What instruments do you guys know how to play?

and how long've you been playing it for? What made you choose that instrument? Are you at the point where you are able to manifest the music you make in your head into reality? If you don't play an instrument, which one do you want to learn?
For me, guitar 7 years (self-taught), keyboard 9 years. For guitar, well, I'm a metalhead so that's self-explanatory For keyboard, my first time playing it was at a buddy's birthday party when I was 10 or so, just made random melodies all night long. In all honesty I personally prefer keyboard because of the infinite possibilities it has to offer.
For guitar I'm not much of a 'riff' person. I have always tended to enjoy dissonance, ambience and soundscapes moreso than solid riffing so needless to say I'm not a very technical guitarist and I love making drone metal/dissonant walls of sound with it.

I played piano for about 8 years and the cello in highschool. I wasn't too bad but I have moved on.
I would love to learn the guitar or mandolin though.

Badass.
I play Guitar, trombone, trumpet, baritone, tuba and piano.
Don't play any of the brass instruments anymore, but I did from 5th-12th grade. Guitar is my main instrument, and I'm teaching myself the piano.

I play guitar and melodica. I listen to a lot of folk punk kinda music. I'm not great at either but I can make okay music.
I'd love to learn banjo.

I've played clarinet (not jazz, though) for upwards of 27 years now. But props to the jazz clarinetist! I can't improv for sh*t.

I own a few different instruments like Sitar and Tabla but I wouldnt say I know how to play any of them. Or atleast not "classically".
The only thing I actually picked up and learned to an extent was dj'ing/mixing records.
I havnt touched any of my music shit in a long time... My zest for life is slowly coming back though and with it hopefully some inspiration and motivation to sit down with one of my instruments and create.

Ive played guitar and bass for about 15 years. Drums came naturally playing in bands about 8 years ago. I dick around on the piano. Im familiar with music theory...form chords and scales and such, but I cant sight read. Most of what I play on the piano is just from memory, or very slow and thought out improv. Nothing too impressive.
I also play the skin flute....

I played flute from 6th to 10th grade, then dropped out of band. I still have my flute but I'm kinda rusty on it.
We have an out of tune piano that I can play chopsticks on, if that counts

I can play the drums. But I havent had a kit for like 4 or 5 years but I sat in with my friends band a couple months ago and I actually surprised myself, I rocked that shit. I thought I would have lost it after all those years but I didn't, I actually killed it. What i really want is to learn to play a sitar they just sound so great i want one soooooo bad.

I played snare drum in beginning band. Our band director got arrested for DUI and fired though so I didnt move on to marching band because our music program was kind of a joke after that.
I want a piano so bad. My mom use to have one when I lived with her and I would love just sitting down at it and trying to work things out. ours was in tune though

Haha, I was going to join marching band too but changed my mind at the last second. I'm glad I did too, because it sounded like hard work
Pianos are awesome, but I know I'll never be able to play one because my fingers are just too damn short

I play guitar (acoustic, electric, etc.), bass, drums (and I own a beatpad), Keyboard/synth.
I've been playing guitar since I was around 12, bass a bit shorter than guitar. Drums and keyboard I only picked up recently.

Guitar, piano, oboe, bass, harmonica, accordion, and my laptop (if producing weird shit counts ). Mainly the first three and producing, all the others I've just messed around with (and still do every now and then ).
Started with piano 14 years ago as my first instrument, though my childhood dream's always been to shred the electric guitar. Took classes on music theory for a few years, coupled with piano lessons, then switched from piano to oboe (which I continued to play in my high school band when I moved to the US). At attempts to fulfill the childhood dream, started teaching myself guitar too once I moved here. Completely fell in love with the instrument, been doing it for 6 years now. Ironically, guitar is now the instrument I'm best at.
These days, it's pretty much the only thing I'll play for hours on a daily basis. I love my axes. LOVE 'EM
-------------------- <<<<<<<<---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>>>>>>> A game without challenges is boring. It is possible to live a happy optimistic life without being in denial about all the shit that goes on all around. You just gotta get up and dance with the fire instead of moping about it. Be thankful for your problems. Without them, your life would be a fucking bore. But don't make it all about the problems. There are magnificent wonders in this world worth living for

i used to play the viola in middleschool. dont have any instruments that i play these days but i sure would love one of these drums
drums start around 0:30 and picks up around the 1:30 minute mark, pretty long video but once he starts playing faster it is amazinggggggggggg.
i've never heard another instrument that has such a beautifully natural sound as the hang drum. but they're really expensive and are only made by a few people in europe i believe.

Ahh Hang drum. They are amazing instruments!
This video shows the hang well. It is not related to Younger Brother in terms of Simon Posford though.

I used to play guitar and bass, though I haven't even touched one in almost 2 years, so I probably can't play anymore. The only other instrument is a harmonica I dick around on every now and then.
