In addition to whistle I play flute, recorder, quena, South American panpipes (sikus), and kaval. I tried harmonica, learned a few simple tunes, but didn't stuck with it.

Guitar
Bass guitar
Bodhran
Mandolin (early days, but getting on ok)
mouthorgan (harmonica if you prefer)
Keyboards

I'd love to have a go at tenor banjo and perhaps bazouki, but neither time nor money really permit...

Let's see, in the order in which I started learning them:

Clarinet
Harmonica
Sax
Basoon
Flute (the nickel-plated student model kind)
Guitar
Bodhran
[Tinwhistle]
Bones
Dumbek
Flute (simple system Irish)

I can't decide what to try next, Mandolin or some kind of Dulcimer.
Probably whatever is easiest to sneak into the house w/o my wife seeing :)
I think I may have musical A.D.D., I can't stick with one instrument for long.
I tend to hop around a lot.

Actually when I said "larynx" I was talking about singing. Seems to have taken on a whole new meaning - and I can't imagine how considering the serious tone of most of my posts. :lol:

Ok, seriously. I played both trumpet and guitar long ago in the misty past. It's been so long I've forgotten how to pucker for a mouthpiece, and I can hardly pick my nose let alone a guitar string. :D

hmmm... In chronological order of learning...

Marimba (since old enough to see the tops of the bars)
Recorder (tenor & sop. mostly sight reading/accomp. of church music)
Trombone (my principle-- classical, symphonic, quintet, baroque; jazz-swing, dixie, bebop; rock--tower of power type stuff)
Singing (lots of styles)
Fountain pen? (composition counts as a music creation, right?)
Piano (mostly for composition of original works)
Guitar (mostly for composition; jazz; rock; some classical; some ITM)
Recording console (a little stretch, but doing it well is a lot like playing an instrument)
Native American Flute (doodling)
Shakuhachi (noodling)
Whistle (ITM)
Low Whistle (ITM-- the grip and air control is different enough to count separately I think)
Uilleann Pipes (ITM, some tower of power stuff... just kidding :lol: )
Irish Flute (ITM)
Bodhran (ITM)
Bones (just ITM so far, but I know would work well with bluegrass and dixie/trad jazz)
Mandolin (ITM; some bluegrass)
Harmonica (blues)
Melodica (mostly for adding a 'free-reed' sound to some compositions don't have a squeezebox yet)

Been scoping Tenor Banjos... and squeezeboxes... oh, and an autoharp.(somebody stop me.. please...)
There's and old Irish saying that says pretty much anything you want it to.
