Favorite Musical Instrument To Listen To

13 years ago

Which ever one I am playing, learning to play, or about to learn.
The one exception is the Uilleann pipes which I love to listen to but don't see me learning.

Thanks

Guitar is on most of my music, but I could listen to Hilary Hahn or anyone of that caliber play the violin all day.

I love Bagpipes #1 - Ulillean especially (which is pipe without bag).

I love Alto Sax -

I love the Tambura (Indian drone) #1A

I love the Sitar

I love the Turkish Sipsi and Zurna #1 B

I can't play a thing but I love music and think in most cases the drums are one of the most important elements to any music (the heart beat if you will).

Thanks

Here's 2 of my favorites. Liam O Flynn's is hands down one of the best Ulillean players I've ever heard.

Hi Thom - I had one of Liams in my bookmarks - listen how different though (not jig)

The Liam video was great. Always interesting to hear how an who someone trained under. Those pipes are an extremely difficult instrument to play. Those notes that sound like chords are played with the wrist pressing on the keys.
The Seamus tune I was listening to this morning

The third one was wild. It sounded like 100 Kazoos to me

I did really like it and bookmarked it.

I think you guys should give some ear to less refined musical instruments and get the feel of rediscovering music as i did. Here i was thinking nothing could outdo the bass guitar, then i heard the "wandidi". Sound funny in name, but has a totally different sound in spirit.

Those are Kalimba's inside gourds for amplification.

  I've watched that video a few times before, they are good.
  There's a few different versions of that drum around.
  It's funny, for the first time in my life I'm pissed at how old I am.
  I spent most of my life playing a drum kit and on occasion congas.
  Now since I got the Bodhran I have a strong desire to learn other instruments. I already ordered a Generation Pennywhistle and as a reward for when I learn to play it I'll start buying instruments from this guy http://www.eriktheflutemaker.com
  add to that mess the drums I want and even 30 more years won't be enough time

Thom,

It's great that you are still involved in some form of making music - that is what I always think is so awesome with artists - they are always multi-talented - the musician who plays more than one instrument and/or paints, or writes to me is genius.

It is a great thing there are 'more gentle' instruments than drums so that when you are really a codger you won't break anything! LOL!

I really hope you do always stay 'tuned in'.

Funny story - tripping at youtube on all the 'odd music' and exotic instruments and in the middle of the kalimba, hang drum, hapi drum and etc.

I see there is a video for a dryer drum and I am oh cool another drum.

WTH? - instructions on repairing your clothes dryer! LOL.

I will be playing mine tonight... Finally something I can play!

Nobody mentions computer as an instrument and I know to some they think electronic music is really not art - granted some is really cheesy 'electronica'.

This is pretty far out though - I have always loved 'experimental' and industrial music so it is kind of fusion, eh?

Those hang drums are great! Never saw that done before.

I play piano/keyboard but what I like to listen to are

banjo
fiddle/violin
alto sax
bagpipes

Don't care too much for country music - but I love good bluegrass. Don't like reggae but enjoy instrumental zydeco and New Orleans jazz.

Whether classical or Meatloaf - I prefer uptempo music.
