What Musical Instrument do you Hate/Think is Irrelevant?

[iain62a]

The Banjo. It's a glorified ukelele.

Not really.

They're pretty radically different instruments.

Well.

About as radically different as two stringed instruments that you pluck can be.

 

[Gaderael]

There's not such thing as a bad instrument, just people who are bad at playing them.

 

[Phenakist]

Electric triangle, 'nuff said

 

[Cakes]

I think if you hate an instrument you just haven't heard it used right.

This man speaks the truth. All instruments deserve our respect. Except the triangle. I mean, what the hell? When can you use that thing?

 

[Ibanez887]

I would say an instrument that is completely irrelevant has to be the triangle
It has no real place in actual music anymore

I'd say the triangle, but after hearing my friend play the Hyrule Field song perfectly, using only that, I'll say nothing.

right about here,I'd say.

The recorder, it is also very annoying .

Why do recorders still exist? You can rape an ostrich with a cheese grater and get the same result!

God dammit stop hating on the recorder! It is a real instrument, it's the damn 1st graders making noise on it that gives it an awful rep!

Alright, but I've never heard of a famous Recorder-ist.

 

[Cakes]

I agree either triangle or the sybols

Uh, you mean cymbals? I wouldn't say so. Auxiliary Percussion (Triangle, Tambourine, the like) often has the reputation of "that instrument any dumb ass could play", which isn't very fair...it is pretty damn easy though. But not the cymbals. I have encountered some damn hard cymbal parts.

Oh yeah. Well...

Bugger I can't think of anything to say. I have been defeated. *Commits Seppuku*

I wasn't entirely serious, but point taken.

 

[Ibanez887]

If anyone here says the cowbell, I will personally hunt them down and beat them to death with one

 

[Xyphon]

To be honest none, as long as they're used it's all good.

Someone took a picture of his talent, that'll be why he's squinting

Excuse me sir, could you help me find my ass? I do believe I've laughed it off.

Agh, agreed O_<
Was sat on the train with a really bad headache yesterday, only to have some kid with a recorder sit infront of me.
I swear, it was louder than the train.

You know, I came in here looking for the "rappers lolololololol" guy.... Anyone else in that picture and I might have argued against it, but by rights he should have stopped making music 2 years ago.

Alright, but I've never heard of a famous Recorder-ist.

Well, there's the fact that the recorder was mostly popular during the renaissance, and was replaced by the flute and such other orchestral instruments. You probably haven't heard of a famous lute-player (what are they called?) either. Also, Frans Brüggen, and Hans-Martin Linde are fairly well known.

You ever think it was replaced by the flute for a reason?

Sorry didn't realise the spelling police were arouund tonight, anyway I am referring to the cymbals which are used in orchestra and the like, normally involving just banging together and sliding next to each other (unsure of what it is called) I would class them as pretty easy to play even if you would disagree with me

 

[Epifols]

The kazoo. You cant even make it sound good

Watch the Southpark episode Margaritaville, will definitely change your mind.

I find that highly unlikely.

Don't knock it until you try it.
