I played the flute for 8 years but have not picked it up to play in *gasp* 12 years. The good thing is for some reason the skill never leaves but it would take a few lessons to get back up to par. My hubby played the trumpet for 6 years and even made 1st trumpet and was in Jazz band in HS. But like me he did not keep going thru college and now it sits gathering dust.
