I know that we have a master musician, Ashton Gray, as a person of significance in the music field. But that does'nt necessarily mean that he is the only one who plays a music, even if that means that person was somewhat amateurish at best at it. For example, because my character came from the far east, and slowly traveled westward, he eventually became very well hearsed with his ocarina. If not, it does'nt mean that your character is bad for it, I was just curious. |

Don't forget about "Magic Hands" Foxonian, Maestro of the Ivories. Hmm... would the term "ivories" as applied to keyed intruments (i.e. piano family) still apply to a pipe organ? |

I'm not entirely sure, I've never even really heard of an ivory before. |

I never said that this topic was about 'Master' musicians Marx, I just wanted to know if there were other furs who 'could' play an instrument, whether they do it well or not. |

I've always assumed the term "ivories" only referred to pianos, as in the phrase "tickle the ivories". Pianos, harpsichords, organs, and synthesizers are usually referred to as "keyboard instruments". Still, it's probably safe to say that Foxonian would likely be as skilled on piano as he is on the organ.
Back on-topic, I've always envisioned Johnny being fairly good at the harmonica, plus he probably knows how to strum at least a couple of chords on the guitar (just enough to get by, really). He's also not a terrible singer, but definitely not a pro like some others. |

Heh, I can see how good music sometimes can compensate for bad use of voice. |

I don't know Caroline, but I'm pretty sure there is no real wrong way, lol. But I chose the ocarina because I can play it in real life as well. I kinda figured that if anybody did list an instrument in their fursona, I could only assume that they could do it in real life as well. |

If you read Ewan's description, youll find hes a casual violinist/fiddler. Really only so he can get into drinking songs with some other musicians and play some of the drinking songs of Ireland. |

Oh, well in real life it's different... I don't know how to play the harmonica at all, though I do know how to strum a few chords on the guitar (like I said earlier). Plus, singing-wise I can carry a tune fairly well, but sometimes have trouble finding my range (I tend to flux between tenor and baritone), which can lead to embarassing voice-cracking when reaching high-notes.
I also play tenor saxophone and clarinet, but didn't think they fit Johnny Six-Killer's character. I basically picked harmonica as a compromise, since it would be easier for him to carry around in the deserts and Great Plains of the American West than a more elaborate woodwind instrument. The other idea I had was for Johnny to learn to use the Native American flute. I've played around with those in real life, though I can't say I'm anywhere as good as, say, R. Carlos Nakai...

I can see where applying yourself in your fursona can bring out certain conflictions when it comes to deciding exactly what should be placed in it. For me, I really am an ocarina player, I have 7 different kinds of ocarinas, all of which I practice with diligently until I have almost completely mastered them. I love my 12 hole tenor though the best, but the alto is good for playing livelier songs. Thats the reason why I chose that instrument as my character's own personal choice.
Here is an example of what a good tenor ocarina sounds like, though this is a double hole, so its far more difficult to master. I may be good, but I am still lacking when it comes to this guy. Hope you like zelda songs.

Um....Instruments....I could say that I am a master at playing virtually every instrument starting with a consonant, but I'd be lying...I cannot do anything other than sing.
And Cassandre can't even do that.
She can play the piano a little bit, but only what her foster sister and mother taught her. And that wasn't very much. They didn't like to teach. |

Well, in actuality I can (poorly) play the saxophone. In this time period, the good doktor plays the cello with some proficiency, thanks to her classical and traditional upbringing. And we both share a love of organ music, albeit cannot play it at all. But hey, I can always pester Foxonian or use one of those newfangled gramophones.  |

I appreciate your feedback everyone, because who knows, one day we could go to a point eventually in a storyline, like christmas, when everyone goes carolling or an orchestra that would use everyone who could play an instrument. |

I once considered having Constance learn to play the harp. Not professionally at all, but just something she'd have fun with in her spare time. I've moved away from the idea again, though, as I think it's enough that she's an opera singer. She doesn't really need any other musical hobbies, I think. |

begining to consider maybe giving my fursona just a little bit of background in music(nothing fancy, just a basic understanding of a simple instrument) after all, i did say in my fursona that marx likes the theatre.
so, that being siad, i have two questions for the more senior members(particularly the historians)
1. how common was i to play an instrument
2. whats a nice, elegant, and simple instrument to play |

Instruments aside, at least to know that you guys are being true to your character rather than just trying to make up material as you go. |

I never meant it as an insult marx, since I believed you knew more about your character than I do. |
