I play the tombak - probably nobody here has heard of it. It's the main percussion instrument of Persian classical music.
Music major, classical guitar minor, ended up as an audio/mixing engineer & video editor.

I can play a few instrumens at a neophyte level bass,drums, and play the keyboard more so.
but them I can weld a hell of a lot better than I can play and I dont consider my self a welder ether, because I dont spend 10+ hrs a week doing nor have I ever made money doing it.

According to the OP, the currently used definition of musician as pertaining to this particular thread does not necessitate many hours a week, or professional level skills......
By these standards, I am a musician. But, I have a more, shall we say, "liberal" approach to it. I think the line is pro/non-pro. A pro gets paid. I know several musicians who don't get paid, but can play better than some "pro"s.
IMVHO: If you can create music, and you enjoy, then you are a musician in my book.
If you produce any array of tones, beats and/or rhythms, then you are a musician...
This is my word as OP. And as such is beyond contestation...
jk. I'm really enjoying this thread
