I'm probably odd-man-out, since I'm primarily a classical musician (with jazz/big band thrown in when the opportunity arises)...
No pics, but I've played:
Piano - 25 years
Trombone - 20 years
Tuba/Euphonium - 17 years
Alto Horn - 12 years
and probably 8 or 10 others, but anything under about 10 years, I won't bother listing ;)

And yes, music performance was one of my majors in college- I used scholarships from that to pay for my CS degree ;)

Wow thats impressive! and nothing wrong with classical/jazz. I played in my high schools jazz band for a couple of years. I'm in no way a jazz (or classical) musician but I still got my admiration for those who play! Thats not easy stuff to do

My folks started me off in piano lessons when I was about 5 because "it was good for me". It was apparent shortly there-after that I had a good ear and perfect pitch. I picked up trombone in about 5th grade for the school band, and it has been my primary instrument ever since. But every now and then, I'd get bored and decide to learn a new instrument (brass mostly- they're all pretty similar).
Fortunately, my horn paid for my college education, so I can't complain.
Once I got to college, I had "methods classes" to deal with (really part of the education tract, but often encouraged for performance folks who have time for them), where the entire goal was to learn additional instruments, so in addition to my regular practicing & rehearsals, I had a semester of intense percussion training, a year of woodwinds (clarinet, oboe & bassoon), and a year of strings (violin, cello and bass). Fortunately, I tested out of the brass and piano classes and didn't have to take them ;)
It sounds like a pain in the ___, but those classes were actually a ton of fun. If only I weren't working on my other major at the same time...

I'm a former music major myself actually. Decided it wasn't for me and went on more to keep music as a hobby. I got into cars so that kinda took over lol. So I mostly play just for fun =)

Started guitar when I was 15 so I've only been playing about 6 years and haven't been really serious for a little over a year now. I have a hard time sitting down and practicing for hours at a time. I just noodle around or when I do practice I work on improving my techniques usually with different licks. I have a sweep picking exercise I do a lot (I use the chord progression from Pachebel's Canon in D) but otherwise I just do a lot of scale stuff...
