Most Common Musical Instruments

I've been playing for 3 months, I can play most bluegrass songs and I've been getting into intermediate chords without teaching (not meaning to bragg).

GUITAR IS THE BEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT TO ME

It feels so good to play the acoustic guitar.

guitar is awesome i've been playing it for 3 years now and it's really easy to learn and play... sometimes it's hard but not always and i'm really good (not bragging)

I LOVE THE GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!... but really the guitar is really sweat. I've been playing for less than a year, and I'm not bad. Not meaning to brag.

love acoustic sound but sometimes really love electric guitar

classical guitar is the best

iknow absolutely nothin' 'bout guitars but...well...they seem pretty cool

I am 12, and have played the guitar for 2 years now, and it is an easy thing to learn but hard to play.

the sound of the guitar is ALL !

They never get to old to play.

Guitars are AWESOME I am a huge fan of country music and I love the sound

I love guitar, i have been playing guitar for 4-5 years and I have NEVER gotten tired of it. You can't do solos on clarinet, or ANY other insrument like guitar

guitar is cool

Piano is great. It is very entertaining. I have started when I was five, and found it very interesting! I recommend this instrument to people who never played an instrument but wants to. It's very easy, although fun, too!

PIANOS ARE EPIC!!! :)

Best!

I have now been playing the piano for more than five years, and still enjoy it greatly. Highly suggested for anyone wanting to play an instrument but don't know which.

I played the piano for 5 years and i am still going strong.

PIANO IS THE BEST!!! I played the piano for 6 years. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS INSTRUMENT TO EVERYONE!!!!

I DO PIANO AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Piano is so awesome!!! I have only played 3 months and I love it!!!

The best instrument and I've played it since I was 5 years old. The music it produces is honestly the sweetest. And in the majority of the songs, you can hear the piano.

i played piano for 7yrs and im stil going.

piano is awesome

Love playing/listening to It

I would say the piano and violin is the most used instrument since every person usually plays it in elementary,middle school,etc. there are like hundreds in symphonies.

I love the violin~ Playing it just for 6 months it's amazing

I love the violin. It sounds amazing! Techniques are more difficult to learn though. I'm 20 and I still play it! (I started when I was 8)

I play the violin and it's amazing. It takes a while to learn techniques, though.

I love the violin, it's awesome!!!

violin is the best instrument in the world.its versatility is endless. you can do classical, school band/orchestra, jazz, rock, big band, blues, bluegrass, and marching band (rare) (Kentucky state high school band) violins are amazing

im starting to learn the violin and the sound it makes is amazing.

you can do classical jazz rock pop country or bluegrass music

THE BEST INSTRUMENT IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best without doubt

i love the sound

It is peaceful and and Fun to play

I play the flute and its hard at first but I am good at it now its the insturment I have played

I think that the piano is awesome because you learn about different but interesring pieces

It's hard at first, but rewarding once you get it the first time!

I'm 10 and flute is the first instrument i ever played and its amazing and fun and makes beautifull sound

I'm trying to find another instrument to play, and this is taking my fancy

I love flute! I've just started at the beginning of the school year, but it is awesome! Go flute!

flute is a pretty common instrument but reveals amazing music once you get the hang of it

i love the violin i play it in elementry school

FLUTES RULE!! and so do everyone who plays them :)

Flute is Number 2 at least it rocks

flute rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beatiful sound and I am amazing at it and I started a month ago!

its is the best instrument everr!

its easy to learn

Drums are the best! They should be way higher on this list.

I've been playing drums for 4 years and drum set for 3 years and realize they are a vital instrument to ALL bands and songs and that they just plainly kick butt!

i love the drums they are the best instrument ever they are sooooo fun to play and tey should be #1 on the list

^actually youre right, they are indeed used everywhere all over the world, except it's usually another form of percussion, not always a drum kit.

Drums should be number 1, they are used in every culture throughout history, and are in almost every genre of music.

this is a very fun & easy instrument to play especially the tenor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

saxophones produce beautiful jazz music

There actually are voice lessons.

We may not have lessons on my voice but we can enjoy it as a hobby.

im not a singer :3

It's like talking but with melody. ~graciasnic

my voice ain't a very good instrument..hehe...i normally do silent singing cuz if the windows hear my voice they're sure to get cracked....

its awsome man yeah you talk you sing

They are not mini guitars there pure awesomeness UKULELE!!!!!

ukuleles are simply AWESOME!!

Mini guitars LOLZ

FUNKY!!!! THERE SOOOO CUTE!!!!!

Love it!

Clarinet is AWESOME!!!

I play the clarinet t is the best inistrument in the world i think the clarinet should be number 1 on this list not piano. not many people play the piano.if my clarinet broke i would be sad :(

i like flute better

I play bass clarinet and b flat. This should so be nos 1!!!!!!!

i play the clarinet and i love playing it but mine is in the shop now so i can't play it for a couple weeks :( that is sad but other than that the other kids i know say it is the best instrument ever known to man i also agree with the other people that the clarinet should be #1 no compitition

Used to play clarinet. Now play BASS CLARINET! So fun!

love the clarinet like needs 2 b #1

I used to play the clarinet

what? only # 30 it is like the second biggest band instrament in my band, people wise at least

How's it "cool"?

