What musical instrument do you love to hear most?

I also wish that I knew how to play the piano. Thanks for the response. I agree with you that the music released by the piano is very pleasing to hear and very calming too. I think that there are plenty of songs that can be played by the piano. Have a nice day.

I couldn't agree more. I believe that the piano is indeed the best musical instrument. That is really amazing of you to know how to play many instruments. I think that I will start learning to play instruments too.

I also like acoustic music, but compared to the sound of the piano I would prefer to listen for music from piano than from guitar.

Marctiu, have you heard acoustic guitar? Especially classical Spanish guitar, or Brazilian music? It's beautiful!

I agree. Saxophone are also very pleasing to hear. It is a wind instrument and it has this sharp and mellow sound. I love to listen sax too when I feel bored with the piano pieces that I have.

You like strings. I love acoustic too. Violin, well I have liked violin in quite some time and I really think that it is very interesting how horse hair can make a really nice tune on the strings of a violin. Those are really interesting choice.

I think that you pretty like acoustic music. I think that bass is a good instrument. I have played the big one for orchestra and not the one that is for a rock band. I think that the bass puts the beat in the song and I also love it so much. Well, good luck with those instruments. Have a great time.

Oh yes! That is a gorgeous sound! I have a collection of artists who use the Chinese violin. It has a little less mellow sound than Western ones, but a sweet timber, none-the-less. Thank you for reminding me of it. I love just about every stringed instrument I've ever heard, & can play the zither (but I don't use the hammer, I use a pick), the harpsichord, & when available, the mountain dulcimer. I even enjoy a well-played ukelele (which, for those who don't speak Hawaiian, is pronounced OO-koo-LAY-LAY, not YOU-ka-LAY-LEE).

Just so you know.

That is really cool I have not heard of this Amerind and I did some research on it. I bet that instrument sounds really cool since you will never get tired listening to that. I suppose you like wind instruments. That is really cool since here in my country we only use the bugle and sometimes trumpet to play wind type instruments, and also harmonica.

Since you're probably not the sole person unfamiliar with that word, I'll explain it here. There's an interesting history behind it.

"Amerind" is just a modern term coined to categorize North & South American "Indians," as opposed to East Indians, i.e., from India. When the Europeans first came to our continent, they didn't know it existed, so they assumed the people they found here were some branch of Indians from India. Long after Americans realized their appellation was erroneous, it was too late; the name "Indians" had stuck.

Only in the last 30 or so years have linguists (politically correct ones, at least) begun to change the name from "Indian" to "Native Americans." That's still a bit of a misnomer, though, as Native Americans themselves came from the Orient many thousands of years ago, via the iced-over "bridge" from Alaska to their home continent. They went back & forth, in search of food, which was scarce due to the ice.

After the ice age ended, & the "bridge" melted, & the immigrants from the Orient were cut off from their old continent, & eventually forgot their origins. Their folklore still has hints of it, but it faded from the consciousness as they came to accept the inevitable--that they'd been stranded, & would never see home again. This became "home."

It's an old world, & the fact is that few people can truly be said to be "native" to any spot on the planet. It's either that, or we are all emigrants from Africa, thus, everyone in the Americas must be called "African Americans!"

P.S. I forgot to answer your question!! Yes, I do love wind instruments, but the silver flute is far from my favorite (I learned to play it as a child, but smoking killed that ability. Double duh on me... ).

Oboes have a softer sound, & remind me of a human hum. The didgeridoo is near the top of my favorites. Perhaps one of my favorite "wind instruments" is the Aeolian harp, as it combines wing and harp strings, & produces a magical sound. But the pan pipes & "Indian" flutes are at the top of my list of wind instruments. They can make me laugh and cry!

Thanks for the explanation my friend. I really learned something new today. That is what I really like here in mylot because we can learn many things everyday. Have a good time and happy mylotting.

Marctiu, have you Googled up any of that flute music? If so, what do you think of it?

I have googled it up my friend. I really love the sound of the flute. It can like rejuvenate me in some ways. Very inspiring and very tranquil.

I agree 100%! Which variety did you find to hear? There are a number of different types, with variant sounds. Try them all!

Yes! I'm listening to some right now, as it happens. Haunting is a good word for it.

P.S. While I won't say I "hate" them, a little banjo goes a loooonnng way, for me.

I'm just sayin'...

I heard of this oboe. I think that this belongs to the wind family. I really think that the sound it creates is very creepy. Well, that is what I believe and I am really scared of creepy sounds.

I can't blame myself for that. Good choice by the way.

Wow. I like jazz songs too. The beat are so cool. When I hear a jazz the song just keep repeating on my head and then when I hear another song it will be followed by the new song I have heard.

Acoustic is somewhat relaxing to some people. I too would appreciate acoustic since I know that it is very hard to play a guitar especially when you will be playing it with out a singer. I think that it is very difficult to put on the melody on the guitar. Hahaha... Maybe it is because I do not know how to play the guitar no matter how hard I try to start playing it.
