Piano. The piano is such a versatile instrument and I wish I could play it and sight read anything I want. I can only play one song on the piano right now which is maple leaf rag.

Ohhh, that's a hard one.
I already play guitar and bass, so that rules those out.
The piano is quite beautiful and versatile, but can't be THAT hard to learn.
What about the harp? That would be interesting.
Or maybe the Theremin. That's quite an instrument! (look it up)
I'd have to say the violin. I'm learning it right now, but it's really sortof a bitch, so I'd like to instantly know how to play it.
Parties would be so much more fun!

I would love to play the piano. My Grandfather was one of the best piano players in the world, but he never taught me.

french horn. it's so pretty sounding. i used to want to play it, but i couldn't figure out how to blow. supposedly french horn's a really hard instrument to play, and if i master it, then other brass instruments would probably be easy.

I would HAVE to agree with davoomac. I would always try to play the piano properly and there was even a time that I played it quite well. Now I want to be able to play it again.

Violin would be the one for me. A violin seems to speak emotions so beautifully.

Guitar! Everyone knows the guitar is the coolest of all instruments.

The accordian.
What can I say, it CAN sound good, wich I like,
but it can also annoy the h3ll out of people,
and that I love.

The guitar.

The xylophone. Why? Because, I dunno, maybe I just want to be kicked in the head by the people at my school

I have played the piano for 7 years of my 12 years of age. I can play, but to be able to just sit down and look at the paper and start playing would be INCREDIBLE!!!!

I would want to be able to play a violin well. I always liked strings, but my natural talent is for the saxaphone.

Sitting at a piano playing anything from classical music to rock n roll.

Trumpet. I have always just like trumpets.
by gung-ho on August 26th, 2006
Drums! I can play bass and guitar and a few other things but I have never been able to play drums, it's so hard.

Guitar. I build guitars and I can play some, but have never been able to create "magic" on one of my own instruments.

the piano. I am not a teenage or in college anymore; otherwise, I would have picked the guitar since it is seen as being cooler. However, the piano is a classic, seen as being elegant, and with age a lot of people are more likely to appreciate piano music in its simplicity.

An organ. Imagine the Halloween theme song on that. ^_^
by Chopsy the Diver on February 10th, 2008
The saxophone, i love the sound and it looks great :)
by felwood on November 7th, 2008
an organ...
every time i watch people playing their organs make me envious. How I wish my parents enrolled me when I was young. The music it played makes me fell calm. Peace of mind is what I get when listening to it :)
by BayAreaBiker on November 7th, 2008
The organ, with its myriad of tone colors and extensive repertoire.
by sariskyfire on September 29th, 2009
Acoustic guitar because that is what I grew up listening to my mom play. Maybe one day I'll take lessons :)
by Ocean Flower on September 29th, 2009
Definitely the drums!!! But I also would love to play a wild electric guitar....love the sound of the marimba...the harp would be gorgeous....oh yeah...Ive allways wanted to play the harmonica!!! Sorry...that wasnt one instrument...so ok...I'll say the harmoica! You can take it anywhere and put it in your pocket...

Clarinet, I do play it at the moment, I'm just not as good as I wish I was.

I wish I could play the trumpet like Louis Amstrong. Man that would be a great dream.
by KimKfromAbseconNJ on September 29th, 2009
Keyboards. Piano, mellotron(if I could FIND one nowadays), synthesizers..
Guitar is cool too, but I like progressive rock, which is loaded with keyboards.
What's the most you've ever spent on musical equipment?

For a difficult instrument to play, I think the accordion is very unappreciated, don't you?
