Least Favorite Instrument

**bigb56** · 03-02-2019, 05:11 PM

Stealing from another thread to see what are people's least favorite instrument, sound wise, not hard to play wise, just hard to listen to. I'll start with my least favorite, the Vibraphone. Can't stand it 99% of the time. Second would be the Organ with a big exception: The Doors. The only time I ever liked the sound of the Organ was when Ray Manzarek played it.

Love the organ intro on the song the Weight. I saw the Band play that in 1969 at CN stadium in Toronto.

An accordion every single song sounds the same and it's about a barrel or a fat girl.

I forgot about The Band....great sound. As far as accordion I don't like the beer barrel polka sound either but absolutely love the Tex-Mex sound...

Concertina (Squeezebox). Very blah, monotonous sound from them, at least the accordion has more octaves.

In the same vain as a concertina, the base saxophone and sousaphone , monotonous tones even though they have keys (sax) and valves (sousaphone).

I don't care for the sound of the Indian sitar. I love the sound of a calliope.

Safe Travels.

It's just a little joke. I like cowbell, especially in "Don't Fear the Reaper" by BOC. One of the funniest things I've seen on SNL.
