If you could play ONE instrument PERFECTLY, effortlessly, which would you choose to play??
Say you were able to pick any musical instrument, and you were granted one wish to play that instrument perhaps better than anyone has ever played it in the history of humankind…which instrument would you choose? Piano, drums, guitar??? Trumpet? Violin? Sax? other? and why?
I cannot choose here, and I am putting this to a vote. My grandfather used to play ragtime on his piano, and the whole room would shake…I am so so partial to piano, using your feet and hands, it’s just an unbelievable instrument. I play it, but not nearly well enough to be satisfied, and I dream about just sitting on the bench and belting out rag or rachmaninoff, filling the room with staggering notes. I also LOVE the drums, but I’m too spastic! haha.
piano, so versatile.

i would be the flute and piccolo, been playing them for 10 years, and id also be bass guitar, been playing it on and off for 4 years now

Piano for sure. To play like Chopin would be orgasmic.

Violin. I’ve always wanted to play, but never had the chance.

The Piano would be my choice. From there, I believe, you can pretty much pick up other instruments and learn them quicker and easier because you know the piano.

Violin. The music is heavenly and a the view of a person playing it… beautiful.

I’d master the pan flute like Zamfir

harp
it’s like piano but i feel like SO many people are already great at the piano the world needs more great harpists.

The Harp, because we have one. We found ours at a yard sale for $6, it was a divorce sale. I spent more than $50 having it restrung. And no one plays it. But its pretty standing in the parlor.

Definitely the tuba. I already play it pretty well and LOVE the instrument. I also have one that I borrowed from our local high school. I wish I could afford a good one. I think bass is very important to music, and good tubists are hard to come by (unless you’re in the Canadian brass band). Besides, how fun is it to say that I’m a 6"1′ Kindergarten teacher who plays the tuba?

Piano for me too!

Bass guitar.
I have always wanted a bass. As a plus, if you can play a bass guitar, you can also play a stand-up bass. There are more than a few girl bands in my area, and they are always short on both drummers and bassists. I thought I liked drums until my husband, a former drummer, pointed out the hassles of breaking down a kit to take it to practices and to gigs. Basses are easier. They look cool, too.
(The irony is that there’s a perfectly good antique grand piano in the other room–I took lessons for years, and my mom has at least three friends who teach adults. I could probably even get lessons for free. But do I want to play the piano? Noooooo…)

The 6-hole Irish tin whistle. And I already can. Nobody can touch me on tin whistle. Any key, fully chromatic, virtually effortlessly. I have a set of 11 professional ones made in England. They’re aluminum, perfectly in tune throughout two octaves. They are the kind they use in River Dance. (by the way, wouldn’t nude River Dance be great? but I digress.) I’ve been playing them for about 6 years now and I’ve gotten it down. I played trumpet for twenty years before that and had that working pretty good too but the trumpet is never effortless.

An electric organ or keyboard then everyone could sing a long a karaoke with me accompanying them
