What's your favorite instrument (besides piano of course
)?
Me's curious..
Mine is definitely violincello.. I even think I luv it more than piano
(To listen of course.. I prefer piano to play
)

Definitely electric guitar. I'm about equal on both piano and guitar, but if I had to say, I'm better at guitar. Still a virtuoso though!!

I play a pretty mean 5 string banjo. What a great instrument. Tears your fingertips up though.

do you know why benches fall apart? it is because they have lids with little tiny hinges so you can store music inside them. hint: buy a bench that does not hinge. buy it for sturdiness.

any string instrument.

You need more than a piano, two hands and a brain to play music. You also need hot sauce.

For all the ppl who answered violincello:
Try to find a record of Cellosonate op. 65 - Chopin.
I've got a record of it played by Argerich and Rostropovich, it's beautiful
