What do you play?
I should have read this before I answered. Huh.Great Highland Bagpipes. But I haven't played in about 7 or 8 years and I doubt I can play any longer. It's an instrument that takes a lot of practice to build up your lungs and finger coordination. It's also an instrument that sounds truly awful when played badly. :hurt:
I guess I just don't have the time these days.
I guess I got tired of it because the instrument is so limited in range. It's one of the very few instruments that cannot play regular music because it's only capable of a single octave, therefore it usually only plays tunes written specifically for the GHB. That, combined with the pain of properly maintaining the instrument and practicing just made me lose interest over time.I kind of grew out of it myself. Was more fun when the Army paid me serious money to do it.
