What do you think the best instrument is?

[soulcougher73]

Ive always enjoyed the sax.

 

[zinfamous]

I played the saxamophone for many years, so I'll go with that.

Overall, I think the piano is the most versatile, and simply most, uh..."useful" instrument.

 

[SSSnail]

I love the piano sound, but I have to give it to the violin. It is the instrument that can bring joy or sadness.

Wait, you didn't specified musical instrument in your title so I'm gonna have to go with Fleshlight.

 

[xanis]

I'd have to go with the trumpet. Awesome and versatile sound.

My second favorite/"best" would be the oud.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJYe4g_kUj4

 

[Hail The Brain Slug]

French Horn. /thread


No, I do not play it. I just find it amazing in a full orchestra.

 

[sdifox]

Pipe organ

So are you the phantom?

I use this to annoy the wife and kid

 

[40sTheme]

Guitar.
The most versatile instrument.

I'm still kicking myself for refusing to learn piano when my parents offered me to send me to lessons. I chose drums lesson that time Several years later though I ended up playing some brass and woodwinds.

I really enjoyed playing my alto sax and trombone from time to time now, but still when I take my son to piano lesson every week I'm itching to learn to play. In fact I really want to learn it's still possible I just might take piano lesson sometime in the future.

Drums are my favorite followed by the bagpipes.

See if you can keep your feet from moving to this one.

 

[Malak]

Does beatboxing count?

 

[Wingznut]

I'd give my left nut to be a gifted pianist. No other instrument can relay such a range of melodies and emotions.

 

[gorcorps]

Electronic keyboards can do a lot as well. I'd say that all could apply to piano/keyboard as well...if you count them as the same.

You can't do that with a keyboard. This is what I mean when I say versatile. You can do an absurd amount of things with a guitar that just can't be matched with much else.

Electric keyboards can do anything you want them to. You can program it to sound like a guitar if you want. I would say that makes the keyboard more versatile.

They don't have the human touch. Legato parts will always be somewhat synthetic, and forced.

Well in that aspect why don't we just say the computer is the best instrument then? With synth you can make any sound you want... But that's not an instrument IMO.

Ah, I understand. The guitar does have more ways to "play" it (in terms of producing sounds) than the piano. I've always been impressed by those who can use a bow to play the guitar.
