What is the Hardest Instrument? #shorts

[Frostflame]

Let me say as a double bassist, my go to line about a bass’ difficulty is “the hardest part about a concert is getting there”

[CorruptdKetchup]

“I’m not listening to your argument” is perfect for the situation

[laiton]

“I also enjoy watching the cellos and violas seethe in the comments” 😂

"I make the intonation, tune quality, and sound quality every time i play" - every wind instruments player ever

[bruhmmnt]

Meanwhile highland bagpipes in the corner having 4 reeds, being unable to stop, requiring skill to not be an embarassment due to volume, requiring constant sound quality adjustments with the elbow and needing to actually be *in shape* to not only play well but play at all

[oj_Twigg]

Oboe being straight up ignored is so real

[kristalynwhitmire]

Banjos be chill. Never met a banjo giy I didn't vibe with.

Us drummers in the corner: **BA DUM TISS**

French Horn player here. Yes it is tough... You need dedication, especially considering the amount of 1 finger and 0 finger notes you play in one

Edit: ok guys chill 700 likes is a TON! calm down, ik you agree, but chill, pls...

The piccolo is pretty hard to play without sounding like spit the whole time, so any piccolo player that just doesnt sound that way is very skilled by default.

Poor Viola it's like telling the middle child they're not even being called a family member. But the next-door neighbor Double Bass is.

Ty for the respect violin guy, flute player here

If I had to break it down by instrument sections:
Woodwinds- Oboes (or any double reeded instrument)
This is because of how much you have to do to have good tone, technique, and control. The tiniest of things can easily affect your tone quality and your air support. If you can’t support your air, then double reeds will be your Kryptonite.
Brass- French Horn
You can play a lot without pressing a single valve; in fact you can play some music with only the hand in the bell. This is how many partials you are using to play the French Horn. There is so much you can do that you become scared of your horn.
Percussion- Piano/Organ
Pianos are pretty hard and require time, practice and patience to make progress. An organ however is a keyboard final boss. Not only are you dealing with more keys and have two to five rows to work with, you have foot pedals of twenty four keys and two whole control panels to work with. With any organ, you have a consistent battle against physics and coordination while playing.
Strings- Violins (along with viola, violoncello, and contrabass/double bass)
Unlike anything other instruments, these stringed instruments have no guidelines on all the notes to play. So you can put your finger on the fingerboard of any of these instruments and you’ll find out that you are playing A-half-sharp while you should be playing B. Each of these instruments comes with their own perks of difficulty that you have to deal with.

The reason why I know that 99% of this information is true is because I have played some of these instruments. I haven’t played the violin, cello, contrabass and organ but I do want to know more about them.

Classical and flamenco guitarist sitting in the corner: did you say tone, intonation, and tambre? We are an orchestra

[EllisWensel]

"I'm representing the whole string family"-, proceeds to not mention viola 😂

[rocketgmd]

brass when they realise that "p" means "piano" instead of "put your lips against the instrument and blow as hard as you physically can"

[HopefullyExisting]

As a viola player, my reaction to this was 'WELL, UH, MINES HEAVIER'
