Flute-four years
Recorder- one year (actually it was two years, but it was elementary school music class, so we did the same thing both years; therefore I really only have one year of experience I guess)
Clarinet- a few notes I learned in like 5-10 minutes
Violin- honestly, I don't really play, but I played my friend's once before and it was fun
When I told my band director this year I wanted to play clarinet, he said he didn't really want to switch me from flute, but I told him I just wanted to learn a new instrument. So whenever I see someone with a clarinet, I ask them if they can give me a mini-lesson, and eventually I might be good enough to actually get lessons from my director. I also told him once I wanted to play saxophone, and he thought it was a good idea because they have similar fingerings. (Well, then he thought it was a good idea because I was a little sixth grader and our saxophones sucked ) I probably would've learned how, but the school doesn't have any altos (what I want to play), and my parents definitely aren't paying for one.

I know this is a pretty old topic, but I read through it and wanted to add to it.
Flute-8 years
Piccolo-4 years
Lever Harp (celtic harp): 2.5 years (I really like it and for a lever harpist I am really good, but I am better at flute when it comes to orchestral playing which is my favorite.)
I dabble in other instruments. Pennywhistle, native american flutes, piano, and anything I can get my hands on.
I write a lot of music as well. I arrange stuff for church (I mostly condense orchestral scores for a flute and another instrument duet.......all by ear, no visual assistance). I also like composing, and for having no training at all, I think I am okay.
So pretty much, I am crazy for music and can't decide what is my fave thing. It changes from day to day, but I really like flute/picc/harp the best (in various orders of preference)
