And why? Not an instrument you already play. Pick something else.
I’ll start.
Saxophone, so I can climb the rooftops and play my neighbours some cheesy sax porn solos of the eighties.
Have always wanted to be able to play the cello, whose sound simply resonates with me.

Cello, because cellos sound freakin awesome.
Piano. I actually can play it a bit but I’d need 10000 more hours and space and time and motivation to do that. I wish I could just sit down and play, without disturbing the neighbors or limiting my living space or cutting down on my other hobbies. But piano is really nice. I guess I’ll stick to listening to it.
You could get a keyboard and use headphones if the noise is the most significant blocker. That can help with the space, too, since you could fold up the stand and put it away when not in use, unlike a piano which is furniture as much as a musical instrument. Unfortunately, there’s no helping with the time part unless you’re lucky enough to be born with talent, though even then it just means less time rather than little time.
I guess piano, because I got a free piano off the streets. I could look up videos and lessons, but I’m kind of self conscious about practicing on a real whole god damn piano in an apartment building with neighbors in every direction. I also just don’t like to make a lot of noise. I should price an electronic keyboard I can pair with Bluetooth headphones to practice in perfect silence and privacy sometimes.
I’d love to be able to play the Mongolian Morin Khuur just for the sole reason of making that horse noise
Saxophone or trumpet as well would be fun to bust out funky solos
There are two instruments that I would like to learn.
-
Drums: so I can take out some of the anger and frustration and make it into a melody.
-
Bass guitar: I have always liked how they sound and when I played any Guitar Hero or similar games, I always played the bass. I could imagine laying in bed and playing a melancholic tune until the sadness goes away. Or just play whatever fits my mood at the moment.
I have also thought that violins look and sound interesting, but they seem pretty complicated to play.
-
Bagpipes
which kind?
I didn’t know there was more than one kind! Now I have to go and read up about them.
-
Violin so I can play sick violin solos over metal music.
-
Drums so I can play blast beats all day in literally every local metal band.
-
Saxophone so I can do this.
Good to find someone who has the exact opposite taste in Metal that I do. Except point two, blast beats are the shit.
-
Drums. It seems they’re really hard to learn, thought.
That Japanese guitar thing with the giant tuners
Edit: shamisen
“closed hole” flute: I have a tendency to pick up loud and obnoxious instruments. trumpet. diatonic harmonica. penny whistle. it would be cool to have a genuinely soft instrument. also, having skills that would transfer to piccolo:D
Any of them. I love music and I’ve always wanted to play but never had the time, place, or money.
the keytar
Guitar.
I’m trying again using rocksmith+ and I just have such a hard time with the coordination.
I’ve not heard of it.
This time next year I’m sure you’ll be a marvel to behold. Please post back when you get your epiphany!
Thinking of ya.
Think Guitar Hero but you use a real electric guitar instead of a plastic toy.
I never really got that plastic guitar thing. I’m over 5 yo.
No need to disparage people who enjoy rhythm games. Just because you don’t get it doesn’t mean people who do enjoy it are children.
Fair point. I apologise.
