of you?
