Don't have any photos readily available, but I play trumpet, guitar, piano, and bass. I'm classically trained on both trumpet and piano, and I have a small amount of jazz training on both trumpet and guitar. I've been playing trumpet for about 10 years, piano for about 6, and guitar and bass for about a year. I also started messing around with drums about 6 months ago and I've gotten somewhat decent. I'd absolutely love to learn cello, but they're way too damn expensive for this poor college kid :/ As for models: Trumpet- Yamaha YTR-4335G (hopefully be upgrading soon)
Guitar- Espana Classical
Piano- Yamaha YDP-S30 Digital Piano
Bass- Univox Coily
You don't by chance live in the Raleigh Durham area, do you? I miss making music with a trumpeter. I agree, the cello would be a fun instrument. I have a 2 year old daughter and I'm looking forward to her taking violin lessons so that she can teach her old man how to play.
Unfortunately not :/ I actually live in Boston, so I'm more than a short trip away from Raleigh. If you want to see some cool cello playing check out this video. I saw him perform live at a jazz festival in Boston last year and it was absolutely amazing.
That was fantastic, thanks for the link. The emotion in his picking or pizzicato(?) is really fantastic. I liked the composition too. Thanks for putting him on my radar.
No problem! I'm absolutely mesmerized every time I watch him play...absolutely stunning.
