Do you play an instrument?

I'm not in a band, but I play a few instruments.
I play guitar.
I also have an acoustic, which I play a lot more since I don't have to set it up.
I also play euphonium, trumpet and tuba.

I've been playing the piano since I was 8 (24 now). Used to play acoustic but switched to a digital (Yamaha YDP-161)when I moved out of my parents' house. It's not quite like the real thing, but I'm sure the neighbours will appreciate not waking up to my playing at 1 AM 
I played guitar and bass for the past ten years now. Not quite the vituoso but can put down a nice groove or solo. My main guitar is a Gibson SG with P90's. Lovely tone and the guitar is amazing craftsmanship. Seriously, I can't even imagine how it managed to survive the abuse I've (accidentaly) given it and it still produces a lovely tone every single time.
(not my pic, but close enough save for the ugly-as-hell orange pickup switch)
As for my bass, it took me a few years to find one that really suited my style. I have played a Fender Jaguar for some years, but its plethora of tone options could really mess me up on stage, and I never really enjoyed the growl my neck pickup was giving me for some reason. In the end I just decided to go all-out, sell a couple of guitars I rarely used anymore, and got myself a Rickenbacker 4003.
This baby is an absolute dream. Its tone is amazing, the neck is just about my ideal size, and (this might be just me) I think it looks absolutely badass. The Rickenbacker might not be suited for every bassist, but I recommend checking this thing out if you're looking for a main bass and you've got a few bucks to spend.
PS. Apologies for bothering you with big, non-collapsable pictures but I just signed up and have to get the hang of this boards' html formatting.

I know how play guitar fairly well, and I know how to play chords on the piano.
I own one guitar, a Sigma 000MC-15E. It is a beauty that sounds awesome. Sorry I don't have a picture of my one.
Aside from that I play on brothers guitars, which because they are actual musicians means I get to play with some kick-ass guitars, amps, and pedals.

I play, well played, the sexiest instrument on the planet, a saxophone.
I really should pick it back up one of these days...

I have a pretty good accostic guitar and a crappy electric. I've been playing for 8 years now. I've gotten pretty good with rythm and I'm trying to learn how to solo. I can play other people's stuff really well, I just want to start coming up with some of my own.
Recently I've learned Santeria by Sublime and As My Guitar Slowly Weeps by The Beetles.
I'm also slowly learning piano. I'm working my way through Fur Elise. I'm hoping to eventually learn the piano section for Intermission by Panic at the Disco, and Lexington by Chiodos.

Wait for the piano part.
I feel like I can almost do the vocals too.

Representing the slide trombone! Well, actually, I'm in the process of learning right now. In the veeeeeeeery early processes, at that. Still, though, hopefully I'll be able to play something semi-decent at some point in my life.
I've also done a bit of piano lessons, but I'm absolutely horrendous at playing anything with both hands. This sucks because as much as I really want to learn, I just can not coordinate myself to be able to do it.

An instrument? As in singular?

I play guitar on a Nova 38" black and red student right now (only started in June), a black MYM electric cello, piano and ukulele.
On guitar, I play indie rock and chord based stuff, but lately I've been playing metal and hard rock.
Examples: For Whom The Bell Tolls and Master of Puppets by Metallica
Live for Life ~Ookamitachi-no-yoru~ by aimi
Run to the Hills, The Prisoner and Children of the Damned by Iron Maiden
On cello, I've been playing whatever I feel like. Lately it's Apocalyptica, transpositions of Lindsey Stirling's music and Tchaikovsky.
Piano is a mix of game music and jazz. I got to Grade 8 RCM but my skills have been slipping because I've been playing other instruments.
I just started playing ukulele this Christmas but I've already learned 15 chords and I can play lots of music.

I play guitar if you want to call picking the strings, misplacing fingers, and making noises that make my dog quake in fear playing...
Okay, I'm a bit too harsh on myself. I'm teaching myself to play, but my teacher is probably the laziest, most inexperienced guitar player ever. I can't play anything too complicated, but I'm (slowly) getting better.
At least I can outplay that jerk off at the party that always breaks out into Wonderwall.
Unfortunately I broke the 4th string on my guitar and can't get a replacement for a while. (Until I get a car that can travel reliably in cold weather, I can't change driving 50 miles just for a single string) I wish there was a Guitar Center closer to where I lived.

I play a little bit of guitar. I can do your basic 4-chord pop song no problem, but I can't play a solo to save my life. I mostly play folk-ish stuff, because I refuse to be that bastard who tries to hit on women by playing Wonderwall.
Well I played the trumpet for 11 years but my trumpet has been sitting in the cupboard gathering dust for about the last 3 years, I could definitely pick it up and start playing again if I wanted to, its just not exactly the coolest or most fun instrument around.
I also drum, though I'm pretty inexperienced at it, I don't have a drum kit at the moment either but I'm considering buying a good quality one and getting some practice in. I'm very interested in learning to double kick, since metal is mostly what I listen to.

Seeing as I'm a music education major, yes. I majored on the trombone but I play most of the instruments in a wind orchestra decently and also play the piano at a high level.
Kind of mandatory for teaching high school band.

I can play piano, bass and guitar as well as having some competence with Ableton Live. As for the guitars I use, a Guild M30 for acoustic and mostly a custom modified Telecaster for electric.
I have more gear than I care to mention.
Mostly I play one of these -
Through one of these -
My shit stands out.

In actuality, I do have a cheapy guitar under my bed that I used to practice on. Then a string broke and I never bothered replacing it.
