Started on Viola when i was 8.

Switched to Cello at 9, and played that 'till i was 15.

Started Clarinet at 10, and still play off and on.

Started Oboe at 13, and still play off and on.

Started Bass at 15, and that's my main instrument by a large margin.

The only instrument I've picked up since bass is guitar. I bought my first guitar when i was 22.
