I played trumpet and clarinet at one stage years ago, both for brief periods of time but I would like to be a virtuoso sax player in a jazz band. Also, I wouldn't mind learning the Didgeridoo, takes a long time to master though.

I'd love to be able to play the cello. Ahhh, how much that would rule.

I used to play the cello. Then I quit because I hated it. Now that I'm getting into classical music, I kinda wish I could still play.
I play the alto sax in the school band, I'm really good (compared to others).

I want to write some classical-style music, yet I don't play any instruments used in an orchestra.

I used to play trumpet.

I have bongos and a harmonica.

I've been playing trumpet for 7 years.

I can play tenor sax reasonably well. I don't own one, though.

That's the exact same situation as me.

Although I didn't quite because I hated it.
My teacher was an absolute bitch.

Though, Recently I have been looking to start it again.

Probably better than me. I was decent during Grades 6-8 getting grades on the mid 90's but in Gr. 9 I was getting mid 70's.

The organ is a keyboard instrument.
