O/T - What instrument do you play?

[njdunkin1]

Hey everyone!
I got the go-ahead from Leon and figured we could bring a fresh topic to the front page. I was curious to see if any board members here ended up playing something really cool or was in a band at one point or another.
Personally, I have been playing clarinet for a number of years. I find it to be a gentle instrument with good harmony and melody capabilities. In spite of this, I was getting hungry to try something else, so I picked up the bass guitar about a week ago! I have been playing every possible moment and my blisters feel great.
What instrument do you play?

Here's one of me in the recording studio a couple weeks ago (on bass):

What year is the Stratocaster? Looks like it is a pre-CBS head stock and has some age to it. Love the vintage Fenders!

Thanks! Good eye Prewar, it's actually a '57 reissue. It was one of the first AVRIs off the line at the Corona factory, I think the neck date is 7-10-86. The others (L-R) are a 1992 Gibson '67 Reissue SG/LP, a 2003 Martin OM-35, a 1971 Harmony Rebel, the strat, a Guild acoustic beater, a 1937 Gibson L-7, and then on the bottom, a 1911 Martin 000 Mandolin, a 1930s no-name tenor banjo, and a 2002 Martin DM. The seafoam green strat is one I made. I also just picked up a 2015 Martin CEO-7, which I absolutely love. The amps are a 1966 Fender Reverb and a 1964 Danelectro Centurion. I also have a '63 Ampeg Superreverb. I'm a sucker for small 60s combo amps.

Here's another pretty picture Yes, I have a problem.

Don't know about playing but I make noise with these. The one on the left was my first guitar. The pic was just before I sold it and had turned it back into a right handed model.

Played drums a lifetime ago. Haven't had the opportunity in years. Wonder how bad I'd be if I sat behind a kit again. My steering wheel sounds good though when I pretend to play when I'm driving. Maybe there's hope for a come back.
