I play guitar, fiddle and piano. I really want to play more - will start looking into it.
Oh and I have a didgeridoo at home, but suck at it!

I play the violin! It's a great instrument. I encourage you to learn soon so you have longer to enjoy playing. I wish I'd learned to sight-read piano music when I was a child. My household had a nice piano, but I was focusing on clarinet and violin. The piano didn't appeal to me as much, so I never did more than make up my own little piano songs. I never even thought of asking for piano lessons, whereas by the time I was 7 I *knew* I wanted violin lessons. Now I wish I were able to read piano music rapidly. Luckily, I can read piano music well enough to play Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C major. Since I feel that's one of the most beautiful piano pieces, I don't fret too much about not being able to sight-read more than that!

And is violin fun? I mean it sounds nice, but it sounds like it's a lot of fun too. |

Maybe because I've played so long, when I play violin it feels just like an extention of my body, and so playing the violin is nice but I take it for granted. I like that you have to move your bow arm quite vigorously, sometimes with full-body motions. The sound you get matches the motion you make. There's a strong body-instrument connection. Now electric guitar -- I'd say THAT instrument is truly fun, more of a euphoria fun. Being able to make a tiny motion and create a huge sound is kind of a rush! I'd vote for electric guitar as "most fun instrument." I'd say second-most fun instrument is the cello. Third most fun instrument to play: drums. Fourth most fun: violin.
