Favourite Musical Instruments?

I am curious to know what everyone's favourite musical instrument is.
As the title may suggest...
*crickets chirp*

My beard matted into my pubic hair to make a harp...

wow well that certainly is... disgusting...

To listen to..it's all about brass baby!

i see what you mean yeah =]

Mark Ronson's album is a perfect example.

oh my godddd i'm in love with mark ronsons music
i think i may marry it

incidently you have hella good taste in musiccc

Marry it haha. Yea Mark is a great producer, he managed to make an album of covers sounds like 100% original tracks. My taste in music is really varied, I don't listen for genre, I go with well written and well produced music.

i always loved the idea of making an album with weird instruments or just really out of context arrangements..... like punk rock with sitars and hammond organs.... folk balladry with moog synths.... saxophone and glockenspiel grunge.... i am an experimental kinda guy

Incidentally... my fave sounding instrument is probably..... well the best example of it anyway.... on 'hit me with your rhythm stick' by ian dury and the blockheads when the saxophonist plays two saxes at the same time as a solo... sounds immense... thi first heard itdone by frank zappa and the mothers of invention way back when.... but the blockheads style is a funkier one... it sounds like a squealing pig with the blues...

i play flute and guitar...

guitar is best

but i would love to play sax.

i hate guitarists... i am one myself... but generally... i hate them

Mark Ronson's album is a perfect example

Of playing the pubic harp... yes...

trombone is the coolest

hmmm. chellos/double basses are cool

and the guy from yellowcard has a purple violin, now thats coool

mmm i love double bass...
that's probably my favourite =]
i like sax aswell

i agree double bass is pretty damned amazing

sadie has an electric double bass...which she will be using eventually

Indeed.... i did see her with it in her picture... look forward to seeing it and hearing it onstage sometime soon

sadie isn't allowed to be better than me at bass and then have a double bass
how is that fair in any part of the world?

lol just kidding
ish.



incidently, today i picked a cello up at school and i thought "well, i play bass and this has 4 strings... so i should be able to play itttt" ... the music teacher was going on about something to do with something being different, but i wouldn't have it, i was saying "BLAHBLAHBLAH, why do i care, there are 4 strings, so i can do it."
i can now play twinkle twinkle little star on cello. taught myself. booyah.

Wicked! (flicks fingers in a very 'street' way)

Cello is bloody immense..... i love it on the unplugged nirvana show... very dramatic indeed

ahh cellos

this band are awesome.
listen to guidance from colour, it has cello, the guy swaps between cello and bass in the song lol.

hmmmm.... but cellos are still good.... i'd love to get an electric cello and put it through a big muff ditortion pedal and an electric mistress flanger and send it through a 1000 watt marshall head attached to two enormous rotating leslie-speakers, one either side of the stage.... and get ladysmith black mambazo to freestyle some of their nauseating dronal harmony over the top of a G-mixolydian modal scale.... accompanied by dizzee rascal squeezing cartons of um-bongo in a vice...... it would sound well good and that

acoustic folk guitar
its the most beuatiufl sound in the world
have any of you heard an instrumental called bron-y-aur by led zeppelin?
its awesome
also bert jansch is good for acoustic folk
even if youre not into folk its touching stuff
also bb kings guitar lucille. he makes it sound like its talking, way before steve vai did any shit like that. without effects as well.
oh yer and hammond organs
blues or funk on a hammond organ sounds so sexy lol

Bert Jansch is legendary...... i love pentangle!! you wouldn't think i did but i do.... i hate led zep though.... and hammond organs are immense...i used to have one in my bedroom and annoy my parents by playing inna-gadda-da-vida for hours on end

bass.


why would i play an instrument that isn't my favourite?


big fan of trombone though...


and i'd love to get my hands on a hammond.

I really like drums and bass, despite the fact that I can't play either of them
