Do you play any musical instruments?

[Ginger_Ale]

I was wondering how many of us play any instruments, and if so, which one(s)?

I play the cello, contrabass, bass guitar, guitar, accordion, ukulele, biwa, guqin, violin, viola, castanets, spoons, washboard, banjo, mandolin, piano, harp, dan bao, harmonica, jaw harp, my voice (not very good yet), and others I may have forgotten to put in!

I am an amateur ethnomusicologist and luthier, so learning how to play new instruments and the culture behind them is my hobby, I will continue to learn more instruments throughout my life!

Oh, music and flute lessobs in school. Never got the minimum interest in it.

I can only play the doorbell part in "Pensylvanya 6-5000", still I've toyed on the hardware part building a few electronic instruments, mostly to be used on analog synth devices. (guilty friend lurking at this site too )
But also got creative with basic theremins and a personal laser harp project, both midi and 70' tech versions.
As for "classic luthier" I became curious to build a "zanfona" with some odd tweaks.
Technically is fine but up to this day I still hate the final version I did as a gift, sounds really worse compared with the test version I did with leftover materials. I'd likely set it on fire and start anew

and in any case, I am unable to get more than intuitive sound from *anything*

Viola (and by simple extension violin and cello), recorder, and piano. I'm semiprofessional on the viola and play in orchestras (I'm not a soloist). The others I just tinker with.

My father always told me I had Native American blood in me but after researching my ancestors I am actually German. So no. XD But I've always had a love for Native Americans.
