goals and no time!

 ???Okay guys...so, I've been playing Piano for a long time now and I mean I LOVE it, my cheap hand down Kimball piano will always be wtih me forever. But I have a problem. I become a senior next year, as in 2013. And, I want to play the Harp, guitar, violin, and the drums. I just need help diciding which one.
I'm leaning towards the harp or an acoustic guitar...any suggestions or disagreements?

I'd go with the guitar and the drums... The harp is a really complicated instrument - its in Cb major and the pedals are pretty confusing. String instruments like the violin are pretty hard to learn when you are a pianist because we usually find the tuning quite hard. I'm a self taught guitarist and drummer, and I'd say that I'm pretty good and could probably play in public - they aren't as hard.

Hope that helps
Natalya

Speaking as a fluent multi instrumentalist -

guitar, everytime.

not just because its awesome as an instrument, but also because you will get to be in bands with it (more so than with the harp for example) and its more easily transported than the drums.

It also fits into a great variety of genres, and its skills are transferable to other stringed instruments (such as bass, banjo etc.) and with a bit of work orchestral stringed instruments, though that is certainly more difficult a tranfer than the more guitar like stringed gizzmos.
