Musical instruments you've grown to hate

[mp170.6]

Are there any musical instruments you can't stand the sound of anymore? 

 

I played trumpet for a few years beginning in 4th grade and hated it.  In the years since then I've grown less and less fond of any brass instruments, particularly in a big band or marching band setting.  Solo brass performances can be good depending on the song and performer, but the sound of trumpets, trombones, tubas, saxophones, french horns, etc -- all at the same time -- playing different beats has become unbearable for me at times. A good example of where this drives me nuts is listening to the Rose Parade go for hours with marching band after marching band.

 

What about you?

I love music with lots of horns. The old Hammond organ sound is what drives me nuts now. It's why I've taken all the Doors' music off my ipod.

Damn, I played the guess who started it game and got it wrong.

Did you think it was Nate?

Dude, there is nothing better than a great Hammond organ sound!

 

Exhibit A: Jon Lord in Deep Purple

I think when any instrument is played right it can sound amazing. I can't really think of any instrument that drives me bonkers.

Flutes are extremely annoying when they are featured, I'm sure they are an important part of an orchestra, but keep them in the background, please.

[IEAngelsfan]

If every accordian and bagpipe were mysteriously destroyed and the memory of them were wiped out, I could live with that.

Any instrument that your kid just started playing

[Glen]

Did you think it was Nate? 

 

 

 

Ha ha, that was good.  Seriously, I thought it was nother, even though he rarely posts anymore.

[Brandon]

I didn't think it was nother.

It would have read something like, "What musical instrument do you dislike while on the 10 freeway west heading to Little Korea in LA?"

[nate]

Lol, I guessed Nother.

[Ray McKigney]

Glockenspiel.

The kid next door learning to play drums when you're trying to take a nap.

[HaloFan85]

I can't stand what ever sax Kenny G plays.  I wouldn't call it hate, but it's truly annoying.

[St1ck]

Of course no one has mentioned the cow bell yet. 

[Tank]

the ukelele. we've had a few kids that practice on it during lunch or after school, and they always seem to be right outside my room. all i can hear is two chords that don't mesh together very well, and it's nails on a chalkboard to me.

You know what kind of people like to take naps, and complain about kids playing drums?

Old people, that's what kind.

[katie]

I've accepted that already

[James]

Katie is the old bitter drunk lady in the neighborhood who makes a fool out of herself in public by tripping over imaginary things. God bless her.

The piccolo has always been the most annoying musical invention that man ever created. 

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Flutes are extremely annoying when they are featured, I'm sure they are an important part of an orchestra, but keep them in the background, please.

Apparently you've never seen Ron Burgundy wail on one.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

If you asked my wife, she'd probably reply "skin flute".

[Glen]

The didgeridoo.  What a worthless instrument.

I think the piccolo and flute are not much different in the annoying department.  For some reason I like the clarinet and oboe though.
