Am I the only one on a classical instrument? I've played trombone since 4th grade (currently a senior in college).

Nope! Also a trombonist (played in a Symphony throughout college).

Sometimes a little Mahler goes a long way towards getting the creative juices flowing.

violin(16 yrs), cello(3), piano(5), and miscellaneous bowed string instruments on the shoulder (viola, rebec, vielle).

for me, it's Bach and Dvorak to get in my creative sphere
