I've been on records playing Drums, Bass, Piano/Synth, Mandolin, Banjo, Harmonica, Hitting various sundry things
Gigged as a guitarist/vocalist, drummer, bassist
Piano - have done proper concerts but also small scale local shows and stuff
Church organ - play every other week for a church, they've seemingly never noticed I'm not religious
Then I also try to play:
Guitar - have gigged but mostly home playing and recording for myself
Autoharp - have gigged this, there YouTube evidence!
Mandolin - only played at home
Bongo drums - random one that I picked up at High school and enjoyed
Lap steel
I would like to play:
Jazz clarinet
Double bass (but is too big)
Drums
I'm into a lot of music using drones and so have a couple of interesting 'drone boxes' - an electronic tambura and a small Buddha Machine - although they don't take much 'playing' skill.
Finally, I have a small balalaika. I've never gigged it but I do use it for recording occasionally, including on a recent Fretboard Composition Challenge.
[edit] I forgot to mention, I dabbled in sitar in the past but I sold that to fund the purchase of a Line6 DL4.

And it would appear the Guiro too as I was the only one who could play it on a session!
Cajon is the instrument I'd love to get under my belt.
Main instrument is guitar, mostly electric with some acoustic.
In order of declining competence, I also play, or at least dabble in...
Bass (borderline crap, but they don't have frets, so that's a decent excuse).
Keyboards, mostly piano and organ, bit of mono synth (pretty crap).
Harmonica (pretty crap, although I can bend some notes).
Tenor sax (crap).
Clarinet (very crap).
Flute (even more crap, but sounds less offensive than clarinet).
Violin (fucking awful - I won't even inflict on myself, never mind some other sucker).
I don't really take them seriously compared to guitar. I think I realised that the dedication required to get to a good standard is beyond me now (in terms of whether I can be arsed). I'm quite happy just diddling about, picking out a few tunes or improvising. I find it quite interesting to take on a new instrument, but with the background of years of experience in music, rather than starting as a new musician. It's also enjoyable trying to play parts that I've written on the computer, not for the purpose of recording them, but just to play the real instrument that the part was written for.
