I play the keyboard, in particular the Keychron K10 Pro
Trombone! I joined a couple of community bands and they are always something to look forward to
The smartest programmers I've known have also been good at math and music alongside code.

Because I am not of their caliber, I play no instruments.

guitar, bagpipes
Piano, also used to play violin
Used to play piano, can probably pick it up given a few months.
Clarinet! I go to community band rehearsal every week and perform with them
I have no current practice, but at times I have played the recorder, clarinet, piano, saxophone, electric guitar, electric bass, mandolin, and various synthesizers. If you tend more toward lumping than splitting in your definition of an instrument, you might add "DJ controller" to the list.
Piano (keyboard) and Guitar. (Western classical training + pop songs)

I have also learned an Indian keyboard instrument called Harmonium. (Hindustani classical training)

And I love trying out new instruments :)

clarinet, saxophone, flute, percussion
Yes, I play acoustic guitar, fingerstyle mostly. Have been playing for a few decades now.
Cello! In fact, a few years ago I quit my software job to study cello full time in a masters program.
