See everyone likes the cello

I hope..

Cellostreet.com?

[ihatepop]

Violin. I wish I could learn it one day...

ihatepop

[arbisley]

Cello (i play it )
organ (I play it )
trumpet


but I like most instruments apart from maybe the oboe because it is often so awfully played...

[elevateme]

recorder!! but good recorder

[alwaystheangel]

True, but when you do hear  well plyed oboe, its really something else.  I have this CD from  Vienna thats all chamber ensembles and I had a heated argument with my mother about whether the melody was played by an oboe or some unnown instrument.  It turned out to be an oboe, but you could have fooled me.  Didn't sound anything like what I had to suffer through in High school band.

Good oral technique can go a long way to make the difference between disgust and extasy .

[alwaystheangel]

so i'm told

[iumonito]

The clarinet.

[jre58591]

cello. such a wonderful instrument. then the oboe.

[lichristine]

vharp, panpipes, violin, human voice, drums, electric guitar, screaming

[tds]

surely my own....hmm ♠thing. u know

[tompilk]

cello. such a wonderful instrument. then the oboe.

i agree. Cello is nicest. Then probably saxophone of clarinet.
I detest violins as solo instruments - in orchestras they are ok. Not nice solo instruments to listen to though...
Tom

[beethoven2]

Clarinet is my second favorite (other than piano, of course), but that is probably only because I play it.

so true. i cant stand a solo violin. maybe if its with something else, though.

[nanabush]

Tie Between Alto Saxophone and Electric Guitar

[pianistimo]

harp and organ.  i play neither.  but, it's fun to just pretend.  i started learning how to play the pedals about 6 years ago.  now, i have to start again.  i was getting good at skipping notes on the pedals instead of having to go chromatically without looking. 

[ahinton]

Banjoe

Why? What has he done to offend whom? And, in any case, shouldn't Nils be the one to decide?...

Best,

Alistair

The sound of horns + cellos is also magnificent, a great orchestral mixture.

[alwaystheangel]

just thought of something:  can you have more than one favourite instrusment.  I mean when you think of the meaning of the word favourite it means the one you favour over all others.

Sorry, I'm punchy today

[phil13]

This would render "My Favorite Things" moot, amongst other things, like the list of Favorites you probably keep of bookmarked Web pages.

Many people lack the ability to have just one "favorite" anything. I am one of those people.

Phil

[rach n bach]

Glad everyone likes the Cello.    
Others?   Organ, Viola (really!), and Harp

RnB

[wotgoplunk]

recorder!! but good recorder

Tenor recorder is okay, as well as Alto. Soprano...not so much. I feel sorry for any music teacher who has to put up with 25 soprano recorders playing at once .


The cello is one of my favourite instruments as well as the clarinet. Both have fairly low ranges. The violin, flute etc. sound too squeaky and shrill.

I am like that, I probalby ought to decide which instrument I want to take up definitely if I want a performing career, but maybe I like being able to do so many things too much. after all, rostropovitch played the piano extremely well, and it's always good to have an extensive general knowledge for being a conductor, who knows...

[soliloquy]

Oh the theremin for sure


Close second- didgeridoo

[houseofblackleaves]

Probobly these three:

Cello
Erhu
Pipa

Harp and organ are also good.

[tompilk]

is it a theremin in Messiaen's Turangalila symphony? they called it ondes martenot on the radio broadcast i have about it, but it sounds pretty much the same as the thing Bill Bailey plays...
Tom

[onction_terrible]

In the Turangalîla Symphonie, it is an ondes martenot. It has a different sound than a theremin, which can be found in Miklós Rózsa's Spellbound Concerto. The theremin doesn't have as wide a range of sounds avaiable as the ondes martenot and it is harder to achieve fixed pitches. The ondes martenot is sometimes used instead of a theremin in some pieces because the theremin is so difficult to play, much like Bohuslav Martinú's Fantasie. One more thing. The ondes martenot is played with touch, whereas the theremin isn't.

If you are interested, listen to GFF Radio this Friday at 10 PM eastern time. A piece will be featured with the ondes martenot, and, directly after, a piece with the theremin will be featured. It will be easy to hear the difference in sounds.

I like Cello, harp, flute (because I play it), and organ.

I would love to learn Harp and Cello. I have heard that you have to start young to learn cello though. At the moment I would spend a year learning it to find the basics and teach myself, that it what I did with piano for about two years. I then decided that I wanted to continue and took lessons.

[tompilk]

waterphones are pretty cool...

[pianochick93]

On an aopposite note, my school music teacher banned ukeleles from the school music wong because he hates them so much.  There are now at least 5 uke players that hate him.
