@ucme -Kazoo or steel drums?

@lucillelucillelucille Like asking if i’d prefer a punch in the face or a kick in the nuts.

A badly blown clarinet.

@ucme -Well, what’s your answer?
@elbanditoroso – What is your favorite?

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille Kazoo/face, both alternatives are too painful.

Yoko Ono’s voice

I used to keep a tape of her singing in my car, and I would tell the kids if they weren’t good, I would play it.

My electric guitar and Marshall Stack. I have had to cut back and play my acoustic more often.

@lucillelucillelucille

two favorites:

- a well played cello

- a well played piano

elbanditoroso's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille cellos, because of their size, and range, can produce some of the fullest sounding melodies.

I love bassoon. I was so jealous of the girl in our school band who played one. I hadn’t heard of them before that. I played flute, and she was right behind me. When we packed up though, I didn’t want to trade cases with her for the walk home!

I like steel drums when they are a good distance away, but close up, or close to a microphone they sound like a whole city of babies dropping their jingle toys at the same time. Every nerve ending feels like it is rubbing sandpaper.

A well played French Horn is delightful to me.

Use an accordion, go to jail.

The ondioline, at least as it’s played here.
A warning to the morbidly curious: play at the lowest audible volume.

I guess my favorite is the electric 12-string guitar.
This is probably my favorite example.

Accordian, blech.

Bag pipe.
All bag pipes should go to where the single socks go.
Together with accordeon haters.

ragingloli's avatar

Accordions are just crappier bagpipes.

ragingloli's avatar

Just like Ukuleles and Banjos are just crappier guitars.

@rebbel -What an incredible set of lungs!! XD

nightwolf5's avatar

Too many people think their own bag is the only one which matters.
