your favorite instrument

anything. what do you like, or would like to have?

i like piano the most, it's just that so many people have
done such wonderful things with it (rachmaninoff, mozart,
chopin, ellington) and it fits well in most styles of
music.

but i would love to own a sitar - it's my dream instrument.
i love eastern and indian type instrumentation. that or a
cello. mmm mmm bowing.

this is really too hard.

but if I HAVE to choose, I'd probably go for the violin.
although they only really become good in little groups.
really.

NO !

it can only ever sound like a harp.

a piano plays, you hear the music that's being played.

a harp plays, you hear a harp playing. and there's some
music somewhere.

it helps if it's being played by someone who can actually
play it. IMO.

easy, english horn.

an additional question for this wonderful thread:

what do you think is the most terrible instrument?

i'd say flute, closely followed by harp (yech!)
