Other instruments?

I'm just intrigued as to how many of you play other instruments other than bass. Lets put our modesty aside for a minute and just list the instruments which we can play. I'll get the ball rolling.

Bass (double and electric)
Guitar
Piano
I can sing a little bit. But can't we all.

Pedal Steel Guitar; can sing, but refrain from doing so out of respect to my colleagues.

I'm making a semi-serious effort and learning jazz piano. Just running through a bunch of voicings enough that I can record a sequencer track to practice against. I'm working through some drumming rhythms with my teacher ATM too.

I've been spending a fair amount of time trying to master the Fipple Flute that my old friend, Jack Sheldon, presented me with after having heard my play the bass.

I've got a fairly good list going. Other than DB:

bass guitar, piano, guitar, trombone, and I'm a decent drummer.

Man, it doesn't take much to intrigue you, does it?
Right on!

bass (double and electric)
sax (played much less since becoming proficient at bass, had a blast playing 2nd tenor in a Tower of Power cover band about 20 yrs ago until I ended up replacing the bass player in that band.)
clarinet (my first instrument, private lessons, school concerts, the whole 9 yds. Retired this instrument sometime after jr. college)
bassoon (loved playing this instrument only during high school and j.c.)
flute, not really a double, but I have fun sight-reading the lower register parts of flute duets with my daughter (a really fine budding flautist).

I try to focus on the bass nowadays. In the past I played guitar, harmonica, recorder, French horn, piano and sang.
