Hornist here, currently playing regularly with two community orchestras.
Karaoke star on the side, and dabble in guitar and bass.
I like the way our ensemble is shaping up.

I have a few guitars, and I play around on them, but I don't think any one could accuse me of "playing" them well. No formal training or music classes but a lot of song books.

Guitar. Harmonica.
Neither very well, but if enthusiasm counts... still not very well.

Piano and I sing too.

Should've asked which instruments do you play … well.
LOL

Tenor Sax, Clarinet, Flute... I play these well enough that I could perform in public, but not as well as I did as a teenager when I was playing them every day for a couple of hours...
.
Ukulele, and Banjo just well enough to sing along with for fun...

Piano lessons as a kid gave me enough skill to plunk out a tune but not a lot more. Sang in choirs from time as a kid through early adult but got a way from that. Tunes are recognizable on soprano and alto recorder and also the bowed psaltry.
Pretty much moved from being a "producer" of music to a "consumer" of music as a teacher of Scottish and English country dance.

Drums. Started in 5th grade, played in all the school bands (marching, concert, dance) right up through high school, then was in the Navy Drum & Bugle Corps during boot camp. Began paid gigs in 8th grade and have never stopped. Studied with some of my my musical heroes for a while at Musicians Institute in Hollyweird back in '82-83. (That was awesome!) All I ever wanted to be (mainly) was a professional drummer. I pulled it off well for a long time but later on, life intervened, and I fell into other things.
I still gig regularly, sometimes 3-4 times a week, but lately just weekend nights. And I teach, as I have off and on throughout my life. I can only dabble at guitar -- nothing for public consumption. I studied piano for a year and loved it; alas, simply ran out of time.
As to Joan Jett, referenced in another thread, she's still got it. Met her on the USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7), under way to NYC in 2009. She flew out to entertain the crew. I was aboard as an officer with US Naval Sea Cadets. Great USO show that day.
Okay, all done rambling. :-)

Without consumers of music there wouldn't be much point to producing it.
