There are so many definitions of music... and many people love music and some even can't live without it. Having this in mind, what musical instrument would you like to be that could give happiness to a lonely heart, mend a broken heart, soothe a troubled soul, renew the strenght of ones will, revive a waivering faith and even save lives... and WHY did you say so? For me, I would prefer to become a PIANO simply because it's music really RELAXES me personally and I guess it does the same thing to most men. How about you? What instrument would you like to become that could give music to mankind and to the world? I am hoping to read your answers here. GOD BLESS US ALL!

I would have to pick a Piano, also. I just bought a Christmas CD of piano music yesterday and have been playing it ever since. A piano is just the most soothing sound of all instruments. But, it can pick up nicely and have a beat to make your feet tap.

I would like to be a harp, the music instrument played by my favorite Bible character king David. The harp is one of the oldest instruments in the history of mankind. I remember how David played the instrument while he was watching the flocks of sheep in the field. Harp therefore has remarkable participation in the Bible. When harp is being talked about King David readily comes into my mind. However the harp which is being mentioned in the Bible is was not harp we see today but actually a lyre.

I agree with you about pianos, but a flute is a really lovely instrument too, and is very relaxing and soothing to the soul. It is hard to choose an instrument, as sometimes it's lovely to hear a whole orchestra, with all the different parts making the music special as a whole. I suppose if we all choose different instruments, then we'll be an orchestra together!

My wish would be, to be a harpsichord. Maybe the dreaming and fairytale side of me shows in this wish... I can see myself swaying with the strings and vibrating with the melody as I'm touched. I would want someone to play - Silhouette - Kenny G - on me!

Given a chance to be a music instrument I will choose to be a harp. Simply because it's peaceful and soothing and relaxing to the one who hears the sound.

A saxaphone.. lol =D BEcasue it requires great determination for one to learn that, and it actually trains up one's will power.. Thus, it needs a strong man, in terms of mentally and physically, to play the saxaphone.. With the melody that comes out of it, it will make ple realise, how hard work can earn us, and how it is actually worth our effort ^_^ When a saxaphone is being played, one is able to hear the powerful and strongness of it, and the tune which comes out from it, is simply fasinating ^_^ hehe

If I would be an instrument I'll be a saxophone, complicated and takes a lot of effort and talent to play. Just like me I always make sure that I put in a lot of effort in what I do. Also if I may mention Saxophone music could be both relaxing and sensual for me.

If I were an instrument I would be the beautiful sounds coming from a Acoustic Guitar I love the earthy tones, its vibrating strings coninside with my vibratious personality, on the outside i may look hard as metal and steel but I produce the most soothing melody...

Hi, Jhordie! Each of us has so many moods or even tasks to accomplish, we'd have to be entire orchestras. As I've be recuperating from surgery, I've been an oboe -- low down and, while smooth, getting the job done with great difficulty. I plan to go back to work tomorrow, and I'll probably be an electric guitar with lots of synthesizers attached, because I've missed the kids like crazy, and because I don't know what I'll be walking into because subs seldom follow directions. I'm terrible about waking up at 3:30 every morning to get to work, and everything's annoying until I've had a shower and coffee -- a piccolo or maybe a violin. I could keep going, but I think you get the idea. You, my friend, are certainly a piano, because there's not much a piano can't express!

Music is definitely one of the most important gift from God. I would like to be a flute. It defines my character, simple and striking. The flute is a simple instrument with a simple sound but it runs deep in one's psyche. It catches the emotion immediately and one is attracted to searching one's inner soul

Saxophone, I do not know why but I have always had this obsession with sax's. I guess because I had a crush on a saxophone player in high school.

I think that I would like to be a Harp. I don't really listen to that much harp, but I just think it is such a beautiful instrument. The sounds are so angelic, and I just think there has to be so much talent and skill involved.
