What's your favorite music instrument?

I love touch guitars. They look cool and can produce a wide variety of sounds, allowing them to carry entire albums. Pic unrelated.

I really like chord organs. They have such an ugly yet charming sound. They are basically vacuum cleaners that suck air through holes to produce particular sounds corresponding to what keys you press. At least, that is how I think they work - I might be wrong. Here's a Magnus chord organ: https://youtu.be/igc2cMiE-m8

The Violin, with electric violins it has become even better than guitars in my opinion, they can transmit a feeling of dispair aswell as a romantic/wedding feeling!. Pic unrelated.

>>9646 The saxophone sometimes makes me doubt about this thought tho. The amount of sounds and emotions you can make with it are also so arousing, so I would say I love both of them the violin and the saxophone (having in mind I am talking about the amount of variety of saxophones that you can find out there).

>>9647 Both the violin and saxophone have been found in genres outside it's comfort zone (classical, jazz). Yet, they bring so much life and nuance beyond novelty to those genres. I'm referring to saxophones in metal, and violins in screamo. Both of which sound phenomenal. I love the Bass Guitar, I am biased. It forms the foundation of most music today, and has the ability to excel past a simple line and to really become the voice of a single piece. I also just like how it sounds.

my fav instrument's got to be the bombarde. I don't know how to play it yet, and I'll likely start with the veuze, but I'll get there someday >>9648 violin in screamo is awesome (I guess you know sostoyanie ptits) but cello in screamo is even better imo

>>9247 >What's your favorite music instrument? I don't know the name of the instrument in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ejhcrkDlxQ

>>9713 I believe that is a Harmonica. (I know in English that's used for another instrument.) It was popular in Germany during the last century and is still commonly used in primary music education in Japan. Quality manufacturers would be Hohner and possibly Yamaha. Very cheap and versatile. The model shown in the video is something special, as it doesn't use brass lips behind the keys, but instead sounds flutelike. Likely the lips took inspiration from a recorder. Unlinke usual flutes Harmonicas have individual lips for each sound. Usually they would be played with a mouth piece similar to a recorder, with one hand for positioning and the other hand for playing, but they will always sell with an extension tube and this is how they will be used to provide a whole class with cheap keyboards in Japanese primary schools. Costs between 30-90 dollars for a good one and is genuinely a fun thing to have, especially if you have complexes about not being able to make music outdoors like guitar players.

>>9730 yeah these guys are crazy good OST is nice but not sure it isn't a clarinet VST

Really any instrument which can slide around bend notes end up sounding really cool and versatile. Like, the pedal steel guitar https://youtu.be/zrLXBIc6F8E https://youtu.be/JS43ZKYkgug

What does lainchan think of the kalimba? A lot of basic fairy-light YouTube performers out there for this but some people go hard: https://youtu.be/O7CrzZ7t3LA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwi0JaJmVTI Please convince me not to get one.

>>9726 I believe that's a Melodica, not a Harmonica. I may just be unaware of that naming though.

Ive realized whats some of favorite folk punk has in commons the use of a trumpet. Acoustic guitars are almost mandatory for the genre but the additional instrument really brings out the emotions of the songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvqX_1gCd4g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaDMYqUbOPU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuWkFTlsWvo

OP, you should check out the Harpejji. Similar sound qualities to the touch guitar. It is effectively just a fretboard with a bunch of strings tuned in a way that allows similar play to that of a piano: https://youtube.com/watch?v=A7t06LQVSAo They're unjustifiable expensive, but pretty cool. >>9726 >>9754 I don't know about other languages but in English it is called a melodica. There are cheap plastic ones available in most music stores. It can be a little weird to play because of the breath control. If your breath isn't the right strength, the intonation of the note will be off and when you hold down multiple keys, you have to adjust your breath to account for that. >>9753 Get one. They're fun, sound great, and they're cheap. There's also some cool mods you can do to them like this guy who added a tape loop to his https://youtube.com/watch?v=54STlcqdUlU

>>9753 they're fun little instruments. mine went out of tune really easily, but it is easy to tune. somewhat limited in its range due to having only a handful of keys.

>>9755 Brass always adds a lot to punk. Saxophone works especially well for harsher punk rock. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=TkKxJ7sP_bQ

BASS or also 6 strings BASS

I think the Omnichord and the hurdy gurdy are pretty cool. If I were to choose my favorite instrument, they would certainly be contenders.

Machinedrum and Monomachine. Defining sound for many moments in recent electronic music history. And the chunky plastic buttons feel like no other.

>>9813 i wish Elektron would produce the Monomachine again , seems like such an interesting device the prices fuarrrking exploded once they went out of production, and because of producer SOPHIE's influence/known mastery of them here, have this video i found a while ago on youtube, if you like the Monomachine :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTuKGfnPflE

>>9813 I owned a pristine machinedrum mk2 uw drive+ whatever but I sold it last year because I didn't really use it. Made quite some money on it but I kinda regret it now. Not going to buy one again because I probably wouldn't use it again but it was such a solid feeling instrument, built like a darn tank.

>>9814 Hard agree. Many of the new Elektron boxes are pretty robust but there was just something s unique and punchy about the MNM's synth engine, those FM synth sounds still sound so futuristic after so many years. If they were to update the monomachine/machinedrum with overbridge support and to fix some of the more dated aspects of the workflow... ooh baby I've always enjoyed watching people use the machinedrum for breaks. it seems like both boxes have a lot of generative possibilities that would make for awesome breakcore or something https://youtu.be/pqfSYcLmP_A
