How many of your play instruments?


So, how many of your play regularly, say at least 2 times a week?

Which instrument?

Would you rather play or listen to your system?

How much is your system worth at retail?

guitar. I can't say I prefer playing over listening, both have their unique and magnificent pleasures. Mostly, I play acoustic, and then it's my Collings D3 or Taylor 714ce. Now and then (mostly when my wife's away), I'll pull out my Fender Telecaster or Gibson ES347. I use Fender tube amps, unless I'm accompanying my wife's singing at church and then I'll play acoustic through a solid state AER Alpha.

Audio system is in the low five figures retail.
I'm on a Kawai digital upright piano a few hours a week and on a guitar +/- 15 hrs a week. At least 2/3 of that is acoustic. I use a Kronbauer 12 fret small jumbo, a Webber OM, and a Goodall Dread most often. Electric go to guitars are a Myka Dragonfly, a New Orleans Voodoo, and a Henman B thru Swart or Nolatone amps

I've got way too much hi first gear in the house, probably totaling north of $50 k. I usually listen more than I play, but a fair bit of that is in car or via Sonos as background.
Piano. Classical. Baldwin concert grand. Five times a week plus a lesson. I've studied for 23 years starting at age 37. I'm judged to be an intermediate advanced player.
Harmonica and voice. Blues. Started playing 40 years ago but only jamming recently.
How much $$$? Can't say.
Playing is better than listening but my repertoire is limited so I listen all the other time.
Guitar--classical and pop styles, a bit of everything except flamenco. Have played electric guitar in bands at venues in the largest cities of the US. Violin and viola--classical, just well enough to play at weddings. Mandolin and dobro--well enough to play with local singer/songwriters.

I enjoy playing and listening to my system pretty much equally.

My stereo is under 5k but sounds fantastic to me. I spent months choosing speakers and had help with the electronics.
