Classical piano for 5 years.
Then contemporary for 2 years... I think.
Then contemporary and classical for 1 year (that was great).
Now it's just classical.

I also play guitar but suck at it and never had lessons.

I want to play flute because my grandparents did and we still have one hidden somewhere.

I also sing, but it doesn't always sound pretty.
My music!

I play guitar and flute. I can play a passable keyboard and I wish I had more time to learn about midi.
 
I used to play harmonica while playing guitar (yes, deep down, I'm a folkie). Then one day I realized the world is filled with people playing their harmonicas... badly.
 
I'm currently building guitars and I have several projects on the go. I have an octave XII almost finished. I'm putting the finishing touches on a telecaster.
 
I'm excited as I recently jumped at the chance to get an acoustic bass neck for real cheap. I've got a 12 string body that I've had for a while. You know how an acoustic neck on a 12 string body will sound like (probably sound like crap). I'm going to play it until I get better and then invest in a decent bass.

I play Flute, 12-String Guitar, Keyboards, and I Lead Sing. I also play drums as a hobby. I'm dying to learn Clarinet, Oboe, and Saxophone. I own a Clarinet, but it's f**ked as of right now.

It's actually a bit like driving - all 4 limbs working at the same time; they're not too expensive actually - I've a 1971 L122 & Leslie 145 cabinet & together, they cost around £600 (mind you, if you go for a C3 or B3, that's where the expense really comes in)

Guitar, bass, and enough keyboards to embarass myself. I play guitar semi-professionally in a new wave band (which would now be "old new wave") and write prog at home in my spare time...

I'm a classically trained cellist, was grade 8 at one point, I've played Bass and Keyboards in bands over the years and also some guitar on studio recordings and for songwriting. I did a soundtrack for a film last year on which I played all the instruments. I make and repair stringed instruments for a living and I own eleven guitars, eight keyboard instruments and at the moment probably about eighty or so violins, violas and cellos. Oh, and one double bass!

Keys:
 
My current rig is:
 
Alesis Fusion 8HD (88 Note Hammer action mega-synth)
E-MU Proteus PK6 - With Vintage, Ensoniq and Orchestral expansion ROMs
and my lovely Korg Prophecy mono-synth.Cool
 
I also have a Honer Pianet electric piano (which I've owned for nearly 30 years), An ailing 20 year old Yamaha Clavinova (which I can't bring myself to part with because it was my wife's first Christmas presie and cost her a LOT back when we were poor newlyweds!. ) and Casio VZ1 (The last real pro synth from Casio from the 80s), but the pianet is in permanent retirement and the VZ is is in semi retirement (It will be fully retired once I've sampled all my favorite patches  into the Fusion)
 
I suppose I should mention the handful of virtual instruments I use too, the EMU Emulator X soft sampler, The amazing Garritan Personal Orchestra orchestral library, Slayer virtual guitar, and a great little freebie Hammond emulation called NuBi. (I have a whole bunch more VSTi instruments, but they don't really get much use!)
 
My big wish is for a real Hammond B or C3 if (a) I could afford one, and (b) had the room for it (Those things are huge).  I may save may pennies for a Hammond XK3 which is the best Hammond emulation I've tried to date.
 
Oh here's some pics of the studio showing the toys:

Special note should be taken of the cunning liquid sound dispersion panel next to my wife's guitar on the far left LOL! (Never get thirsty recording in my studio!)

Electric guitar, some recorder and some keyboard...

I wanted to start playing a new instrument but I can't decide between violin, saxophone or transverse flute...

So which one shall I play? ConfusedLOL
