Viola! (because I already do)
Then violin and cello, because I like string instruments.
If I had to pick up a wind instrument, it would be flute... then clarinet.
It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

Besides, playing piano, I already play violin and guitar.  That's good enough for me.   :)

Rubber band banjo with bagpipe attachment.

Maybe clarinet or organ. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Piano is almost a 2nd instrument for me now anyway.

Banjo is first.
