I play 'cello. My daughter is the professional musician in our family, but my son also took up the flute as a boy. I am afraid he dropped it again pretty soon. (neither son nor daughter have KC)

Can play the Piano a bit (got to grade 5 but as I have small hands and can't stretch an octave I couldn't get any further!), can strum a guitar, can play the harmonica very badly , can sing really loud especially when in my car on my own (but probably out of tune!), can't dance to save my life! Do I qualify for your orchestra ?

Pat,
Too qualify you need to play the wobble board too
At work I am a dab hand at getting tunes out of a compressed airline and lab equipment. volumetric flasks are good and some asthema inhaler actuators can give a good note.
Probably at my best playing a tune on the liquid nitrogen band.
Perhaps going a bit Blue Man band, but hey we have KC so we are used to being different.
When I had the Escort Cosworth, at traffic lights revving the negine I tried to play tunes by getting the turbo dump valve to chirup!
Capri has a nice note to it, especially if your in somewhere with a good echoe. When the car comes out will try and play some tunes on that
