*ahem*
I have lessons on
Violin (also play electric but I guess that doesn't count)
Piano (ditto)
Singing
I used to have lessons on
French Horn (my teacher disappeared and I can't find another one, but I still play it on a regular basis)
I am totally self-taught on
Viola
Recorders (both C and F types)
Organ
Guitar (and bass guitar)
I can vaguely play these ones because my friends have taught me how... by that I mean that I could learn a piece if I worked on it for hours on end!!
Flute (very badly, that's why it's not in my signature)
Piccolo (ditto)
Indian flute (ditto)
Clarinet (ditto)
Trumpet (ditto)
Drums (ditto)
Nothing is impossible. (There ARE many instruments that I just CANNOT get a sound out of... just so you know...)

It's double trouble!
I play piano and clarinet and used to play the recorder as a school instrument but I don't anymore.

I have lessons on the piano and violin from friends at university who are learning how to be teachers

I also play flute oboe and clarinet in orchestras (clarinet is my first instrument) but can't really afford lessons (what would the student loan company say!) I mess around a little on acoustic guitar (classical) , and I sing in choirs when I have the time. When I got to grade 8 clarinet my teacher advised me against taking music more seriously

so I began to expand instead.
I bet I have a bigger toy than anyone else, because I ring church bells too!

I used to have clarinet lessons hundreds of years ago (well, it seems that long ago!). I taught myself the recorder and am now learning the flute.

I have five sizes of recorder (sopranino, descant, treble, tenor, and bass) but there are two others (C bass and great bass in F) that I have played and one (garklein, a C recorder half the size of the descant) that I haven't. I think it's fair to count them if you have played them. After all, some people would be unable to play the larger sizes because their fingers would not stretch. Incidentally, someone posted that they would like to play tenor but could not cover the holes. My Roessler "knicktenor" has keys that make the stretch very convenient: probably easier than some trebles.

I agree... I find my bass very difficult to play - I've never tried a Great Bass, contrabass or subcontrabass recorder, because I know I wouldn't be able to play them because my hands are so tiny!!
I own the recorders from sopranino to bass... I've never played a Garklein but I plan to get one soon... maybe for Christmas!

My main two instruments that I play are the Piano and Oboe.
I do though double up on the cor anglais now and again.
I have played the organ a few times now. I have played for weddings, funerals and some church services as well.
