Почему Present Perfect то? Больше автор поста на перечисленных инструментах не играет?

Aleh Laadded a comment 8 years ago

Именно потому, что до сих пор играет, perfect. Я бы употребил форму have been playing, если бы действие началось лишь короткое время назад, например на концерте, который до сих пор продолжается.
В принципе, оба варианта правильны.

Aleh La, вообще разница между временами есть. И вы не совсем правы (или, скорее, совсем не правы :)) относительно недавно начавшегося действия. Попробуйте задать вопрос к этому предложению, начинающийся с "how long" и вы сразу поймёте разницу :)
