What would you like to try? (singer, bass, house, jazz)

the thumb piano, french horn, because of its intricate design and legendary history. one day a troubador with a really long aluminum horn thing threw it beacause he was mad, and then it sounded better. oh, there is nothing classier. or the kazoo,

Harp and Saxophone

Anyone know anything about playing sax? I want to learn this summer, thinking about taking lessons. Anything I should know about it? Is it very difficult to play? What type is best to learn on? Alto?

Harp is such a fun instrument!!! It looks really hard, but the strings are color coded which helps a lot.

They should do that with guitar strings. Color code each fret with a note color. That would be funny.

A little too easy in my opinion for a guitar, but great for a harp. They just have way too many strings.

Ah yes as Kurt Cobain said "What are they tuning, a harp?"

I think a hammer dulcimer would be fun, since it's more like playing drums, than playing a guitar. I'd also like to learn the typical drumset, as I'm only playing a djembe, right now.

To me, the violen doesn't look too awful hard, but I suppose it could be one of those things that people make look soooo easy, but isan't. I'm gonna give it a shot one of these days and see what happens.
