I play the piccolo, flute, piano, guitar, and harmonica. I'd love to learn the violin but I just don't have the time...

Is the fingering the same for both the piccolo and flute?

Pretty much, the piccolo is just smaller and more difficult to keep in tune. My band director used to tell us this joke: How do you get two piccolo players to play in tune? ... Shoot one of them!

I play drums and piano (and keyboard if that counts as different). I tried to learn the violin but gave up because the strings really hurt my fingers. :o

At one point, in my youth, I was one heck of a bass player. My models then were James Jamerson and John Paul Jones. Ahh the memories.

I've taken piano lessons for 7 years. I don't have ANY talent, though.

I've tried guitar, piano, clarinet, and drums. I failed miserably at all.

piano, flute, piccolo and I love the comment about shooting one piccolo player! Back in the olden days, I wore overalls or painters jeans and the little side pocket was just perfect for carrying my piccolo to and from the field for marching practice. Best piccolo song in the world, imho, is Stars and Stripes Forever. I can still move my fingers in the pattern, and the trills still thrill.

Guitar is my instrument of choice. I play a Fender Stratocaster.

I can play piano pretty well. I also know how to play guitar but I'm not very good at it. My hands are too small.

I played trumpet years ago (read: high school), but haven't really tried much since then.
