My main instrument's the piano. I'm finished RCM grade 10 (after having played for just about 10 years) and am in the London College program, but I'm not good enough and don't have the knack to freestyle around or create my own tunes, even after learning harmony and stuff like that.
Other than that, I used to play the drumset (and thus I still have retained some memory of different beats), as well as the violin (I know only a little on it now though, as it's been almost 7 years since I played). I used to play the recorder at school too, but that doesn't really count, haha.
Oh, and I can also make a weird bongo/popping noise by cupping my hands and clapping in front of my mouth (while directing all the air into my mouth), using different mouth shapes to get different notes. I can play some nifty songs like this- it makes up for my inability to whistle. Great party trick, it gets everyone trying to make popping noises. :P
I can also scream/squeak a very high C. Except the last time I spent a couple minutes trying to do that, I ended up with strained vocal cords and a strained jaw for two days. XD

I can play the Ukelele and the Kazoo. 
I wish I had an accordian or a banjo to start learning on.
As for singing, I can sing from Tenor to Bass and carry a tune quite nicely if I do say so myself, though today's popular songs seem to involve guys singing in a gray fuzzy area above what I can hit without warming up for twenty minutes.

I used to play the piano, but never practiced and after a while it just kind of died. When I started high school though I joined the school band(concert band) and started off by playing the clarinet. I got kind of bored iwth it and ended up switching to the bass clarinet and that's the main instrument I play now. For one unit we had to switch instruments and try playing something different so I played the baritone for a while. It's amazing how different it is playing various instruments though.

I sing.
I'm pretty good, but sometimes my nose stops working while I'm singing and then it sounds like I have a cold.

I guess I can sing okay. I guess it just depends on what I'm singing.
I can also bust rhymes pretty well, so long as the rhymes are provided.

I sing a little. I also play piano, drums, bass, and guitar, but not very much of any of it, heh.

I can play a bit of guitar but that was a not time ago. This thread reminded me that I still got a guitar at my mom house that I need to bring it back.

I play Piano and Clarinet, and sing.
I don't have perfect pitch, though I wish I do. I've got half-perfect pitch, I guess o.o
I've also been told I'm an excellent sight reader. Probably comes from being thrown into a higher level band than I should have been in - you learn to sightread fast.

Yeah. I'm pretty much untalented.

When I actually try, I've been told I have quite a good singing voice. Though I don't use it often.
I'd love to play acoustic guitar, or voilin, or even piano.

I wish I would have had the smarts as a kid to start playing an instrument such as the piano or the violin, oh well.
I still have a good singing voice though and I perform occasionally (solo/choir).

I play electric and acoustic guitar. My teacher says I'm exceptional.

I can sing, well I think. 
I really like to sing even if I'm not very good.
I would really like to learn to play the electric guitar, and the drums.

I like to sing. I'm not too good I think, but some of my friends want me to try to make it as a singer... I prefer to write songs, but I sing better when no one listens, you know?
I've also played Piano for... going into my 10th year now. And, I've taken Guitar lessons for 2 months now, and it was too slow, so when Mom refused to pay over the summer, I started teaching myself, and am pretty good, if I do say so myself.
