What musical instrument do you love to hear most?

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.

[b]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. Maggiepie IMPEACH THE IMPOSTER![/b]

[b]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!" Maggiepie A TRAITOR DESERVES TO BE IMPEACHED[/b]

[b]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! Maggiepie A TRAITOR DESERVES TO BE IMPEACHED[/b]

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.

[b]Marctiu, have you heard acoustic guitar? Especially classical Spanish guitar, or Brazilian music? It's beautiful! Maggiepie IMPEACH THE IMPOSTER![/b]

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.

[b]Yes! I'm listening to some right now, as it happens. Haunting is a good word for it. Maggiepie IMPEACH THE IMPOSTER![/b]

[b]P.S. While I won't say I "hate" them, a little banjo goes a loooonnng way, for me. I'm just sayin'... Maggiepie IMPEACH THE IMPOSTER![/b]

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.

I agree with you. Piano is really worthy of praise. It has this one of a kind sound. I also think that violin and flute is not so bad. Since these are really cool musical instrument.. and the one who can play these instruments are really those talented.

That is really cool. I believe that it is a talent if you know how to play the guitar even just giving some tunes, because I have tried so many times to play the guitar and the tune just wont rhyme. I really got annoyed with it and soon I got bored and let go of my guitar. Really not my instrument. Good luck. Have a nice day.

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.

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.

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.

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.
