Which instrument would you like to learn to play?

I'd love to learn to play the Chapman stick. It's the most versatile string instrument that I have ever seen. Here's a couple of videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7kIclA4yq4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFTupf0Rj8U

The guy in the first video is playing the cantina band song from Star Wars, the bass solo sounds really cool IMO. The man in the second video, who appears to be wearing pyjamas, is playing an improvised metal song.

Yeah, the Chapman Stick for me too. Specifically the Chapman Stick Bass (either 8-string tuned in fourths, or an 8-string or 10-string in reciprocal tuning).

Also the electric upright bass.

And the piano.

That should suffice...

Well I'm still learning bass and always will be haha. But I would love to learn sax. It has a really nice tone to it.

Tin whistle. It'd be great to have something light I could just throw in a pocket.

I own a tin whistle, but I've never learned how to play it. Maybe I should start.

I ordered one, but so far it's a mystery to me.

Keytars are brilliant. It's like being back in the 80s, minus the loud colours and hair.
