Got a violin today, marking the... 6th instrument I will put effort into learning. Prior has been: Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Tenor Sax, Guitar (own an electric, also tried father's acoustic for one song attempt), Piano, and now this.

Ah! I forgot to fully separate piano to keyboards, which leaves off stuff like organ... Did you know accordions count as keyboards? I didn't.

Piano
Viola

Were the ones I actually practiced. But I also played some of my older sister's instruments just to try them, so like...Harp, Cello. Pretty sure I've used a Violin at some point (I almost certainly have touched a Violin at some point; basically a Viola, right?) Also learned a Recorder (basically a woodwind for kids). Did some practicing and research on DJ turn tables, beat matching for mashups. I've touched a guitar, but I don't think that counts.

Piano and saxophone, mainly. Also played clarinet and flute for a year each before picking up the sax.

Viola and Violin have about the same difference as a piccolo and a flute. Just size and minor difference in octaves.

i played saxophone from elementary through high school. my senior year i tried bassoon a bit, then after high school i tried piano and guitar a bit. not enough that i'd say i truly learned how to play anything but sax.
Grats to BKSheikah , a guru ahead of his time.

Played saxophone (all of the main 4 types) for 10 years. Also have technically played clarinet though only for one song which we never ended up perturbing. (There is a lot of carry-over between the two instruments)
Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00 , this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment!

Tried to learn guitar a bunch of times, failed.
I can play piano

I also got an instrument today, a melodica (which is basically a piano but you blow in it to produce sound kind of like a harmonica or something)

With a somewhat loose definition, Trombone, recorder, ocarina. With an even looser definition, harmonica.

But I will learn the flute!

Wrong

You should've gotten a cello, better instrument to pick up.

"Learned" is being generous, but I did try to learn a few instruments.

"Try" is being generous, because I half assed it and didn't really practice.

Well, piano is a keyboard anyway.

I took guitar lessons for 4 years when I was a teenager. It was fun but I was never very good, probably because the kind of music I wanted to play doesn't really involve being very good.

I had a piano in my house my entire life and never learned it.
Bought a drum set about 4 years ago. After I nearly broke my back playing on the wrong chair I have never gone back to it.

More brass players than woodwind players? Oh, wait, almost everyone here is male, so that makes sense!. Sad how few pick strings... but the typical 6th/7th grader wants to play LOUD music! If beginning electric guitar was an option for a music ensemble without limitations on enrollment....

I played trumpet for a couple years in elementary school. Then we moved to an apartment and I stopped.


Tragic. I'm lucky my apartment neighbors tolerate my playing, though I don't play my trumpet too late of course.

I also learned piano, at least enough to play a moderately difficult piece with some practice. Again, you need neighbors that tolerate it... too bad I don't have a usable piano anymore, and there's no room for the electronic keyboard I had....
Time to throw a complicated party for the mighty prophet and seer BKSheikah !

Trombone from 5th grade through high school. I was never all that good, but it was fun.

My elementary school only had band, no strings. I walked in having no idea what I wanted to play. The director assigned me to trombone because there was only one other guy who was doing trombone. But it worked out because 6th/7th grade me definitely liked playing LOUD music.
another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high
