If you could be God on any insturment (besides piano) what would it be??

[lisztisforkids]

I think my choice would be the Church Organ, because its the largest and most complex insturment in the world, and its ******* rad!! or the Cello, i have always loved the deep and moving sound of the Cello.

Bwahahaha!

Cello - it's gorrrrrgeous, although i'm very happy with the piano i would actually like to meet a cellist because there's so much great music out there for cello and piano.

If not cello then the violin. I also play flute (did my grade 8 ABRSM about 3 years ago) but i find it a pretty boring instrument compared to the piano.

According to cosmology, the end of the Universe means we're all plucked?

That's not what I thought I heard

I'd pick the piano, I know what it says, but the question almost implies a level of ability on the piano that I don't have. If I was really good at piano, I'd probably say violin.

Well, I know that I could never be God, but I think the question means, "What instrument would you want to be a virtuoso on?"
Tie between clarinet and violin.

[quantum]

Most probably the pipe organ.  It just rocks. 

For a woodwind, I'd have to say clarinet. 

For a non-western: African Kora, or Chineese Erhu. 

[perfect_pitch]

The Organ or the violin... both instruments are brilliant and perfect in every way like the piano.

CONDUCTING

[jas]

The fiddle. Really virtuosic fiddle music is great, I'd love to play it.

[brahmsian]

Electric guitar - there's nothing like a shred solo to really get me going

Contrabassoon  !

Some years back I was playing harpsichord in the Bach 3rd Brandenburg Concertyo, also on the program were the Beethoven 2nd Symphony (uses Contrabasoon) and the Mozart Clarinet Concerto. The Clarinet soloist was, well, not so good. At one of the rehearsal breaks the Contrabasoonist, a quiet girl who rarely smiled, started into the 3rd movement of the solo clarinet part of the Mozart. The orchestra members were filing out; we all stopped and watched and listened, slack jawed; I have never heard this movement played faster or cleaner on ANY instrument!    I believe she is now in a major symphony orchestra, playing contra and whatever part the contra doubles on. She should be a soloist! An astonishing player on an underrated instrument...

Thats awesome!
