Oh man I stopped playing saxophone when I was about 12 because my only opportunities to play were in jazz bands and I hated it.

Steve Reich has made me appreciate marimbas, though I still don't think they have a wide application beyond repetitive stuff like his compositions.

All time favorite is probably the hammered dulcimer, I'd kill for one.
