I have just started the cello, but I love the violin. My aunt and her son play the violin, while my other aunt plays the viola.

My first instrument's the piano, then bought a violin last Sunday, and just like Phatic, I'm loving it

I am gobsmacked by the fact that the results suggest that there are more viola players than cellos.

Oboe is my primary instrument, alto recorder the second and one time I managed to play a short tune on a viola I found in my basement!

Piano is my great and only love. (But I tend to have recurrent affairs with violin too).
I had to stop studying violin, I'm not playing violin anymore indeed, as University is getting heavier.

Same, because solo/concert music for cello far exceeds that for viola. Both are nice instruments. It could also be that the cello is less portable so if you join an orchestra a car is also useful - not as difficult to transport as a double bass but almost.
Could also be that the amount of practice the cello takes, fewer players have time for the internet! |

Ugh. Why on earth are there so many violinists; most should switch to viola or cello; they need more people...

I play guitar, piano/keyboard somewhat, drums, and bass (electric). Guitar is my main instrument. I also sing
I will probably start playing piano more seriously (I do not own one), or basically anything else that gets thrown my way.

That's hard for me to answer.. in terms of stringed instruments violin is my main instrument, and probably is for everything I play, but I also spend quite a bit of time on piano.

I play guitar and own two of them. But my great passion is the cello. No money though...
