Clarinet in the way back. I have played it a bit recently. We have a piano and guitar too, but I suck playing them.
 
Currently, a 1976 Fender Stratocaster. I am now 70, the photo below is me on stage in 1966, age 15 with my 1962 Fender Jazzmaster. Got PADI certified 35 years later.

I play sax in a couple of jazz bands and a jam band back home, and a jazz band here on Grand Cayman when I'm down a few months each year (except been here over a year since covid hit). Also tried to play the digeridoo - brought one back from Australia but never got the hang of it. Play some guitar and used to play 5-string banjo in a roots/old-time band, but gave that up a few years ago.

Here's a taste of the jam band at a music festival
Mostly Young Band

And here's one of one of the jazz bands
morningside ensemble
 
since @rhwestfall tagged me...

I play flute/clarinet/sax/bassoon professionally in various pit orchestras, symphony orchestras, wind ensembles etc. I play bagpipes professionally as well. I can play tuba and trombone at a high amateur level and maintain that for doing work with marching bands. It's a more expensive problem than scuba diving....

I have 9 clarinets, 3 saxes and 1 oboe all pro level horns. Thought that was an expensive habit. Just 1 pro bassoon tops that. Expensive problem indeed! Play the oboe well enough to do a line or two in a pit if needed but otherwise it collects dust.
 
I am impressed, well done. Tbone
Bassoon, they are expensive.
I have 12 Didgeridoo [ Yadaki and other names] all real ones, no "Byron Bay Hippie" rubbish.
one I have is [I think] one of the best in the world [in the key of D], been offered big money for it, I would sell all my diving gear before I sold it.
