Favorite Musical Instrument(s)

[gromit]

My violin is my best instrument, and so also my favorite even though I humiliate it by playing it like a fiddle.

I looooooooove fiddle sound.

You probably can find your share of it in Boston's Irish pubs, yes?

Clavinet Clavinet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (substitute for electric guitars)
Fender Rhodes Rhodes piano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (electric piano)
Moog Moog synthesizer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (replacing orchestras)

These are the primary keyboards Stevie Wonder used on the first four albums where he had full creative control. He actually popularized them, and then they were used more widely in funk, disco and R&B.

I voted for Piano and Guitar.
I play both, amongst many other instruments. While neither of this is the most beautiful-sounding of instruments (not by a long way), I feel that both are incredibly versatile; much more so than any other instrument I can think of. Most musical styles can be played (to sound convincing) by someone skilled in either.

Irish fiddles!

Irish fiddles!

Not my normal mode of play, but I love hearing them too.

cello + violin
drums

The strings and the percussion rouse different parts of my brain + body and never the twain do meet. . . Almost as if two different persons were appreciating the types in turn.

These are some of my favorite intruments too, add acoustic guitar and flute. I especially like the funky clavinet sound used in funk and disco during the 1970's.

My favorite guitar sound/effect is the wah wah pedal that became popular in the late 1960's with artists like Cream and Jimi Hendrix using it alot.

anything but the saxophone and flute... but mostly the saxophone. every time a hear one i start crying because i feel so sorry for it because it just sounds so bad but doesn't even realize it.

 

[Queen Kat]

I'd like to learn how to play a harp. Not because of the sound, but just because the instrument is kinda hot.

 

[human101]

[PrometheusAndBob]
