If you could play another instrument what would it be?

Just in case you master guitar and get bored or something...what other instrument would you like to play? I suspect a few of you can already play piano? Any other multi-talented musicians among us?

I dig the sax myself. (Can't play it...just dig it)

The Tambourine. The riffs are a little difficult, but it would be soooooo worth it! :)

Without question it would have to be a piano, we bought one years ago in hopes that our daughter would learn (she didn't). I could pick out one handed (finger) tunes. All the great songs seem to have it in there somewhere, so it would be a natural compliment to any song.
I do plan to get a key board someday and that will have to do.
Great question Tony, it will interesting to see what else pops up, I never would have thought of a sax for myself, but somehow I could see you with one!

Bagpipes Fred!!?? Sound like a cat being strangled. OK if you hate cats I guess!

The only time I thought bagpipes sounded good was in this. Back when Bon was the man:

Piano, no question. I played for a couple of years and then we sold the piano for various reasons. Now I'm really wanting another one, even though I know it would distract me from my guitar-time.

Otherwise, harmonica. I even bought one and started to learn, but never made much progress (due entirely to my half-hearted effort!).

Mostly, though, I feel like I need to focus on guitar. I am someone who is easily distracted by the next "shiny" hobby, so the fact that I've stuck with guitar as long as I have is really something. I want to keep that up, and so am hesitant to take up with any new instruments!

Personally I'd choose the Triangle then maybe we could form a duet Bill.

Seriously, keyboard. I have one but limited to one finger easy tunes, it generally is a good place to place guitar books and other guitar related paraphernalia...
