Well I've just recently started ful-filling a dream of mine to learn a bagpipe. It used to be for many years I wanted to learn the highland pipes, untill about 3 years ago or so, I started getting into Irish trad music, and first heard the amazing sound of the uilleann pipes... Since I had been playing Irish trad tunes on the tin whistle for 3 years, I figured it would make most sense to learn the uilleann pipes, and honestly, I've no regrets. Maybe down the road I'll still take up the highland pipes, although recently I'm starting to fall for the mellow sound of the smallpipes as well. I guess my answer would be to master the uilleann pipes... I've got roughly 20 years and 7 months

If time was no object, I might be competent at playing the instruments I already own (whistle, fiddle, guitar, harmonica). The only thing I'd consider adding to the list is my dad's custom mandolin, but there's not enough money in the universe to get him to part with it.

Almost exactly the same, except I have a mountain dulcimer as well. It's my Mum's old fiddle I'd love to learn to play. It's there, in the corner of the room. It's not time that prevents me - it's the rest of the family.
Actually, I wouldn't mind one of those saxophone things of Redwolf's.

Friend of mine built a pipe organ in his rowhouse in Kensington ( not the London one) once upon a time, but then he moved onto a boat + couldnt take it with him... tough sell that house anyway;
Actually, my drean instruments are 3 different kinds of bagpipes, would be kind of tough (but completely interesting ) to try to hook them all up into ONE super-quasi sei palmi bohemian zampbock de court...nah.
