Goodness, fascinating to read how musically versatile you are! Wonderful!I play several instruments and have worked as a musician off and on over the last 35 years or so. Now I'm in an "off" period until retirement.
Guitar (acoustic and electric), bass (upright and electric), banjo (bluegrass and clawhammer/frailing), mandolin...varying degrees of proficiency with those, though guitar is my primary instrument.
Keyboards...I have a hard time working the two hands together, so the only occasions I've ever done any keyboard parts have been in a recording setting, and I had to do the two hands separately.
Drums...I can manage a basic rock/pop beat and just about keep it going with a simple fill or two. I've felt pretty comfortable the very few times I've sat behind a kit, to the point that I could gladly buy some drums, but if I did that, I'd be looking for new living arrangements.
I also had a short six week course in playing bodhran, and I took bagpipe lessons for quite a while before a relocation ended that.
After I retire, I fully intend to pick up the accordion.
I can play tje organ and harpsichord, as they are closely related to piano.
But no other instrument so far.
I have a djembe drum at home, learned some basic strokes to accompany a friend's fitness group workout open air, years before Covid...that'd be fun to improve.
Have a wooden and a plastic block flute, intended to learn basics over Winter break, then earthquakes hit us and I was shattered with basic anxiety. But maybe summer break, or retirement
