I live with an avid musician who dabbles in music engineering.  so my house is full of instruments and recording equipment.

Totally jelly right now. All the options......

To be blunt, that's shitty! I got nothing to add to that other than a generic "you can get back up on that horse one day".   

I sing. I can't play an instrument, even though I have a guitar and a uke.

yep all the options like:
multiple guitars acoustic and electric, acoustic and electric bass, a ukulele, a mandolin, a quatro, drum kit and various other things.

Me singing

Poor Adelaide! Man I haven't seen that show in forever.

I also sing, but my voice is so high that I can only sing soprano, I can't belt, and my alto sounds like a little boy :\ I GUESS I'D MAKE A GOOD PETER PAN THOUGH. Also no vids because I am not that awesome.

Theoretically I can play piano too, and I can read sheet music to an extent. I have a guitar that my dad gave me (which I can't play because of arthritis) and I taught myself the basic chords on his Ukelele, but I'm not really good at it.

My dad is the real musical guy in my family, he's played guitar most of his life and used to have a band with his friends (they are actually thinking of getting back together now that a lot of them are retired or retiring...which would be fun), and he loves the uke I gave him a few years back.

I used to play trumpet and have sang in a few choirs!

Nowadays, I tend to sing to the shower walls or the steering wheel though.

I don't play any instruments, but I would consider myself somewhat of a vocalist. I will be majoring in music theory and composition soon in the fall.

For some experince, I considered writing a theme in the form of a tone poem. I love programmatic music, especially Dvorak's late tone poems after Kytice, a collection of Czech and Slavic folk tales.

I've read somewhere that Nobuo Uematsu likes to use influence from romantic composers including Tchaikovsky, who was a contemporary of Dvorak. This is a big part of why I always enjoy music from FF titles.

I used to play the cello. I still have one, but it's been a couple of years since I've really had space/time to play it, though I kind of miss it.

So hopefully, I can get started again at some point. It's still one of my favorite instruments :3

I played Drums, Bass and electric guitar between high school and college. Ended up settling on guitar and played small clubs during my college years.  Sadly, my Warlock is now collecting dust, I haven't touched it in years.

My job involves playing music daily - so I got several instruments under my belt, first and foremost a vocalist, but also play piano, guitar, ukelele, cello, trumpet, drum sets and African hand drums.

Man, there's quite the collection of musicians, amateur musicians and musicians-taking-a-siesta-from-music-ing here. To you siesta folk, go play~! I wish I had a wide array of instruments under my belt (or even played my main instrument well enough!). Soooo jealous!

Music moves the world man! My fiancee and I like to work together to create music. I mostly write lyrics though. She plays piano unlike anyone I've ever seen. Her grandpa bet her 100 dollars that she couldn't learn and play The Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin without sheet music. She was ten, and showed him, winning herself 100 dollars and muscle memory to play an unbelievable tune! She also has the prettiest voice I've ever heard, and insists on learning to play and sing Eyes on Me for me. Which, I can't even listen to her practice without beginning to cry... the feels...

Well, I often get sidetracked when I talk about her. >.<
I personally play Viola right now. After I get a new C string onto the family's cello, I'll be fooling with it as well. I love strings! Other than that, I can play bass guitar decently. I've played guitar and drums as well. In middle school I began band classes with Clarinet. <3 But switched to bass clarinet in high school. <33 Eventually switching to tenor sax and marching it one year. My other marching year I played the big 4th bass drum. I also sing! Not as good as my fiancee of course (she's had voice training), but she likes my voice, and that's good enough for me.

I play hand drums. Primarily the dumbek/darbuka. I have two of my own, and also have a wooden djembe, though it uses wood panels instead of being a clean carve. All my drums have synthetic heads.


I also play a bit of penny whistle/tin whistle/Irish whistle/whateveryouwannacallit, and can pull off some basic stuff on a 6-hole ocarina (which I learned before I even knew Zelda:OoT was a thing). I misplaced my ocarina forever ago, and my penny whistle is cracked, though they're cheap to replace.

Ah so much talent!  I do not play anything anymore due to multiple factors but, in the past I've played the Piano, Xylophone (And various other keyboard percussion) Quad Drums, Misc Aux percussion, Clarinet and.... the Flute!

Of course I never really got good at any of them but man I enjoyed my musical history and I'm always boring my friends with marching band stories and lamenting that I wasn't nearly good enough for DCI.

Any ways nowadays I just sing alone during the day and I have a piggy back dedicated to my Instrument fund. 

Piano and sax here but that dropped off after going to uni and not having access to the instruments, really want to take them back up.

There are a lot of orchestra instrument players on here lol. You guys should form a group and do FF covers. 

It's been a few years since I've picked up an instrument in earnest, but I used to play practically any stage-instrument sans drums. Back when I was living in Arkansas, outside of being in some bands of my own I'd fill in for a lot of the local screamo/post hardcore/metalcore bands in the area when they lost a guitarist or bassist or synthist. I ended up selling all of my instruments before I moved out to Arizona, though, so I've been a musician without any music to play for a while. And though it's not an instrument per se, I used to double as a scream vocalist during my show playing days.
