Personally I play
Guitar (acoustic and electric),
Banjo
Bodhrán ( i doubt not one of you know what that is)
Tin whistle
and..
Uilleann pipes(Master/Full set) - again I doubt any of you would have an idea what that is, but by far one of the most difficult instruments on the planet, takes approx 10 years to learn to use the masterset properly, but its worth it for the range.
Uilleann pipes for sale
Will give you a brief idea on how complicated and detailed they are. Probably the most common and mainstream song you heard the Uilleann pipes being played is the Braveheart theme.
Braveheart Soundtrack
No video, just the tune.
As for the future, I want to get into playing the electric violin, will probably start later this year. Those Japanese people are damn good power violin players, once I learn that I think I'd be content music skillz wise.

I don't want to sound like an asshole but it's only a half-decent, budget keyboard.
Sure, if you're just playing piano sounds and the odd orchestral/synthetic sound here and there and you're not professional it'd probably serve you well (as most Yamaha boards do), but the Motif XS8 is infinitely better (though 20-25 times more expensive, literally).
Okay, I kinda did want to sound like an asshole.

I think that I had the keyboard of Cave, it was a Yamaha PSR-E [Don't remember the numbers].
I used to play it for 1 year, then I joined a band and started playing guitar mostly.
That is a nice keyboard, not the top such as KORG ones, but it's good to learn with and to make some lives too

Exactly, unless I become some master I plan to stick to my good ol' keyboard. It serves well.
Didn't have £2,900, also it was bought a long time ago.

Yeah exactly.
The Motif XS would be a waste of money if you're not using it for many of the functions it offers (and at the moment I haven't nearly justified my money's worth, though in time that'll definitely happen).
Either way it's an '07 board and offers a good enough spectrum of possibilities.
