Electric Guitar  Nice to play. Most are nice to look at. A great thing for me to wreck my fingers on during wasted hours whenever I can be bothered to learn. Quite nice to listen to in the right hands. Certainly not mine.

Sax-o-ma-phone  Again, a very nice instrument to play, so long as you're stronger than me. Played one for three months. Should pick one up again within the next year.

Acoustic Guitar  Great instrument. Lovely to play, to learn, and to get stuck into. Though I still have a lot to learn on this instrument, I love playing on them, and I love listening to them whenever I can.

Piano   The best instrument in the world. Ever. Period. Lovely to get expression into the playing whenever you want.

Flute   A very nice instrument to play, so long as you get technique right. I have played one on and off for a couple years whenever I can, and though I need a lot more practice...

Trombone   An underrated instrument, in my opinion. Whenever I try, I can never get my right arm working right on the ol' slide, but when I do, I can sure play a good tune...

Harmonica   A nice instrument. Have played one for a while. Now my mouth's forever stuck to one side trying to play only one note, and not three, at the same time, whenever I play. I got a nice metal one for my last birthday. Yay.

Bass   Delicious to eat. One of my favourite species of fish. As for the instrument... yeah, it's good to play. Quite annoying, though.

Bass Guitar   Very nice to play, as soon as you get tuning right. Used to play a four and a five string bass myself. I used to always play mine with a thimble... any kind of guitar, for that matter.

Drums   Lovely to play, to get stuck into, and just to go crazy about. My hi-hat broke yesterday :( so that's kind of a bummer, but I can fix it easily.

Banjo   Again, ditto, lovely to play, and just lovely to pick without having to get your fingers in a mess.

Mandolin   Beautiful instrument. Possibly the most underrated in terms of playing, which I love to do. Unfortunately I haven't currently got one on me, though I'm hoping that will change.

Electric Drums   A nice instrument. A little bit of change from the acoustic sound, and having to do everything you want, because it all has to be at your control.

Trumpet    A great sound. Except for when I play it. I end up sounding like so many ice cream trucks coming down the road.

Keyboard   Electric, I presume? I bought one of these recently at a magnanamous cost. Aside from being on the internet, I've not been off it since, in my little funky recording studio which I invented by myself. Great instrument.

Organ   Very nice. I've been playing one for a year or so now, and the amount of different stuff I can do with it compared with a piano is... too much. Sound quality can be totally altered which makes it so much better.

Didge   Hard to play. I've tried on a couple of occasions, and I just can't get enough air into my tiny little lungs. Besides, they sound like my dad snoring.

Electric Guitar- The greatest instrument in my opinion, endless possibilities with distortion. Anything from an LFO wah to an Explosion.

Saxaphone- A great jazz instrument, I have never had the chance to play one of these.

Acoustic Guitar- If it werent for this instrument, there would be no electric guitar, this instrument has a long history with blues.

Piano- I don't particularly like this instrument, my parents make me play it.  :P

Flute- Not for me.

Trombone- Another good jazz instrument.

Harmonica- I like this one, I used to play (not very well), but it is an underated instrument.

Bass- ok in jazz.

Bass Guitar- A great instrument, my second favourite.

Drums- The keeper of the beat. A great instrument

Banjo- Dueling banjos rule's.

Mandolin- Not for me.

Electric Drums- Crap

Trumpet- Good in proper hands.

Keyboard- Better than Piano, but still not for me.

Organ- see Keyboard.

Didgeridoo- I don't mind this one. My cousin told me to play this properly you have to breath through your nose and out your mouth at the same time.
