that is ME!what kind? alto, c-melody, tenor, baritone?
in theory those are easier to learn on because they use softer strings
what kind? soprano/alto/tenor?
i have faith in your facility for learning how to play all those things. if you think a regular banjo looks neat, you oughta get a load of what bela fleck does with his banjos.

I've not got a great amount, really:
-One Odyssey Bb clarinet
-A Yamaha descant recorder
-An electric guitar (I forget which brand)
-An electric violin (Technically belongs to my father, but he doesn't use it. Also forgot the brand)
Have also played the piano, saxophone & acoustic guitar, but all these instruments were on loan.

Everyone here seems to have a lot more than I do 
I love music, though, and will definitely be getting more over time.
-An old piano which still works very well in the living room.
-An acoustic guitar
-Electric guitar with a small amp
It's tempting to list everything...cappo, plectrums, tuner

I generally prefer blues and greens. Is that odd? What isn't?
