I play lots of little things on the piano that I learned by ear. Things like the Max Payne theme, a few Zelda songs, MGS2 theme, Mario music, Sailor's Hornpipe, and some other stuff.

Sadly only vocals for me, but i can find my way around the piano. Also, i can arrange SATB four part a cappella music.

@2stepz: hear banjo music? we need to paddle faster.

(I grew up in MO, so I know.)

I currently play the tuba :D oh yeah, anyone better?
Used to play trumpet, 6-7 years i think, then suddenly the band I'm in found itself without a tubaist (bassist?). So me and a friend transfered over from trumpet and became the backbone of the band.

I also play bass guitar pretty well, i play it in the local tensing choir, are a decent vocalist, I am in a band with some friends, and i do know how to play drums, but i get to do it in the breaks or when i manage to wrestle the drumsticks away from the drummer. I can also play some guitar, but it's not important...

i play the guitar a bit, but i sold my leccy a while ago and acoustic just doesn't do it for me, so i don't practice much anymore. plan to get back into it soon.
also dabble with the harmonica.
i mainly just sing these days. (and rock out on air guitar.)

p.s. penis totally counts.

I play the guitar both Acoustic and Electric and I mess around with keyboards from time to time.
This signature is mediocre.

Just vocals here, but I think it counts. It takes just as much skill, right? ^_^

Used to play piano, and my right hand is still decent with it, though I've lost my ability to read the bass clef. Which makes me sad.

I can play the Star Wars theme by ear, though, or at least a decent representation of it...

I have a theremin. Actually, I have several instruments but the theremin is the one I'm currently working on. It's a wonderful & unique instrument but I can't find any instructors locally so it doesn't feel like I'm making any progress when I practice. It's still incredible under the hands of a master.

Aside from the Musical Tesla Coil, this is the nerdiest instrument ever and I love it. :D

Played the trumpet when it music/band was compulsary, then returned to my non-musical self.

I wish I had the coordination (ie I don't, or haven't tried enough) to play guitar. Harmonica sounds badass too.

So yeah.... no instruments here.

I used to play the Piano and trumpet. As an aside I did play the Recorder which I don't count, I was able to play the Thunderbirds theme tune which I taught myself with no sheet music (Not bad for a seven year old).

I was fantastic on the clarinet in my younger days before my dad had to sell it. Now I'm just terrible on the bass guitar.

Theremins are not, surprisingly, horrifically expensive.

The Pacific Science Centre had one to play with by the Boeing IMAX theatre. Seriously fun!

Well, I'm a Guitar Hero in a Rock Band.

And I have a harmonica which I have tried to learn, but I'm not that good with real musical instruments.

This is gonna sound really stupid, but I'm gonna say it anyway. I started playing rock band when it came out, and their was about the drums that I just found Infatuating. So this summer I saved up enough to buy an electric drum kit, and have been practicing with them for an hour everyday for the last 2 months. Before anyone complains about me buying electric, I live in an apartment so I have to keep the noise down.
