This is going off thread, but bagpipes are by far the worst musical instrument ever aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 26, 2020 Moderators Share 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.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 26, 2020 Moderators Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Arn Anderson's Darb Posted March 26, 2020 Members Share 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.

Nah, there was that big panpipe Banger from the 90s, so they get a pass. Edit: Enigma-Sadeness.

Guest Posted March 26, 2020 Share 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.

Search 'Baker Street flutedrop' in YouTube. Panpipes and accordians have a place. Bagpipes don't. It's just wheezing mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted March 27, 2020 Paid Members Share 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.
