Anymore it's just guitar and linnstrument. I used to be a keyboard player and a bassist. I could knock out some covers fairly well on both. I tried forever to get some tabla (grid style finger drumming) but I finally gave up the ghost. I also tried harmonica and sucked badly. I know this doesn't count but I can sing and accompany myself on guitar.
I don't play the linnstrument nearly as much as I should but I fall in love with it every time I do.
What else do you play?

I'm a guitar player but I probably spend 90% of the time playing with synthesizers. I just love making weird sounds with them and a lot of pads/ambient type stuff.
About the only songs I used to be able to play are some simple Vangelis tunes like Hymn, Chariots of Fire, etc. but I've forgotten them already.

I’m primarily a bassist (over 40 years) and pianist/keyboardist/synthesist (about the same). I’m pretty much a complete hack on guitar (those little razor blade strings are painful), but I get by for recording simple strumming and melody lines. I played trumpet through high school and a little in college - I can still technically play one, but my embouchure has been toast for decades. I’m also a pretty good air drummer, but I like to mix in some body parts (e.g., thighs, chest, skull).

For the past half year, I've been using a DAW called Gridshift that has three different musical keyboards, and that is now the instrument I play most.

I can’t really claim to “play” any instrument. 
I used to be a decent bassist, and it is still what I play the best, but picking one up has become a rarity. I can fumble through a few basic chords on guitar when a track calls for it. I have a couple of other things around that I can’t play at all but occasionally enjoy messing around with anyway. And then there is the one instrument that I really do want lean how to play but know that is out of reach so I settle for just enjoying the exploration into the unknown whenever I pick it up.
I mostly into synths but I stink on keys and pads so I only play short simple chunks into a sequencer, straight up step sequence, or simply focus on sound design instead of composition.

Play the bass on my songs and as a guitarist that means following the guitar tracks 95% of the time. Synths for ambient stuff. Oh and I play stupid too sometimes when my wife want me to do some things I don’t want to do and she end up doing it her self.
