I'm a very talented whistler. My great-aunt, a very, very proper lady born in 1892, was always appalled by my whistling.
"My dear, a lady does not whistle!"

I could play drums back in high school. I was even in a couple of bands; The Jay Brothers and Spilt Milk.

Always a decorative Ukuele around our house that mom put out with other Hawaiian stuff.
I would tune it up and learned to play 'Little Grass Shack'.
She loved that song and I'd put on my best Bing Crosby voice and play it at inopportune moments.
It never failed to get a laugh from her.

I play the Clavinova (digital piano). Don't know how unusual my talent is but I am a composer and recording artist. My instrument is my muse. As soon as I start playing any of the (over 500) rhythms, no matter the genres, I'm immediately inspired to create a song. I can also draw and have done charcoal renderings. However, I'd venture to say my most unusual talent is always being able to find room in our mid sized refrigerator freezer when I've bought too much frozen stuff. 
My husband used to say...you'll never fit those in there and I'd say "Watch me".

No Ohioboy, it's a full sized piano with all the bells and whistles (literally). It has about 500 instrument "voices" in several categories and 500 or more rhythms including variations. My songs are recorded on the floppy disks you see there when they are inserted into the instrument's disk drive.

My Great Uncle brought me an accordion from Norway when I was a child, but it wasn't my thing!
But then there's the "knock knock" joke.
"Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Ole lady"
"Ole lady who?"
"Oh, I didn't know you could yodel!"

Drums, guitar, and piano (a little)
Not great at any of them, but passable enough to have been in a few bands in high school.

I can flex my biceps, and pectoral muscles to most any tune. Learned it from my uncle Joe back when. This has NOT garnered me any invitations to play in the band.

I played the French Horn from 3rd grade through 9th grade in a school band. I only gave it up because in high school they would not let you play in the band or orchestra if you were in sports. So, I can read music. Since I retired, I am learning to play a Classical Guitar, I really enjoy playing it...

Cracking my knuckles is about the best I can do. Most all of them crack on demand!
