Air guitar is about it.  10+ years ago when I worked at Guitar Center's corporate office one of the VPs lead a guitar class.  I bought a guitar and started learning, but fell behind due to an extensive travel schedule.  That's as far as I got.  Probably should sell/donate/give away the guitar at this point.

Guitar, Banjo, Piano, Violin... I still have a guitar in my closet, seriously neglected... I haven't played it for years.  I gave one of my guitars away to a colleague's daughter who was learning guitar.

I also have my father's clarinet in my closet... but I don't play clarinet, never have.

Clarinet, piano and guitar in my early days. All well enough to get by if I really have to, but practicing a song for proficiency would take me a long time. I don't play any of them now, though we own all three, and really don't care enough to even worry about it. The only reason I keep the piano around is for sentimental value and one day maybe to have my kids take lessons. -Kasey

I never learned to play but wanted for years to take piano lessons and play well. That is one reason I encouraged my son to play, take lessons and practice. He took lessons on many instruments. Now he plays trombone in the Navy band and says he loves doing it every day.

No, I do not play an instrument.

Those who have mastered an instrument have an asymmetrical way of thinking that is very conducive to inspired suggestions. At the master level they are creators and exceptionally competent imitators.

Life often takes us away from music. The finger tips turn to jelly, the stroke more hesitant, the satisfaction not full. 

The sage words from long ago to 'reutn to your first love' may have more dimension that first thought.

I know of a realtor who takes his guitar to Open Houses, and folks passing through seem to always comment and love it Nathan Gesner.  He gets to have fun, practice, and entertain, all at the same time.  I had taken piano lessons as a kiddo, as my Mom had musical ability (piano, organ, and violin), though that gene did not filter down to me, sad to say!  So, 'no', I do not play an instrument.

I used to play clarinet.  I also learned violin a bit (via my grandfather), but I only played in the orchestra for a year or two.  In middle school, we were required to play guitar...I think for maybe 6 weeks or something.
