I play a lot of different instruments, and for me, I would say that bagpipes is the hardest. I never could learn how to get a good sound from these, and the fingering is difficult because of the way the holes are placed.

How about an oboe or a bassoon because of their triple reeds ... I would think that could be difficult to master.

I play piano. I think the harmonica and bagpipes would be very hard to play -- inhaling and exhaling for the instrument while trying to actually breathe -- seems impossible.

Bassoon. Very difficult to even get a sound from it for me. Difficult reed.

A tube. It's the only musical instrument that I can think of now that you can't produce a sound with if you are just starting out (which can make you quit learning how to play with it pretty fast).

For me it's the piano. My left hand is STOOPID.

I think every instrument is equally difficult to play well. But in the early stages some instruments are easier than others. The recorder is good, because making a sound is easy, and the fingering is not too difficult. But playing the recorder at a virtuoso level is as difficult as playing the violin to the same level.

All of them, I am not musically inclined.

I believe the violin is very complex

If you were your favorite instrument would you rather be the lead and solo or in the background? Why?

That sounds right. I understand the fingering is completely unrelated to other honk- and squeak-oriented instruments.