Yes, it should be higher, it's easy, cool, and soft to play.

why is electric guitar after bass guitar? guitars are MUCH more common than any of these other instruments

should be higher

I have just started Band and for my evaluation test i got a 10 on Trumpet 9 on Sax and Clarinet 8 on trombone 7 on flute and a stupid 5 on Drums! But i picked the Trumpet, AND ITS AWESOME!!!

Trumpets are awesome!!

when does it not have a solo?

My friend plays bass guitar, and its one of my favorite types of guitar.

fffffttttt

Tomska plays the bass :3 It has checkers on it, In real life! Not only in the cartoon! How epic is that???

I love bass, cause it's easy to play. I got this when I played guitar. But not as much guitar, 6 strings.........

Keyboards are usually electronic, and can make many different noises.

I play the electronic keyboard. It is so fun to play!

I will clear this up for you. The keyboard is technically a type of instrument (Piano, Harpsichord, Organ etc..) But the electric keyboard is called this because of its variety of sounds, which links back into the type of instrument. So a Piano is a keyboard, but a keyboard is not neccesarily a piano. Has that cleared things up?

I thought that keyboards were a category of instruments.

well i guess piano is no easily portable whereas key board is

Don't you understand? Piano and keyboard a the same thing!!!

I will like to know the difference between the piano and the keyboard

I have just started playing cello. It has a beautiful sound and is very rich. It is a little difficult for people who have never played an instrument before, though!

Cello is a beatiful instrument...

agreed. cello can play all of the awesome classical stuff along with heavy metal and solos. The most beautiful instrument in the world. Ever heard of Apocalyptica?

Cello is awesome! it should be first! i have been playing for about 2 years and its amazing!

Double basses are awesome because the sound to me sounds like melting chocolate :)

The piccolo rocks!

Piccolo is so much fun but can actually make you deaf if you play it in a closed room

yes it is, also the name of a character in DBZ. that why I like it!!

yo man piccolo is roking the house

Been playing the trombone for 4 years... It's actually one of the hardest instruments to play according to most musicians. It's the base of the band, and without it, the whole band would be off. Keeps timing, sounds great, has unique features, great timbre, and definitely has a great brassy sound! Is the only instrument with a slide. Can be used in almost any type of music, looks cool, and is used in modern songs!

Trombones are unique, being one of the only instruments that uses a slide. They are easy to learn, and difficult to master. Awesome.

I play many instruments, but trombone is by far my favorite!

i play trombone it's fun!

Good for Jazz and in can be used as the melody or the rhythm. Also good for ballads.

Love me that Ocarina! Whoo!

Harmonica is so much fun. You can play it with blues, country, bluegrass, rock n roll, funk, jazz, gospel, and folk.

Has A Nice Sound

This part is about oboes not flutes

Flute players are not whiny! I have straight A's and I play flute. I am not whiny. Stop offending flutes. Tell that to your band director.

My band teacher told us that flute players are whiny, but oboe players have to be smart. We got a nice little whine from our flute players, proving his theory to be true.

I love playing the french horn. They say its hard to play, and I agree with that, but it gets easier after a month or two.

I love my French Horn, I would die if i didnt play French Horn

my bad, french horn is no longer behind bagpipes

French horn should be number 1 on this list. cant believe bagpipes is ahead of it.

I play French Horn I love it I play TRUMPET AND KEYBOARD TOO

A lute is a medieval guitar, FYI

What's a lute?

Love bagpipe

Bagpipes are here twice. Fix please, change one to tenor saxophone or something.

Its just trditional

chyea

Violas are awesome and they sound good!

So many viola jokes...

how on earth is this this high? the category is MOST COMMON instrument, not best instrument. Most people in my school haven't even heard of the viola. Not saying viola isn't awesome. Indeed it is.

The viola should be higher up. It has such a beautiful sound, and it deserves more attention.

I love the sound of the viola

Aaahhhh I love my tuba, I'd die without it

Tuba's sound so cool!

mandolins RULE!!!

monster machine of keys. I am happy to be on oboe instead of bassoon. i used to play it though. i bought a plastic one. Horrible idea

You phonium!

Its a type of horn, shaped like a small tuba.

What's a euphonium?

meow

I agree. Snares are vital.

Love banjo

Banjo=best instrument (one of them)

Like the sound!

Love it, Hindu!!!!

SITARS are cool!!!

Love it. Cause i'm Hindu!

It sounds ethereal..

I'm really good at recorder...I started a few months ago-VERY easy so I recommend it for people who don't play any instrument yet.

Why is it 43, most people play the recorder once in their life.

Recorders sound alright but I will NEVER be able to like playing pinched notes.

I played it in primary school and went to recorder workshop and people came from a 30 mile radius.

Stupid that it isn't always regarded as an instrument. If it doesn't sound good, you're playing it wrong. Great fun, my secondary instrument for school and not because I think it's easy or whatever.

oooo...im' 13 and i still luv recorder..hehe...its fun

Hate it!

recorder is soooooo boring i have to play it in school

everyone played it first

My brother plays, he drives me INSANE!!!

I was never fond of the recorder.

Epic :-)

Its an electric guitar neck on a stand.

What is a petal steel guitar????????

Interesting...

DJS 4 EVER

SO not an instrument.

I don't think this is an instrument.

That's not an instrument.

That's not an instrument. It's a game. You already talked about the guitar.

It makes noises just as well as any first year guitar student can. :D
