I would say it counts.

I was a bass in the university choir back in the day, but never a soloist.

I enjoy playing the keyboard and composing electronic music (using Reason software). I was also once a renowned trombonist (in my own local area hehe).

I don't know what you Brits call it, but in America, it's BONER.
Ex: There's a world renowned boner in London.

I think you're teasing me :) I would never claim to be a renowned BONER (especially in capitals).

I didn't make that up! That's what we call 'em in marching band. They're boners and play 'bones.

How unfortunate! They must endure quite a lot of ridicule :p I think I'd rather heft a souzaphone around than be known as a boner!

I play guitar and keyboards but not well. I suppose I can come up with something listenable on a 4-string banjo, a bass and anything resembling a recorder but it's hardly "playing".

I can sing pretty well though.

Cool, I do similar stuff: Play trombone, and compose music by computer programs...well, actually I haven't composed anything in a really long time. But I could if I wanted to. :sadbanana:
And bass guitar as well, I've been playing that more than the 'bone, in recent times.

Yes, we call them "bones", too, but I make a point never to call myself or my colleagues "boners". I use the longer, more stilted terminology "trombone-player" or "trombonist", like you said.

I haven't been able to compose anything recently due to not having access to my equipment, but I'm looking forward to being creative in the near future!

I play...my voice. I was in chorus and ensembles for years, but I'd need a few weeks of warming-up to expand my range back to its previous state.

I can play a few songs on the guitar too. I practice intensively for one week out of every three months or so :D. When I'm 60 I'll be like Jimi. Seriously, we'll be the same guy. Everyone'll be like, "oh my god it's the ghost of Jimi!" But it won't be Jimi because it will be me.

Yes... there are so many unfortunate potential constructions along those lines. For example, "Boner-blowers" is probably not a term to win friends and influence people.

Hey man, the boners embraced it. That's what they call themselves. You've gotta expand your mind, man!

I'm pretty good with the guitar, bass guitar and piano. I play some drums as well. I'm currently thinking of trying to learn a more exotic instrument.
