>>2473Counting hiatus, that would be 20 years this month. I started with piano, then I branched out into a lot of other instruments. I have a good ear for music, so I can pick up and play just about any instrument. I also play the saw, ocarina (ofc), saw, banjo, penny whistle, bodhran, euphonium, guitar (badly, small hands), and strumstick.
I played instruments consistently for 14 years, then took a pause due to poor health. When I wanted to get back to it, I got a hand injury, and almost lost some fingers on my left hand. It took about 2 years for the nerves to heal, and to this day, I still can't put much pressure on those fingers. I think I might get back into it, but every time I try, I get frustrated because I can't match the level of skill I had before the injury. Maybe I'll put my head into it and start playing again. Only time will tell.
