In accordance with the prophecy I would like to state I also play some odd instruments (recorder, glockenshpeel, etc.) The "easy instruments" but didn't post them earlier as I considewr them of no importance to me or others. In acordance with the prophecy I have changed my mind.

There don't seem to be many cellists... :( Maybe when all the BTEC(an organization to teach small children string insruments) kids grow up there will be more losing their sanity joining SW forums.

*lack of sanity and sleep on caffiene-try it today for posts even randomer than ever before!*

I am of the opinion that if an instrument is easy you're not playing it right.

There may be a few exceptions for simple percussion, but this holds true for melodic instruments.

Well, there's complex xylophone technique, like those guys with, like, three mallets in each hand and stuff. I should think that would apply to all mallet instruments (I think that's what it is, unless I've confused it with something else).

Umm... I have basic piano skills, which allowed me to create God Damn Snow (available for listening and download on my Myspace profile - www.myspace.com/zeeqon5 ) and Edam Cheese Expert (one version of which is finished but still needs work and is therefore not released yet), but the latter is incredibly simple and the former was mostly programmed using Cakewalk Home Studio's click-and-drag interface.

I own a bass guitar, which I used to create "Life In A Fish Tank" (also available on my Myspace), a non-musical soundscene. It hardly qualifies as playing though.

I can play a rainstick fairly well, as evidenced by another non-musical soundscene (once again, available on my Myspace), "Three Internet Geeks Arguing While Driving In The Rain".

In other words, I can't play any instruments. :P

Hi. Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Leave your sanity at the door for the fluffy turtles to feast upon. (Although it sounds like you already have done so.)

Dikiyoba hopes the so-called prophecy has nothing to do with musical instruments.

Not completely true. If you are very good at your playing, ofcourse this depends on the piece of music you are playing, then it may be easy. if I have to play something that is below my level, then yes, I would think its easy.
