Well I'm 15, but age range is 14- 18. Not much instrument experience required, but you have to be easy to get along with too and willing to pursue music as a career.

I found this funny for some perverse reason.

Maybe it's because if you knew you went and responded to that ad, that it would probably be the lamest, dorkiest thing you've experienced in a long time, or maybe the extreme lack of self-esteem from the OP of that ad. |

It also touches upon the fact most musicians don't like to discuss- you don't actually need to be good at your instrument to have a successful music career. We like laughing at the wide-eyed innocence, yet know in the back of minds that the project this kid starts has just as much a chance as making it big as anyone else.
That should brighten your day!
