What's your favorite musical instrument?

[Pink Biz]

I like the oboe, too. And piano. And string instruments, especially the ukelele. Jake Shimabukuro is terrific.

Like many here, it's the guitar. I tried teaching my self only to find that I have absolutely no talent. I blame being left handed and now arthritis. Oh what might have been! Hell, I couldn't even tune the damn thing.

That’s brilliant.
You can tell he truly loves what he’s doing
Finest ukulele player I’ve ever heard.

I play piano, but it's not my favorite instrument. I like acoustic guitar - especially when it comes with a nice voice:

Now I wish I can have that Guitar my Dad gave away....It's been a long time....I'll tell you, when me and my cousin started playing, the first
song was Bimbo Bimbo whatcha gonna doeo… I don't know if we made that up or it was really a song....It's been a long time for me to remember....

it was a...erm....song sure enough, about the same time as 'my pa gave me a dollar to buy a collar'

 

[toffee]

I’ve got a friend who used to play guitar but can’t any more so she purchased what’s called a tank drum and says she loves it. She can get 13 notes. She claims it’s very therapeutic also.

Bagpipes!

 

[Ferocious]

Aluminiun foil over a comb, it takes real skill.

 

[old medic]

The fiddle. I used to play, but not anymore. Too many years have passed.

I got the Banjo.... Well 4 of them... Love the old Clawhammer stringband tunes.

 

[Mahatma]

oh my the tales that cant be told...

 

[Mahatma]

Bagpipes!

[Pam]

No, I haven't, Mahatma. Will have to rectify that!

 

[IrisSenior]

Piano.

 

[Pappy]

A big pearl finish set of Ludwig drums. Played them years ago. Had a home sized organ, but I never learned to read music. Love all the settings on it.

I forgot about banjo and bluegrass music. There is something about it.

Actually quite different style, totally different sound

 

[JaniceM]

Acoustic guitar, of course

 

[JustBonee]

Tenor Saxophone ... because that is what my husband played for years

 

[HazyDavey]

Guitar, started back in high school still playing with it.

 

[Ruthanne]

Guitar and this is why: sorry, I got the wrong song earlier in the thread:

 

[benrose]

Steel drums. Although that being said I don't think I could listen to them all the time. Second would have to be piano for sure.

 

[old medic]

My collection... minus my new one

 

[Mister E]

For me , the joanna playing boogie woogie .
