When I was signed up for the union X years ago, I put on the form that I played violin, guitar, and mandolin. I actually got a call for a job that required one person to play all three instruments, for a show that came into town. Now, I was pretty sure that my guitar technique would not be adequate for that kind of gig, and I turned it down. The union rep who called tried really, really hard to get me to take the gig because I was the only person registered with this particular combination. It didn't matter whether I was any good on all three instruments, just that I was the only one on the list who fit. I don't know who they ended up using. (And I never, ever, got another call.)
