No idea if this will get removed or I've put it in the the wrong place but here goes.
I play keyboards and organs and have done for years and presently a Genos which I love. But also  I  I've got two guitars, both Yamahas, plus a classical guitar, make unknown .and also two ukuleles, set to high and low G . And a three string cigar box guitar which I play with a bottle.. and in the past a concertina, which I gave up on and a piano accordion..is this normal for most people or am I as my wife thinks a bit over the top. I'm not going into all the computer stuff. Midi keyboards and the rest I've bought, that would take another message. maybe time for another glass of wine and a lie down.

Sounds normal to me ... if you enjoy music.

I have and play 2 guitars (Fender acoustic and Stratocaster), bass guitar, banjo, hawaiian ukulele and a drum set. Plus I sing.
But anymore I am wrapped totally into using my Yamaha PSR-S950 keyboard. I am a full band with backup singers and arrange each song. Nobody in this band gets mad and quits or gets drunk or high anymore.  ;)

Life is very good.  ;D

I tried golf once but I couldn't get the ball past the little windmill. I must have been as it said on the entrance, Crazy.

hi Oldden,
I can understand you. Sometimes we just wish to tryout other instruments, but at some point a limit must be set -don't ask where that point is, though  :)
I had acordion, clarinet and guitar in past and finally decided for keyboard only.. I mean, one can only concentrate on one instrument -I don't even play golf  :D

It doesnt matter how many instruments you have got, you always need one more.

I've got a Fender Tele and Strat, Cole Clark FL3 and Ashton acoustics, 3 Optek Fretlight strat style electric guitars, Yamaha bass and a Yamaha Genos.
My wife just doesnt understand.

I played the Trumpet years ago but gave it up when I got out of school. They aren't much fun to play alone. For me, now it is just Piano and Genos. I have thought about getting an accordion though as my Dad used to play one as well as piano and organ. I would be afraid I would pull all my chest hair out. Reference to Benny Hill! ;D

I have an Akai EWI 4000s (Electronic Wind Instrument) which I MIDI connect to a Yamaha VL70m (Virtual Acoustic tone generator).
I'm still very much a beginner with it. It can't half create some weird sounds tho'.

I just purchased a Melodica. Fun instrument!
