Nope.
I play "whatever", including classical, bluegrass, jazz (badly, working on it), rock, and whatever else I make up.

No
Nothing against BG at all, just I'm UK and more oftem play Celtic, English, Irish tunes.
We'll have none of that finagling here! Strictly majority rule, please and thank you.
But yes, I imagine bluegrassers are the most major minority hereabouts, but not the majority. Isn't there a statistical term for that?
Ah: majority minority. There's a mouthful.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller

No. I like to listen to bluegrass and I play it occasionally, but I favor folk, hymns and gospel. Throw some country in there, as well.

No.
Gibson A-Junior snakehead (Keep on pluckin'!)
No bluegrass since I discovered non-fungible bronycore.
Oops. Didn't have my reading glasses on and thought the OP asked "Are you ... a manly bluegrass player?"
I believe the answer is still "Yes."
No.
I play mostly classical and Celtic.
No.
I play mostly Irish tunes, though I am not averse to other styles of music and will gladly give them a go.
If the team doesn't pick you, for the band, you do something else..

No, but I play music of the world and bluegrass is included in that category...
Music washes away from the soul the dust of every-day life. Auerbach.
The rejection of 'the others' is a tragedy of the human being; If it comes from emigrants, an added horror!
Of the six people that have been most involved in the operation of this site since inception including forum moderators, I'm the only one that has been in bluegrass bands but haven't considered myself anything remotely close to being a bluegrass player since the late 1980s. We're scattered amongst jazz, classical, celtic, folky/miscellaneous, church/praise, gypsy jazz, Brazilian, etc. So to the total you can add six more in the "no" category.

No, but perhaps if I eventually switch from an 'A' to and 'F' style instrument that will change
Yes
No, traditional bluegrass not my cup of tea.
Was in the past but no longer. Too much good music out there. Although the common person might think it is bluegrass, those who know don't.
Yes.
