Still some more instruments to go. At least one real one and one "technical" one.

For "technical", are you counting the Doctor and Seven singing a duet? Uhura singing several times?

No, not thinking of singing.

There could be more, but there is definitely at least one more main character who has played an instrument, and one where the person playing the instrument was not a main character, but became one in the next series.

Oh yeah: Scotty played the bagpipes at Spock's funeral. Ironic since James Doohan IRL was missing a couple of fingers due to a war injury -- it was physically impossible for the actor to play that instrument.

Otherwise: Keiko O'Brien played clarinet on TNG, before the two O'Briens crossed over to DS9. I don't recall Miles ever playing anything, however (and I wouldn't consider Keiko to be a "main" character, only a recurring one.)


On the language question: I still haven't figured out the language spoken by the Yellow Pages folks in TVH. I did find out that the crew of the whaling ship in the same movie spoke Finnish.

He played the Cello. I think there was a scene where he was playing in Ten Forward.

That's the one. The other main character I was thinking of was Jadzia playing the keyboard in Equilibrium. I forgot about Scotty.

Data plays the guitar in "Silicon Avatar":

Where were you when we needed you back on February 25th?

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

What is the actual name of the Circle?

Here's a question: Name all the main characters we see playing a musical instrument, and the instrument itself.

Spock (Vulcan Lyre, and piano)
Picard (Ressikan flute)
Riker (trombone, piano)
Data (violin)
Harry Kim (clarinet)

Do we count Worf singing Klingon opera?

I'll Add Sisko - Piano
Uhura- Piano
Geordi - some type of mandolin something
Q-Trumpet

Next question: how many "real" (meaning "non-constructed") languages do we hear spoken on Trek?

English - French - German - and for the win, Spanish-

Harpsichord, I think.


Janeway plays some unnamed musical instrument in the episode "Remember." I don't know if this counts, as this is not a real instrument.

 

[bbjeg]

Who was that girl who played the violin (I think) and later the roll out piano with Picard? I think they dated that episode too.

Trip Tucker briefly plays a harmonica in ENT: North Star, which he trades to borrow a horse.

He also played it in Precious Cargo

Nella Daren from Lessons. Another instrument player. (she was a main character in that episode)

Swahili.

I'll see your answer and raise it- English, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Swahili and for the win, L-A-T-I-N

I'm not gonna call my post a win (pride goeth before destruction ) but I can add one more. Da Vinci speaks Italian in VOY.

And I know the original question says "how many real languages do we hear spoken on Trek?" but I'm still going to mention TNG's Loud as a Whisper, which contains quite a few examples of American sign language.

Another Trek knowledge test:
Name as many characters with pets (aliens too) that you can.

 

[Tosk]

Spock
O'Brien
Data
Picard
Quark
Artim


Ummm...

 

[tombo74]

Archer!

 

[Tosk]

Heh, talk about missing an obvious one.
