    I used to play a trumpet in highschool. I miss that sucker. Maybe that's
    why my teeth are in such a bad shape. I wore braces and played a
    trumpet in school. What a tough situation for my mouth! Oh well!
    Now the only horn I can play now is the harmonica.

    Are you talking Free Jazz or BeBop influenced Bagpipes?

    I wished I could use the computer keyboard and it would play music like
    a piano or organ.

    Judy, I found a virtual keyboard. It can play piano, sax, organ, flute, pan pipes, strings, guitar, steel drums and double bass. It also has 6 drum beats. I think it's cool especially for me whose keyboard is something with the Enter key! I actually use it to tune the banduria and guitar.

    You can find it at http://heavygames.com (of all places!) and do a search (ctrl-F) for the 'virtual keyboard'.

    I think about learning to play Uillean Pipes. I guess it must be a bit similar to organ, as they both have pipes, and the organ is almost the same as piano, as much as I know. So I guess I will not have much significant problems on this way. And I have already found the Uillean Pipes in Ebay!!!

    The organ and the piano have one thing only in common: they are played using a keyboard ... that's where the similarity ends. Their respective techniques are poles apart. But that's only my humble opinion, I could be wrong.

    Mmmmm.....Looks like I have to leave my idea concerning Uillean Pipes then...

    They are even less similar with piano - no keys ( or I could not see them on the photo )...

    I think a cello would be kinda neat to play. A violin that is a little
    beefed up than the actual size of a guitar.

    Ohh the guitar. I do play other stringed instruments but the guitar is not one of them. I made some effort to it but something was not 'happening'.
    btw Green_Ambit, I do play the bagpipes. It does take some effort but its well worth it. Give it a go!
