Since the clause "even if not very well" was included...

I can play basic rhythm guitar--chords, some fingerpicking. Anything fancier than that starts to get out of my range. It's one of those things that I'd be better at if I invested more time in it, but I do all I want to do, so... yeah. In addition to the guitar(s), I also have a bass, a banjo and a mandolin that I just play around with at my leisure.

I really want to take piano lessons--I can play a few simple things by ear and almost anything one-handed but that's something I actually would like to become better at.

I played trombone for four years in school and I still break it out once in a while. I also took lessons on the oboe and flute (although I never quite got the hang of the flute). On top of that I've got a trumpet and a clarinet and I had a(n alto) saxophone for a while but the person I borrowed it from took it back. Wind (particularly brass) instruments are where I shine, I think--they're the most fun for me and I seem to take to them the best/easiest.

I have a violin. I'm terrible at it. Although I probably could/will get free lessons if I move in with a friend of mine this summer.

I dunno... I really want some bagpipes. And a cello. And a bassoon. And a harp. I just like playing with things that make sound.
