Do you own a musical instrument, but never learned to play?

I loved classical & some asian music which got me to purchase a flute! it took about a few months to finally quit and sold the thing. My next instrument is a harmonica that I purchased online, it plays great, it was easy to learn and play random music with but I never played a good song with it. I never sold it, it's still good. The last instrument that I own is an electric guitar, it's a behringer brand with amps. I struggled looking around for tutorials but never found the time to try them out. It was fun doing the strings though, making more random music (noise). Quite a few times I was thinking of selling it... but I often change my mind.. it's such a fine & fun instrument. I never learned a thing! :D

the instruments I currently have in my home that I do not truly know how to play are mountain dulcimer, organ, piano, guitar. Until recently I also had mandoline... which I could fake to play but not really know how. I do have a few violins, but have played the violin for 31 years

i had a keyboard, a electric and acoustic guitar, a electric and acoustic base guitar but never learned how to play. i know a few songs on the base but you cant play the base only, not like the guitar and the keyboard. i am a singer and would really love to learn to play this instruments but dont have the time to study.
