Well, I wouldn't consider myself a buff, but I do dabble. I've taken a few musical theory/history classes (back when I thought I'd be a music major), so I know a fair bit.
You should totally pick up the clarinet though! You can get a decent student setup with a mouthpiece for $200 or so. It's not the most glamorous instrument to admit you play, though. Most of the reactions I get when I say I play clarinet are "Oh, like Squidward?" I would like to imagine I can play at least a little better than Squidward.
