I can understand that! One of my friend's dad has almost every instrument imaginable. He said he'd let me try out his violin (yet to happen, but I will know when the time is right). The annyoing thing is that my friend has no musical ability whatsoever so those instruments often go to waste
I like baroque pop (classical layered over indie rock/pop), some jazz (but moreso things influenced by jazz), acoustic chillout type music, Indie Rock, some grunge...classical, too, but not the kind that always plays on the radio...piano music as well. Actual artists=Andrew Bird, Norah Jones, Dave Matthews Band, Teitur, John Mayer (although as a person he can be quite the stinker), Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, Spoon, Feist, Vampire Weekend...the such. you?
