If you were an instrument what would you be and why?

I've actually thought about this a lot - I think I need a new hobby, or a girlfriend or something - anyway I'm pretty sure I'd be a violin. The reason being that it is so versatile. You can play everything from bluegrass to Bach, and it captures well varying moods from romantic to pensive to energetic and even down right silly. They can even come in electric if one feels like rocking out! In addtion, whilst a piano might be able to do all of these things, a violin is far more practical and portable and to me a violin is a far less 'common' instrument than a piano or some other instrument, it retains a distance and mystery.

Now, assuming you all don't get sidetracked psycho-analysing me, or just laughing - what would you be - AND WHY?

*slaps Galant*

Snap out of it, man! A girlfriend?! Are you NUTS?! Best to just stay away from 'em!

*regains senses*

What? Oh, sorry...er, to answer your question, I agree with you on the violin thing. I'd want to be a violin too. The violin is one of the most expressive instruments in the world.

Or I'd be a kazoo!

I would be a piano. You can play ANY kind of music (save rap (which isn't music IMO) and techno) on one.

Rai

i'd be one of those electric pianos that have all those cool button thingys that can sound like any other instrument, cuz i never have one feeling i'm always random.

You=COOL!

I play the violin and you're right on the money there about it's versatility. Heavy metal to Debussey, if you can think of it then it can be played on the violin. Electric or regular. Mine's a regular one. A Franz Werner model. ^_^

I'd pick the guitar. The why is simmilar to the violin.

A violin, or some really cool sounding african instrument. I would want to be something different, elegant, and familiar. Maybe I would be a dijeradoo(sp).

Does a synthesizer count as an instrument? ^_^; I love electronic music. I would either want to be a synthesizer, a keyboard (for the same reason as CT Girl), or a violin (for Galant's reason).

I've actually thought about this before, and I've come to the conclusion that I would be a piccolo (yes, the instrument, not the DBZ character. >.>; ). I'm a tiny person, and I have a squeaky voice. Some people think I'm annoying, but then I know other who love me to death, apparently.

I think I'd probably be a cello, even though I play the violin. Celli (yes, acceptable plural, just like cellos) are deep, vibrant instruments, and they add a solid framework and rich undertone to pieces. I am deep, vibrant, and I add a solid framework and rich untertone to life; at least, so I've been told. ^_^

isn't it cool how instrument can tell another person about that one person?!

That's cool finding an instrument just like you. ^_^

An instrument most like me would probably be...a guitar, I think. My life just reminds me of the sound of a guitar.

I like Kaemmerite's kazoo answer, too.

I'd be a Moog synthesizer -- old technology that sounds groovy.

Roland MT-32 sounds just about right.

I've never thought about this before.... I play the trombone in band and I like it. It's got a nice range that matches my voice pretty well I think, although it sometimes a bit slow, moving your slide around like that But then, sometimes I'm slow too... like, I'm not a particularly fast runner, and I usually take longer to think about things than most people (in school)

I have a nasal baritonish voice that tends to drone a lot, so I'd probably be a bassoon.

I would be an electric guitar ( even though I play acoustic ). I guess because you can play any kind of music on one. Blues, rock, pop, punk, emo, jazz. You can play anything. So yeah, a guitar.

I am a piano, plainly said.

After playing said instrument for twelve years -- yes, I'm highly musically inclined -- it's something that has grown within me... It is so versitle like my emotions... ranging from brightness to melancholoy with a few minor adjustments. Furthermore, I thoroughly enjoy multi-tasking which you need to be good at when playing a piano, e.g. reading both the bass and treble cleff, using your hands to play two different parts and using your feet to change how the notes are held, et cetera. Oh, I can sing with it, too.

Besides, I have the long, slender fingers of a pianist to begin with. ~_^

If I weren't a piano, though, I would be a cello -- alto, sanguine, and slightly melancholy.

hmmmm thats a tough one.
.............Probably an organ. It has a very large range of sounds and is one of the most complex instruments I know of.

An Ocarina!




Why? *shrugs* Uhh... It's just a cool little flute.....

either a violin or a piano. They both sound the best!

I would be a piano b/c it the most versatile instrument i think.
I've been thinking, piccolo is a wierd name for an instrument.. Just a random thought.
----------

I'd be drums. Because I play drums.

I'd say the violin for all the aforementioned reasons and because it's the first instrument I learned to play.

Moogs rule. Have you ever heard the 'Switched on Bach' album?

An instrument eh?

I would probably be a metronome…

That’s about all the music I can handle.

*CLICK CLICK, CLICK CLICK, CLICK CLICK*

Well, if the instrument is supposed to be a representation of who I think I am. I would have to be a clarinet. Though I don’t particularly enjoy the clarinet, it seams to fit my personality fairly well. Never really a main part, not loud, not high pitched nothing spectacular. Just smooth, cool, friendly and soothing.

Uhhnn what kind of instrument would I be? Uh...*sits down and ponders*
I would be an electric guitar because, like me, they are so cool!

*dodges tomatoes and assorted vegetables* O.o I'm only joking!!!!! *wipes off asparagus from her glasses*

No, I'd prolly be a bass guitar. Why? I dunno, I just like the low sound of it--well, and my dad plays it.

As much as I dislike it...I used to like playing it...If I were an instrument, I would be the piano. I love pressing the keys quickly and precisely to bring forth muuuuuusic...I like playing fast, flowing songs....

But...I don't know exactly why I'd be a piano...I just think so cuz I like it better than any other instruments..^^u

I love the explanations of those who like the cello. This is by far the most beautiful sounding instrument to me. It's very mellow and it's not too low, yet it is not a high pitched instrument. It is like me, and alto. I play guitar, but feel more at one with the beautiful cello. When it cries, it is a somber and serious sadness, when it is happy, it is not overbearing - it just is.

A piano. The reason being that I've played the piano since I was 4, and because of it, have a strong attachment to them.
