Self-taught guitar, of course (did some coffeehouse work)
Self-taught ukulele (not very good but I can whack out a few songs.)
Self-taught kalimba (very very poor at it but can manage a song or three)
self-taught bodhran (Eh, I can keep a rhythm)
Spoons. I can play spoons (legit instrument, folks.)
Electronic autoharp (love my Suzuki!)
Regular autoharp
Dobro
And to add to the weirdness, I lead a small group of shanty singers. We're not great but we're unstoppable.
I mostly play by ear. I have an electronic keyboard but really can't play keyboards.
If you understand chord structure of guitar/strings, then you can translate that to keyboards with just a little instruction. Your fingers even go in the same place mostly (at least the left hand, if you play guitar right-handed).
