Ok, ante up ladies and gents.

How many, and what did you find to be the easiest way to learn to play it (if there even was an easy way)

I've played various clarinets off and on for 14 years, and have been playing bass off and on for about 6. I haven't picked up the clarinets for a couple years, but will probably start practicing those again this winter. I play the bass with a small bit of skill, but am just picking it up again after not really playing for a couple years.

I was once a very good euphonium player. I can also play trombone, bass trumpet, baritone, tuba and didgeridoo (which are all similar instruments). I played sousaphone in the college band, because they already had a euphonist. I got reasonably proficient at the clarinet too. I hated playing the piano, and I endured theory of music and composition classes because I had to...

I have the same problem as many (semi-)professional musicians - I can no longer listen (much) to music for relaxation, because my training takes over, and I go into "performance criticism" mode, which takes all the fun out of the exercise...

I sing in the church choir.

I could be a concert performer if I didn't have such a fear of audiences and being somewhat agoraphobic...

I play superbly the air harmonica, banjo, mandolin, violin, piano, guitar, trumpet, sax and drums...

In truth, I couldn't keep a beat if my life depended on it...

I played brass instruments in school band. I would probably pass out if I tried it now.

I can play a radio, CD, or cassette tape.

Honestly, I love good bluegrass guitar, and would love to be able to play it fairly well, but playing any musical instrument requires a sense of rhythm, and at least some musical ability, which are sadly lacking in me. I sing in the church choir ONLY because they have enough voices to drown me out.

Add to this, I can play a truly antique musical instrument called a "Record Player".

And let us not forget the new-fangled MP3! I can now carry a tune everywhere I go. (Several of them actually on my Palm Centro.) And it's the only way I can carry a tune
