    I used to play String Bass and Viola in my younger years. The Baryton sounds really delightful:but, it does sound and look challeging . Here is a nice piece using the Baryton.

    For me it's still a soprano saxophone.

    I would have loved to play piano.
    A friend of mine who played great Fats Waller always told me that you had to start young to develop the strength in one's fingers.
    Much too late for me I'm afraid but I can still drum after a fashion on the coffee table.

    I`d like to learn basics of guitar, because it would be useful for me in composition. But I`m too lazy and simply don`t have time for it...

    I'd like to play a brass instrument. That's the only group of instruments I've never played before. Bassoons are also really lovely ^^

    Though I am a guitarist, I love Violin. I play piano but with right hand. Wanted to play with both hands.

    For me it would be Shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute). Most intense but far too much to study as a "second instrument". So I just listen.

    I'd love to play some sort of sting instrument, possibly a cello.
    It would be kind of fun to be able to play the octobass as well.

    Octobass is nice - But then it should be quarter-size(1/4).

    Used to play the piano, stoped when I was about fourteen. Regret it now. My friends tell me I should learn to play the guitar, but I am used to sarcasm.

    mrindangam or ghatam - interesting choices. Last year I picked up a pakhawaj to get some basics down, as it is the traditional drum used with my music. Main difference is you have to mix flour and water to make a thick paste you apply on the bass side of the pakhawaj for the bass resonance.

    I have to ask...why mridangam or ghatam?
