Great thread!

Sweetie was scared at first when I used to practice French Horn, but I took her out of her cage, showed her the horn, let her crawl all over it, and then played it very, very softly, and after that she liked it. And she really liked trying to climb it. Sometimes when I'd play it she'd come to the front of the cage and ask to come out.

One time I was singing along to a CD, and I started playing with her. She was crawling on my shoulder, having fun. Well, when I stopped singing for a second, and the sound was still going, she got the most puzzled and scared look on her face! It was so funny! I held her up to the cd player so that she could see where the sound was coming from, and then she wasn't scared anymore.

Sweetie also plays keyboard by walking over the keys and pressing down on selected ones.

If the hamsters are asleep, they stay asleep, unless I'm too loud. If they're awake, Sweetie wants to play, and Selkie just wants to run in her ball.

Selkie hasn't gotten into music yet at all. She hasn't heard me sing much, and she thinks it's weird... Tolerable, but weird. She doesn't like it when LH plays guitar here, though his singing is tolerable to her also!

I put Selkie on the keyboard and she just tried to see if the wire music stand was edible. Walked right over the keys without pressing any of them down in the process, too.

Maybe she'd prefer accordion?
