I just love music infact I have played the piano since I was five.  Do you play any musical instruments?
I do play instruments. I play the piano and used to play a variety of brass isntruments.
Fascinating.  I have never tried brass.  I love the sound of the piano. It was invented in Italy b Barolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700.  I cant believe it is that old!
Yes, it is very very old. I believe the Violin is also of Italian origin. Music is a very fascinating area.
It so is! The violin is the smallest and highest pitched insturment in the string family.  I tried it when I was younger but my finger were too small.
That is an interesting tidbit. I have always been fond of the cellos and the double bass, as well.
In school a long time ago I learnt cello. For weeks we just plucked teh CGDA strings to  get the practice in. It has a beautiful sound also - when played by a professional, not me!
