Which instruments do you play, which instruments do you want to play, and which instruments did you used to play?
I used to play the violin, but when I was a kid I hated standing up for the entire song. xD So I switched to piano, because, well... you're sitting the entire time.
I guess I'm Turkish March level. Whichever level that is.
I really want to play the flute and I'm starting to learn the guitar... Or I started to. I have barely practiced. I know 4 chords. I suck.

I play the piano, but not nearly as well as Keyodie. =P I need to practice more/start going to lessons again. I miss it.
I also play the guitar, slightly better than Keyo! (LOL I know like.. five chords. =P) I also need to start up lessons again.
I want to play the ukulele and the lyre.

I used to play the violin, the piano, recorder (of course everyone learns to play that here..), marching fife (AKA B flat flute) and marching drums. Fife and the drums was when I was in air cadets. So obviously had to give up when I left although I do still have my fife somewhere. Violin had to stop having lessons and going to orchestra about 5 years ago now as it was to expensive. Piano. I actually starting having lessons after I gave up the violin: private lessons of course. But we had to sell our piano so I had to stop. I can also play the accordion a tiny little bit as Mum's been teaching me, but she hadn't got her accordion out of its case for over 2 years now. I want to start learning the violin again but I doubt I ever will because I can't afford the lessons and also it's going to cost around £200 up front to restore the full size violin we have. Anyhoo... so I want to learn to play the violin again, wouldn't mind starting up the piano again but that will be impossible as we don't have one any more Harp! That's another thing I want to learn to play

I've never been talented enough to play any instrument. I've tried almost everything I could, guitar, bass guitar, piano/keyboards, cello, double bass...even the Xylophone/Glockenspiel and I was epic fail at them all. I had to play an instrument to pass a certain level of music in High School, so my teacher set me down in front of a drum kit and off I went.
I fell completely in love with them. Sadly I no longer have my own kit, I had to give it away when my parents moved house as the new place was too small to accomodate it. I miss them and can be still caught out air drumming to songs when I think no-ones looking lmao

I've always preferred vocals, to be honest. I love to sing. But, I took piano lessons for about a year, and learned to play moderately well. I can't do chord music these days to save my life, but I can still play a melody line. I also learned played alto sax for a while, and I loved it. I was crushed when I had to give it up when we moved to a new town. I've had a guitar since I was five (which was then passed to Ammy, and still sits in the closet), but I never learned to play. I've toyed with drums, and other percussion instruments, but never really got into them, and I learned to play an organ at one point or another as well. Now, I'd be hard pressed to do more than pluck the melody line on a piano, and nothing much else. It's been years since I've practiced on any kind of instrument.

In 5th grade I randomly signed up for learning how to play clarinet, and I fell in love. I got pretty darn good at it, too, but a year or so ago...I just wasn't into it anymore. I still love the instrument, but I started getting into vocals, and now I'm sure I can sing better than I can play clarinet. (I haven't picked up the poor thing for a year now, anyways...)
I love singing, and I can sing anytime I want, because it's much more convenient to carry around vocal chords than it is a clarinet. XD
I want to learn piano, but alas, I can't afford that right now. I tried learning guitar, but I gave up. It hurt too much.

Haha yeah learning the guitar HURTS. And a bunch of people give up trying to learn the F chord.
I'm lucky because I have a piano that's been handed down through my dad's side and it's 200 years old. xD Steinway. Grand piano. It's pretty epic.

I sing and I play the flute, the piano, the recorder and the Irish tin-whistle. I'm self-taught on the latter three. I've been singing ever since I was a wee child. I've played the flute since I was 9, the piano since I was around 10 or 11, the recorder since I was 12 and the Irish tin-whistle since I was 20. Not a day goes by without me doing either or all of the above
