I'm a music major attending the U.S. Armed Forces School of Music this year.
My main two most proficient instruments are piano and clarinet.
Other instruments that I have been qualified in the 249th Army Band unit include saxophone (soprano, alto, tenor), mallet percussion (xylo, marimba, vibes, glock, etc. in that family), battery percussion (snare, toms, bass drum, triangle, tamb etc.), African and Ethnic percussion (djembe, shiko), violin, middle range valved brass (valved trombone, baritone, euphonium, french horn, mellophone), and bassoon
My secondary instruments awaiting audition certification are guitar (elect., acoust, tenor, and bass), ukulele (I don't think the Army recognizes this as a category), and erhu.
Common instruments that I know how to play but can't play well include tuba, slide trombone, bari sax, oboe, flute/picc, and trumpet.

Wow you can play just about anything. I'm sorta jelous
Bassoon is awesome! what brand do you own/play on? and what reeds do you use? (I make my own reeds lol, I could sell you a ton if you want for a good price)

Don't be jealous, it's extremely hard to keep it up, about half of them i still know how to play well, but the muscle memory is escaping me. Harp and cello are the ones im insane at though.

I actually have a ton from my teacher, they're in a box on my desk, but i haven't been playing that much and i have to return the Fox back to the orchestra i played in T_T so sad i know
In general keeping up that many instruments is hell, i wouldn't recommend it to anyone. pick a couple that you're really good at and excel
