V.com weekend vote: How often do you play your backup instrument(s)?

Certain situations call for a "backup" instrument. A backup can be an old instrument that took a back seat when you got a nicer one, or it can be an instrument that you purchased or acquired expressly to be a "back-up." It can even be a different instrument - like a violinist having a backup that is a mandolin!

The most obvious use for a "backup" instrument is when your violin is in the shop for repair or upkeep. While many shops will loan you a violin (or viola, cello, etc.), it can be handy to have another instrument that feels familiar and comfortable to use.

But there are plenty of other occasions for using a backup instrument. Do you have a backup instrument? How did you acquire it? For what occasions do you use your backup instrument? Please participate in the vote and then tell us all about your experiences with backup instruments.
