7. easier to say

Jaw harp.

[Misunderestimator]

9. True... ok then, BAGPIPES... I hate 'em. n/t

[tsakshaug]

15. Bagpipes yes

I started to hate them when I was running in a 24 hour relay and some idiot came through the field house at about 3am playing the damn things.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

17. No way! Bagpipes rule!

They are very effective at creating a somber atmosphere.

[shaolinmonkey]

27. I agree. Ever listen to the Dropkick Murphys?

Punk rock + bagpipe = awesome.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

34. I've seen em in concert

They never really swayed me one way or another. A lotta people love them though.

You should come to Tschotchkies tonight and see my all kazoo rock band, Tarkus, playing all your favorite Emerson, Lake, and Palmer covers all nite.

13. Krummhorn

A medieval wind instrument with a nasal "bap-bap-bap-bap" sound.

[Archae]

14. "Singing dogs or cats."

Who's BRILLIANT idea was it to edit dog barks and cat meows into tunes anyway? :crazy:

[Misunderestimator]

[BigMcLargehuge]

16. Scotty McClellen

[Loonman]

25. The Bassoon

[Gothic Sponge]

28. Guitar

I love guitar. Hell i'm a guitarist. I'm just sick of guitar music. Anything and everything that can be done on a guitar has been done to death.

[tjwash]

[rucky]

32. the slide whistle

[pippin]

33. accordion

Once saw a bumper sticker that siad "play an accordion, go to jail."

[kmla]

35. Bagpipes.

Sounds like a sack full of asthmatic weasles trying to hum the harmony of "The Macarena", with their cheeks stuffed full of walnut sheels and cracked marbles.

Or something like that.
