What Instrument would you want to be good at?

[Lego Batman]

Imagine waking up to find you can play one instrument very well without any practice.
What instrument would you pick?

 

[Dedans]

Harp

 

[Manuel Noriega]

Tuba

 

[Anonitolia]

saxophone no question

 

[Sundae]

Piano. I've wanted to be skilled at playing the piano ever since I was little, but I lack the dexterity to be good at it.

 

[Safir]

Thotful alsnwer, whatever earns the most money, I'd rather play music for a living than write serializers. Honest answer: accordion, they're chonky.

 

[Nicholas Gur]

Piano, because of the implication.

 

[Sparkletor 2.0]

Triangle or kazoo.

 

[Neo-Nazi Rich Evans]

ive been meaning to pick up bass guitar for years, so id choose that. second place would be the keyboard.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

I could play the keyboard/piano as a kid but I forgot all of it. Also played a bit of violin but never got decent at it before I gave up.

I would really want to pick up the piano/keyboard again some time.

 

[Hamsteroid]

Either the Stalinorgel or the hurdy-gurdy.

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

In reality, guitar. I'm left handed, and as such everything needs to be mirrored, including the guitar itself, so it's extra annoying. I tried several times as a kid, and eventually gave up because left-handed chords wasn't just something I could procure out of thin air. And now I only have 9 functional fingers.
For the cool factor, either the theremin or pedal steel guitar.

I can play the banjo ok and practice the guitar constantly. However, if I could pick I'd like to be good at the drums. Unfortunately, I just don't enjoy practicing drumming very much

Synthesizers. Synths do everything organs do, but better, and also almost anything else within human music.

 

[BatsInTheBelfry]

Personally, it’s a toss up between sitar and piano. Piano seems more transferable, but the sitar might win by a hair.

 

[Lapsus of the bepsus]

im already good at it
but if i had to choose a second one itd be harmonica

 

[We Are The Witches]

Piano. It also has a lot of versatility if you want to do it digitally.

Not sure which hand has the non-functional finger, but if it's your right, it's actually not very hard as a lefty to play righty. I play right-handed, and it's much more convenient.
Since we're such a minority, we're already typically a bit ambidextrous when it comes to using tools. Same applies to instruments. If you're really starting out, the only real handicap is your picking hand might be a bit slower than it otherwise would be if you were picking with your left, but you're not going to start out hammering out thrash metal riffs anyways.

 

[neger psykolog]

Piano or guitar. But I would prefer piano because you can plug it into a computer and do shit with it.
