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.
I want to play the accordian. I just don’t want to pay for an accordian.
My daughter got a mini accordion for cheap online. It was at least good enough to see if you enjoy it enough for a real one.
I’ve always wanted to learn the violin since it goes well with the piano but there’s no way to practice quiet.
There’s a kind of electric violin that actually is rather quiet, and in addition to the strings being quieter (there’s no resonance chamber) you can plug headphones in (yeah, plug) and have it sound loud to you. Electric or “silent violin” should probably lead you in the right direction!
Cello, because cellos sound freakin awesome.
Have always wanted to be able to play the cello, whose sound simply resonates with me.
B a n j o !
the keytar
I learn the sax, you pick up the keytar. Then we take over the stages of every major festival with dual soloing to smoke machines and neon lights until the groupies carry us off stage. Deal?
Cello. I really think there is no greater instrument (maybe the church organ). It has such a range, from quick and frantic to dark and brooding. Forreference, check out anything composed by Gabriel Saban.

I’ve always wanted to pick up the guitar.
I have played, in the distant past, at various levels of ability: trumpet, baritone, French Horn, trombone, piano
I have a deep love for Halloween season. I always wanted to get a waterphone. They are just a little to expensive for something that would 100% be a novelty.
Thank you for reminding me that this exists. FYI, it is out of patent and Mr. Waters is now deceased so, one could ethically and legally make a copy. (Patent no. US-3896696-A)
I’m intending to make one for myself at some point, as I THINK I have all the necessary tools at the Makerspace.
EDIT: Just investigated a bit. I absolutely do have access to the tools!!! Now, just to get in to practice TIG welding so that I’m not terribad at it.
My father in law in an AMAZING machinist. I should mention to him to see what he could do with it.
Bagpipes, they are the most beautiful sound to me and the most horrific to everyone else! Also a hurdy gurdy, because it is a interesting sound and I could probably make one and will hopefully do so when I have the time
Alright! My thoughts exactly!
Anything. I absolutely love music and the thought of being able to make it myself has always been a dream of mine. However, I can’t hold a beat to save my life. I’ve tried playing the piano, guitar, trumpet, and baritone at stages of my life, never with any success. I can’t even play Guitar Hero past medium difficulty.
I’d love to learn the sax, my trumpet skills are not as romantic as teenage me had hoped
Bagpipes
which kind?
I didn’t know there was more than one kind! Now I have to go and read up about them.
Drums. It seems they’re really hard to learn, thought.
