Of course, I have tried many times to play a musical instrument. For example, I played the piano for 6 years and tried to learn the Dumbra for 1 year. In the 3rd year, I tried to play the guitar for 3 years. These musical instruments are very popular and produce good sounds. I really like them. I was so busy.
