Once a member of the Dutch Hammond organ society invited me to his store where kept his collection: 2 B3's, a C3, a L100 and M100 and two Leslie boxes, incredible! Only pushing the start button is already a sensation, it reminded me of Pictures At An Exhibition by ELP. I was allowed to play a little bit on it (with my 3 chord knowledge ), what a powerful and distinctive sound and what a fun to switch the drawbars, an unforgettable experience. Once I hope to buy a Vintage Sound Module with great Hammond sounds

People that can play the organ really impress me. Now, playing a keyboard with an electric organ sound is one thing, but playing the real Hammond organ with two sets of keys and foot pedals--that's very impressive. Real Hammond Organs cost a whole lot of money, though... |
Real Hammond organs are really expensive - but Technics made affordable ones, and I had one of those. BTW: It's not that complicated ... you're playing three different "sequences" simultaneously, but usually the bass and left hand are arranged so that they're not "interfering", and decoupling the right hand from the left hand is something that "normal" keyboard/piano players also learn.

I play classical guitar, I have had one year lessons when I was at about 20 years old (I am from 1960). Ten years ago I had 10 flamenco guitar lessons because flamenco is my passion and now I can play a little bit but I am happy with that I am on the brink of buying a Western guitar, mainly because of the sound while playing rhythm guitar. I also play a few chords on the piano because I love the sound of the Grand piano  it's so warm and expressive, you can put so much from yourself in it (unfortunately I miss the skills to do that ..)

[hardcore] The electric triangle! [/hardcore]
But seriously, I'm a guitarist who can play bass, and I could play recorder a while back.

Well, I wanted to be like my progressive hero, so I started playing, er, the recorder. I've taught myself some parts of Thick as a Brick, Aqualung, Locomotive Breath, Solsbury Hil...um, and many more.
But, on top of that, I play (classical) guitar, ukelele (I'm quite good at that, they tell me), and I'm one hell of a whistler (now THAT was inspiried by Ian).

Piano: Studied some years but didn't had the patience or maybe the talent.
Drums: That is where I was strong, played in amateit¿r bands but the University got in the moiddel of my career.
Quena: A few months ago I started to learn the pentaphonic peruvian wooden flute and I'm advancing very fast, it's simple and melancholic, very sweet instrument.
