What Musical Instrument do you Hate/Think is Irrelevant?

[happysock]

SYMBAL happy now?

Nope!

Cymbal how about now?

 

[riskroWe]

Does autotune count?

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

A silenced harmonica.

Yep, you heard me. It exists.

While I have to admit that, like other people on this forum, I find kazoos, banjos and recorders somewhat annoying, there's no denying that in the right hands, they can be pleasant, or at least impressive - my music teacher could play melody and harmony of 'Baby Elephant Walk' on two recorders simultaneously - one out each corner of his mouth. Epic. =) In essence, it depends more on the player than it does an the instrument.

I despise drums because I can't play them....

I know I'm biased!

 

[Asickorphan]

very well written, and to the point!

Poor recorder. It used to be a real instrument, but now schools teach it to all the young'uns, so it's lost all respect.

Also, bongos? Really?

There's also a lot of undeserved hate, or rather complete ignorance, to the Drum Kit.

"You practice? I thought you just sat down and hit stuff."
"You mean you have to tune them?!?"

Ah. Why did I choose to become a drummer.

Because chicks always love the drummer

 

[saxist01]

Most lesser known Saxophone variants that are taller than the person themselves.

Yes, not very useful. But a hell of a lot of fun to play. They make your eyes rattle in their sockets.

 

[NBSRDan]

Bagpipes. They kinda work in that one war memorial song, and are horrifically annoying any other time.

 

[ScruffyTheJanitor]

Anyone heard "Gong cencerto in BWONG flat?"
This 'instrument' is merely one irritating noise that is used to finish some orchestra pieces with the ringing sound that would be better witha pair a cymbals more often than not.

 

[Julianking93]

Either a kazoo or a recorder.

Those are the two most annoying instruments.

EDIT: After walking past a room full of 6 year olds trying to play it, I'll go with the recorder.

 

[Warwolt]

Wait, what do you mean with "recorders"? How is it an instruments?

 

[BadgeMan]

I will tell you one instrument that will never be irrelevant.

The cowbell.

 

[PureChaos]

recorder. it just sounds awful.

 

[Ibanez887]

I will tell you one instrument that will never be irrelevant.

The cowbell.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cowbell is the greatest the greatest instrument in history
"I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more cowbell!"

 

[Computer-Noob]

Recorders.

Can you even be good at the recorder? Because you certainly can't play music with it. Or what most people call music

You clearly have not seen Master of Disguise.

 

[MaskedMori]

Eh... Clarinet... I'm not really fond of it or that droll sound it makes.

 

[Craig FTW]

I prefer not to hate pieces of inanimate wood/plastic/metal.

This just made my whole damn week better.
Instruments for the fucking win.
