Apologies again if there are similar threads. I guess I'm just curious about people's relationships with their instruments.
I wondered who among us plays other instruments? And if so, what?
In my time I have played many...mainly electric bass and guitar, but I've dabbled (or more) with drums, trumpet, sax, mandolin, banjo (tenor and 5 string), fiddle, keyboards and synths...I guess that is it.
I have come to the realization that the ukulele IS my instrument. I rarely play anything else these days, my hands are getting too bad to play guitar or bass, so I'm selling all those off.
In fact, I am selling all my electric and electronic recording equipment and instruments. I want to downsize and I want to focus just on the ukulele.
That said, I think I will try to learn my way around a harmonica better. I have a few nice ones and I love them as portable, inexpensive (or they can be) instruments. I also think they pair well with the uke...play one with a neck rack ala Bob Dylan or Neil Young...
Aside from ukulele, the harmonica is the only instrument I feel any desire to interact with.
I may build another washtub bass at some point. I really enjoy those. But it is likely in the future I won't have a place to store or lug one around...I really love the combo of bass/uke.
