I swear, nobody plays those fucking things anymore, but I still have mine somewhere.

No, not unusual. That was the first instrument I took lessons for...then later had to also take it for elementary school.

I play clarinet, but the only songs I can play on it are Lost Woods, Wind Waker, and the Habanera.

That's going to be depressing always being the lesser instrument.

lesser instrument?
in comparison to violins, yes, there are much much less violas, ALWAYS.
But in terms of playing quality, I've played 8 years, and i think i'm pretty damn good at viola for a 14 year old.
Also, the in-tune thing, it's harder for a smaller group to play in tune, because the bad people aren't as covered up, such as the violins.

lesser because violas almost never get the solos.

I play the pan flute, but only during the Samhian.

And also Kazoo, but only in the circus.

id like to add upright bass to my list of musical adventures.

I'd like to add Bassoon, horn, trumpet, euphonium, tuba, trombone, and piano.

Schooled!

no stringed instruments though, minus the guitar.

CONTRABASS CLARINET.

I play the skin flute.
