I love to make music but come from a sort of punk rock background. So as I list the following instruments, please note that I don't imply mastery, just basic competence.
The list from most experience to least:
Keys/Piano - Played in a band and use it for solo projects. It's also the only instrument I still play with any frequency. I can read sheet music but still depend on memorization to play well.
Guitar - Played in a band and used it for solo projects. My current guitar has a bad pickup and I have no idea when I'll get it fixed. Can only read tab.
Trombone - Started in junior high and eventually performed in the high school jazz band. I could read music extremely well but prefered improv. Unfortunately it's been at least ten years since I've picked up a trombone.
Tuba - This was my concert band and marching band instrument. I moved to this after a few years of concert trombone so that our band would have some bass (we were severely lacking). Same situation as trombone though, I used to be great but haven't touched this instrument in at least a decade.
So that's it. I dabble in a few other things but not enough to count them.
