Do you play any...?

I guess this is now the authorized "What Musical Instrument(s) Do You Play" thread.

Here goes --

Steel string acoustic guitar. Definitely the instrument where I got chops. I have several axes. All good quality. I'm a finger-picking fool... A pretty fair Bluegrass flat picker, as well.

Electric guitar. Fifteen years ago I'd be screaming out Clapton licks. I also did my share of boing-de-boing Rockabilly and angry Punk Rock down-stroking..

Violin/Fiddle. Three of them. I work like crazy on the beasts. Am I beginning to get good? Some say yes. Some say no.

Piano. A lovely old Mason-Hamlin upright in a room off the garage. I was a pretty good rock/jazz/classical player until the fiddle entered my universe and led me astray.

My Dad had a Hammond C3 with Leslie. I took lessons in grammar school and got to a rudimentary William Tell Overture (Lone Ranger theme).

Then gave up. I was just not able to keep playing after I hit a wrong note.

Played the acoustic guitar. Not well.

Played the cornet. Pretty well.

All in the past...

 I don’t play any instruments.    I’ve tried to teach myself guitar a couple times. I just didn’t have the dexterity.   I’m about 60,and at this point ,my hands are shot. Some mornings it’s a bit of a struggle to button my shirt.  However,I absolutely love music,and the best reproduction I can afford. 

Guitar and piano for me learned as a kid we are a musical family and it is a real joy.  I highly recommend parents get their children into musical education music lessons or being part of the school band.
