My girlfriend has three guitars. A Yamaha 12-string she bought on E-bay that sounds nice but has unpleasant action and probably needs a neck reset. A really cheap old 12-string with holes cut in it for some sort of pickup that is no longer present. No one has been able to identify the maker. It doesn't sound as nice as the Yamaha, but you can play the F chord successfully on it. A Yamaha classical.
I have only the Yamaha LS-400 that many of you have seen me with. It is my first guitar and I bought it having, naturally, no clue, but fortunately I've been happy with it. It cost a bit more than I was planning on spending at the time, but I do play it a lot so it was worth it. Its body is a bit on the smaller side, which works well for me because my body is a bit on the smaller side, too.
I have an Armstrong 104 student flute, purchased used back when I was first learning to play flute, as a child. I've been playing it quite a bit these days. It's not a great instrument, but it is fully functional. I've never actually played anything nicer, which might be a good thing due to the risk of then deciding that I really want an expensive instrument.
I also have a number of noisemakers and a didgeridoo that I made out of PVC drain pipe which I haven't played in ages.
