I play more instruments than listed in this poll. Not that I'm particularly good at any of them though. But I don't care.

I love all instruments, in a way. If an instrument - even a cheap Casio toy keyboard - inspires you to make just one song, just one unique idea - it's worth the money.

Yes, I believe that everyone should learn to play an instrument.  It's probably my most satisfying hobby.  You're able to create sound and ideas that you're otherwise unable to do.  If anyone has not yet learned an instrument, I strongly suggest learning one; you will be much happier.Wink

I can do a decent Mikael Akerfeldt (both growled and clean), I'm pretty proud of that.

Voted piano, I did lessons for about 10 years. 7 years of classical, 3 years of jazz, and then I got bored.

For the past 3 or so months I've been playing guitar for a few hours a day, finally getting less terrible at that. Enjoying it way more than I ever did piano, though.

Piano - I'm in 5th class, but also do keyboards in two bands. I skipped one theory classCool. I play in a fusion band and a more rock-oriented one, but it's still in the process of forming.

I started out as a guitarist, then started playing harmonica, bass, and drums.  Now organ (with synth too) is my main thing.  I have a recording with me on my Hammond L-100 and synth in my signature.

Only drums for me...  begs the question, i wonder if Progheads have a higher proportion of mucicians amongst their fan ranks than other genres

Being a band teacher, I can play all instruments listed and then some...except for violin, I am terrible at that.  Bass guitar and Tuba are my main instruments though.
