This is going off thread, but bagpipes are by far the worst musical instrument ever aren't they? Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 26, 2020 Moderators Posted March 26, 2020 I would put the accordion right up there. I think it might be my least favourite instrument. There was a time in the early 2000s when you couldn't move for accordion playing Romanians on the tube and my nightmare was forgetting my headphones before a journey. Quote
Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 26, 2020 Moderators Posted March 26, 2020 It's easily the bagpipes. My Scottish mate Bill Dundee (not that one) fucking despises them himself. He bought some from an auction just to burn. Quote

Members Arn Anderson's Darb Posted March 26, 2020 Members Posted March 26, 2020 It's definitely the recorder. I don't think I've ever heard one played well and even if was it would still be slightly off key, off tempo and listened to whilst sat on a parquet floor. Quote

Nah, there was that big panpipe Banger from the 90s, so they get a pass. Edit: Enigma-Sadeness. Tune Edited March 26, 2020 by SuperBacon Quote

That's a shout Quote
Guest Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Came in here to nominate the recorder also. Bagpipes can potentially sound good in the right setting with the right tune and skill, but the recorder has yet to be redeemed by anybody anywhere. Quote

Search 'Baker Street flutedrop' in YouTube. Panpipes and accordians have a place. Bagpipes don't. It's just wheezing mess. Quote
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted March 27, 2020 Paid Members Posted March 27, 2020 Bagpipes as an ensemble and played well sound fantastic. A lone piper that can't keep it in tune and overcompensating with grace notes is just asking to be executed. Personally I hate the clarinet. It just sounds smug. Quote
Hugh Thesz Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 The Stroh violin aka violin trumpet is something I have never seen played well by any busker in Glasgow  Quote
Joe Blog Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Any instrument in the hands of Chris Martin. Quote
Wideload90 Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Already covered but it's definitely the recorder. Anything else is wrong. Quote
