Bagpipes here. Will be in action on Saturday leading all the pufferer's to their doom 🙂
I played Tuba & E? bass at school, the latter in a youth brass band. I hated it. The only good thing i could say was it taught me basic understanding of music notation.
I was always an electronic music fan & worked with electronics so ended up building & buying quite a roomful of synths, drum machines, effects, & a portastudio from 1980 onwards. I never really learned to play the keyboard as such, but could program drum machines & sequencers live, work a multi-track tape etc. Dropped it in the early 90's due to complaints from my partner at the time, just as the electronic music scene really kicked off, & sold off all my gear, something i've really regretted ever since 🙁
Picked it back up a couple of years ago, but now do everything on the PC in Ableton. Loving it.
Fat fingered nylon guitarist here! Play purely for personal enjoyment mind. Been playing off and on since i was about 14(coming up to 20 years now!).
Although I do have it in mind to start building up a collection of obscure musical instruments! Think I'll start of by nicking my brothers mandolin, I can get a tune out of that. I can get a basic tune out of a tin whistle too. But I'd like to have a good collection in a few years time things like a oud or a sitar or some of the traditional instruments you from the likes of china and japan.
[i] Who has guitar lessons other than middle class wannabe kids who get bored after a few months?[/i]
er me?
Stuck my hand up middle of primary school for lessons, got my guitar (same one I use now! electric-blue parlour Yamaha 
) and was taught more or less till I left school by the same teacher mostly as well.
Some really talented folk, and some interesting instruments too - hurdy gurdy? how cool is that? and Guns 'n' Roses on electric ukelele, bongos and recorder - outstanding.
Loved the guitar clips, amazing.
Singletrackworchestra ? The conductor could use a spoke as a baton.
What tyres for ... ?
Remember this 2009 classic?
Sax
Classical Guitar (But I'm branching out)
Ukelele
I'll try anything once...
Awesome, and the end bit reminded me of Emerson Lake & Palmer 🙂 brilliant
Oh btw I also have grade 5 ish french horn, grade 2 violin, I can get a tune from assorted other brass instruments, a recorder and a saxophone.
I used to play classical guitar and still have one on a stand in the corner of my office but don't play very often - or very well. The recorder sounds cool, if nothing else a robust and easy to transport instrument 😀
Yup, guitar(electric and spanish), piano, mandolin, banjo, banjolele, harmonica, lap steel and washboard and sadly have at least two of each 🙁

Er, most of the pro and session players I know or employ occasionally, people who want to be technically more proficient,wish to know more than ten chords and how they relate to each other and have broader knowledge of the fretboard as opposed to most of the hacks that play in pub bands?
I could be wrong, but I'm not 🙂
oh yeah and the recorder and it's interchangeable relative, the tin whistle are both pretty brilliant.
something a bit different for you karinofnine
A gemshorn
Electric guitar (and occasional) bass.
A little like bikes, I seem to take far more pleasure out of buying them and maintaining them than actually using them to their full potentials 🙂
Playing live tomorrow though!
