My favorites are guitar, drums, violin and the ocarina (sounds like a flute). I can play a little bit of guitar and own one. I have two ocarina's, one 6 hole alto C and a 12 hole alto C. The 12 hole is more difficult to play, much heavier and I just got it today so I'm VERY new at this little guy.

If I had to pick just one it would be guitar. No doubt about that. Yes, I can play it.
You listed more than one though, so I will too.

Piano - No can't really play it, but love it.
Bass guitar - Yes.
ukulele - Yes.
Mandolin - Don't really play it, but like it a lot.
Drums and percussion - limited.
Harmonica - Yes.
Harp - definitely do not play, but dig the sound
Various bowed strings (violin, viola, cello, etc.) - Do not play but like to hear them within pop music, not so much classical.

I think that pretty much covers it.

It's cool that you have some ocarinas The_boy. They have a nice sound.

If you're coordinated enough , you could do both at the same time. :D
I have seen guitarists playing bass drums while playing guitar. It's pretty cool.

Just search for "one man blues band" on youtube and you'll see some videos of guys playing guitar with their hands while playing bass drums and hi-hats, etc. with their feet at the same time.
I haven't ever seen someone do it with two bass drums, but it could be done.. I didn't mean while playing a whole set of drums.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUWbXbdVxSk&feature=related That guy even throws a harmonica into the mix with the guitar, drum, and cymbals.

YouTube - ‪MR OLZEN One Man Blues Band‬‏ That guy even throws a harmonica into the mix with the guitar, drum, and cymbals.
its awesome im a blues fan, but actually having two double bass drums gives you the freedom of following the guitar strums with your feet

niceguyJ, I hope you aren't too old, cos I'm posting too :)

I play piano (mom's idea) and drums (my idea). Played flute in school, but pretty awful now. :)

I would love to learn to play guitar and violin.

I can play "Mary had a little lamb" on a recorder!

I also have spent some time learning to play the drums. Unfortunately, I don't possess my own drum kit...
