Just curious if there are many musicians in this community! Do you play any instruments? If you do, which? Do you sing?
Yes!
I play the piano (and sometimes I sing in the shower). Also, I make tracks with Ableton Live, but that's a different story :P
I've always fiddled with sound/music for fun and profit. Current favorite applications:
I also have a Teenage Engineering OP-1 which is great fun too.
Acoustic and electric guitar. Piano. Mandolin. Drums.
In a prior life, music WAS my life. I went to school for audio engineering and music production. It's still a big part of my life and keeps me going when I find challenges in design & development.
Mainly drums here, but also a little guitar. I've played drums for over 20 years, of which I've been in "good" and not so good bands - even a Journey tribute band for a bit. I like playing all music but mostly heavier rock/metal with some good double bass 🥁
I sing and play saxophone, although I haven't been able to find time outside of work and other life happenings to do these things much in the last few years.
I do a little acoustic strumming and a little singing and the odd open mic night as I don't see why my neighbors ears should the only ones that get punished occasionally.
Drums here :)
I play synthesizers from time to time, when I feel like it.
I have no background in music, but I like music theory and learn on my own and play by hear.
Yes! I play the piano! 🎹
I've also been pretty active making music with FL Studio. Here's an example:
Yes, some instruments. But I have more skills with the drums. I actually graduated in Music and Technology, and worked in some projects with game and film scoring. But I didn't like to work with Music, go figure... At least my son has a lot of instruments to play with me now :)
When I graduated I already had a career in development, so it was clearly the easiest path to keep a stable income.
Funny thing is I never graduated in any programming related field. Almost graduated in physics, though.
I play guitar 🙂
I like anime a lot so I play japanese things. Some years ago I recorded some covers on YT youtube.com/watch

guitar, fingerstyle. so basically with slapping, tapping and percussions. I play since 12 years but only the last 4 years I improved to a level where I can say I enjoy hearing it myself.
I used to play guitar since school. Primary Metal. But the last years I had no time to play. Kids are taking all the the time besides work.
I play percussion. Drums, darbuka, Djembe, cajon, tambourine, my office table.
Right now I am working hard to collect some money to buy myself an awesome electronic drum kit.
I also love playing the ukulele. :)
I have a Jew's harp. I wouldn't daresay I play good on it, but at least my children enjoy it (or not; after a while my daughter wants it for herself. Maybe it's criticism.)
What we both do with my wife is singing. I think both of us are pretty good at it, although it' s clearly not a career option for us. Yet again, our children love it, and also sing a lot.

I can play a little on the ocarina, bodhran, djembe, and a tiny bit on electric guitar. I would love to pick up my instruments again, but my dog freaks out when I play. Such a critic! :D
