    I play piano currently. I played drums for 4 years and dabbled in a few other instruments(100% muzo family).

    Had some experience with clarinet, trombone. Producing and composing, of course. Recently started singing lessons and plan to take that to the finish line.

    Affirmative. I prefer mixing records though. That is the most fun for me.
    Everybody is going to have an opinion.
    Just do your thing to the best of your ability and have fun with it.

    My main instruments are bass (electric and double), trumpet/flugelhorn and guitar (electric and acoustic). I have over 30 years experience playing bass and trumpet/flugelhorn, and over 20 years playing guitar. Each instrument I studied formally for several years, and still take lessons periodically to keep my skills sharp.

    The genres of music I typically play are Funk (P-Funk, Ohio Players, Cameo, etc.), R&B (Stevie Wonder, Teddy Pendergrass, etc.), Blues (B.B. King, Buddy Guy, etc.) and Jazz (Miles Davis, Bill Evans, etc.).

    I also studied classical piano for 8 years, and voice for 2 years. I still practice singing, especially when playing the guitar, but no longer play the piano or keyboards unless I am writing a tune.

    played saxophone as a youth, which allowed me to play the clarinet too. Don't play any more because I don't have either, but I would like to learn the drums in my lifetime.

    Guitar, bass, drums, singing, piano, trumpet, clarinet, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, didgeridoo, autoharp, harmonica... Basically anything I can get my hands on.
    Our concept of "self" is merely the transition from the potential energy in our body into the kinetic energy of your actions.

    I used to play drums back in the 90s by self learning. I studied basic music in elementary but never really paid attention to it and thus I forgot how to read notes. I only played at home most of the time and jammed a few times with a neighborhood band. I can also play some keyboards with very limited tunes. So that's about it.

    Same here. Barely played in the last few years though so I'm not that good anymore, was quite into it when I was at high school.

    I can play basic keyboard and piano as well.

    I wish I'd spent more time learning instruments when I was younger and had more free time, I'd love to be able to play the sax, be better at piano, lots of other stuff... in particular I'd love to be good at playing jazz. I reckon if I'd grown up in the 40s/50s rather than the 90s/00s I'd have been a bebop head rather than a techno/house head
