I play piano, electric guitar, bass and drums.
My main bass is a Highway One Fender Jazz, my guitar is a Squire Fat Strat and my drum kit is a pearl vision series with Sabian AA and AAX cymbals.
My favourite instrument to play (and the one I'm best at) would be the drums, followed closely by the bass.

Got myself one of these, but I'm a vocalist in my band.
Dude....Man...That's fricken beautiful...What is that?
I play:
Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone, harmonica(s), 5-string banjo
I can also play (but don't currently possess):
Violin, piano
Also possess (bot can't play well):
Acoustic guitar, ukulele
Clarinet I've played for sixteen years, stopping at grade 5 during secondary school. I'm grade three violin and grade four piano. As for the others, I've never bothered to aquire any official qualifications or tutorage. All instruments end up gravitating towards me one way or the other, so I get to play all-sorts. Kind of a bad thing, as it gives me too much choice: makes me a master of none. Can sing too.

I play bass and I have:
Mexican Fender Precision Bass (Lake Placid Blue)
America Fender Jazz Bass 5-String (Black)
Squier Vintage Jazz Bass (Natural)
Epiphone Thunderbird (Dark)
'87 Japanese Squier Stratocaster (build quality is just as good as a standard Fender)
At the moment though I'm learning the Piano Accordion and I have an Hohner Arietta IVM
Also I have an Hohner Harmonica and some Jews Harps.

Cool. We need to see more recorded stuff, escapists! I'm sure I've got a few around, someplace...Claripit772 said:I'm a percussionist! I especially like mallet percussion, and consider marimba to be the instrument I am best at.
I originally started clarinet when I was 11, and tried the marimba when I was 16 and made the switch permanently. My first mallet piece was written by Ney Rosauro, who is now my absolute favorite composer. I even got to meet him because he teaches an age-unrestricted percussion camp (He's the one introducing me to the audience in one of my youtube videos where I performed one of his pieces.) I spent one semester of college not majoring in music and realized that it was a major mistake, so I formally auditioned and have been a music student ever since
Did someone say more recordings?maninahat said:
Stuck in the Middle With You
All Along the Watchtower (I try and outdo Hendrix)
We Didn't Start the Fire (didn't have a lyric sheet to read either)
Oh Pretty Woman (Gary Moore died the day before)
Smoke on the Water (Watch for how we change tempo three times at least)

Ah! A fellow tuba player!TheYellowCellPhone said:
I'm an Eb tuba player myself. It's older than I am, and the fourth valve has a nasty habit of shifting around, but it's mine! I also learned to play the baritone horn, which I focussed on after discovering how dreadful I was at the violin.
I quite like 10 part brass ensemble stuff (Chris Hazel's Brass Cats will always hold a special place in my heart), but by far I love any piece that has an interesting tuba part in it (Holst's Mars e.g.). You have no idea how many composers don't appreciate a bass line!
Got an Ibanez ICX220 w/ Marshall MG30DFX, also recently picked up a Fender Squire P-Bass and Rumble 15 as I wanted to learn Bass.
Never had a class, I've just noodled for years, though I'm ordering Grade 2 RockSchool books for both; hopefully I can get certified soon.

I play the highland snare drum. In a pipeband.
Here's a video of my band playing during competition season just this year:
I'm actually a grade 1 solo player (Grades in solo competitions go from grade 5, the lowest, 4, 3, 2, 1 and then open, the highest. I'm trying to move on to a grade 1 band. Btw, grades in band competitions are the same, but the highest level is grade 1, there is no open level for bands.) So I'm actually far better than the drum-corps overall level. In other words, I'm pretty good.

I play the Ocarina 
I have a twelve hole Ocarina that I've been playing for around half a year. I'm getting okishly good and take lessons (online) from this guy. Well, sort of anyway. He has Ocarina youtube tutorials, and sells other teaching guides as well as tabs.

I have a tenor saxophone and played it in the concert and jazz bands through high school. Unfortunately it is damaged and I haven't gotten to play it much since then, so instead, I fiddle around with this thing I picked up in china.
If I ever go back I think I will buy the more professional model they were trying to sell me instead of the decorative one. I find it quite fun to play.
I tried, but all the pictures looked too vaginal to post on this site.
Cookie if you can figure out my main instrument from that alone (and yes, it IS an instrument!).
Other than that, I've briefly played tin whistle and French horn, and spent significantly longer playing the piano, but I'm still not terrific at it.

Been playing Keys since the past 2-3 years, but spent most of my childhood/adolescence playing piano.
Not my arrangement, and this was a work in progress/self assessment of what I needed to improve on. I highly recommend people tape themselves when they play when looking to improve on technical aspects.
