I am thinking the violin. With absolutely no frets or visible keys sound estimation and perfect tones are difficult to reach. And that vibrato ain't no easy feat, took me 2 years to achieve good vibrato techniques. It took up more of my practicing time compared to that of the piano and guitar. What about yours?

I think the hardest would be the violin. I don`t beginners like me would ever learn that with just a few days and I find it complicated.

Trombone is a difficult instrument to play, especially if you insist on using good intonation. You have to have the correct embochure (sorry, I can't remember the spelling, but it refers to the shape of your lips, tongue, and the inside of your mouth) and the slide must be in the right location for each note. One cm in the wrong direction and the note will sound quite awful.
Perhaps not the hardest instrument to learn, but I felt like it's difficulty is worth noting.
