what is the most fashionable instrument to play? i vote violin

Theremin, sounds cool as fuck and you get to do spooky hand motions that are very effay

>>11874180
Though for traditional instruments, cello wins

>>11874178
Cello or piano.

>>11874178
cello, until you are apocalyptica tier fag

Saxophone?

Violin, cello, or piano if you play mostly classical music. Guitar if you're playing newer stuff.

Cello>>>>Violin>Double Bass>>>>>>>Viola

t.not a cellist

>>11874220
Viola is great fuck off with your pussy ears

>tfw you didn't start learning an instrument in school

i could be a god by now

>>11874282
Its never too late retard. Unless yr really old and have arthritis or something lol

>>11874195
saxophone

>>11874305
sexophone

Harmonica

>>11874257
Viola is the oboe of the strings section. Don't be mad you picked the worst instrument.

>>11874366
Viola btfo.

>>11874366
uneducated fag here, what makes the viola bad compared to say the violin?

>>11874178
Double bass. Standing in the back all intense like

>>11874400
It fills an unnecessary spot in an orchestra. It doesn't go as high as a violin, a cello can cover its lower range, and it always gets shitty parts to play.

>>11874178
double bass no contest

>>11874400
It has an ugly sound because its body is too small for the lower notes that it plays.

Just curious, why do violas have their own clef?

Tenor Saxophone are all pretty effay

>>11874550
Tenor sax is best sax btw

>>11874494
There are notes that it plays that are too low for treble clef and too high for bass clef. Tenor clef (the one used for viola) allows its range of notes to be more centered on the staff.

>>11874584
Whoops, meant to say alto clef

I play drums, the singing saw, bass, guitar, piano, melodica, and accordion

Am I effay?

>>11874584
>>11874586
I guess it's easier to read than the double staff pianos use.

>>11874589
Maybe, depends on your other hobbies.

Are modular synthesizers /fa/? I feel like they are due to all the sounds you can make.

trombone

>>11874589
depends are you actually any good at any of them

>>11874644
>>11874603
Drums and singing saw I'm quite good at
Guitar, melodica, and bass I'm adequate at, good enough to record with but not much more
The rest I'm still teaching myself

Accordions are fucking impossible

cello
piano
carillon
bassoon

percussion occasionally

Fender Rhodes specifically

Indian culture is pretty shit. The sitar is a fucking incredible instrument though. I could listen to it for ages

>>11874737
Also it's really difficult to play well. Adding to the /fa/ nature of it

Hammond Organ

i've been playing the violin for about 6 years now

i still kinda blow at it but it's fun and my orchestra is so big that if you fuck up nobody notices

>>11875064
come to think of it, a lot of violinists aren't fashionable at all except for a select few. people who play in orchestras tend to be unattractive/dress weird in my experience with them

I grew up in kinda footloose kind of country. Music was supposedly wrong.
I learned guitar myself when I was 18. 22 now and can also play piano, bass guitar and organ.
Never give up.

I don't know whether it's effay or not to play bass. A worn Jazz or P-Bass can look cool as fuck while all these "futuristic" designs look corny as hell.

Voice & Piano here too, don't have the classical training but got the classical strong vibrato and big range from forcing myself to learn to sing like Bruce Dickinson in the shower.

But in my opinion, no musical instrument in itself is as fashionable as composing music.

I've put $23,000 into analogue synths. I'll meme as hard as I want

>>11879499
Also, what's the problem with analogue? It's just a tad more involved than digital and I think the learning curve to it makes it much more /fa/

>>11879519

Being a musician isn't fashionable at all, sorry to be the one to tell you kids this.

There isn't anything fashionable about being part of a servant class.

There isn't anything fashionable about it.

>>11879625
What about composers?

>>11879595
That second statement is painfuly accurate

>tfw very average pianist and guitarist, and people still shower me with compliments whenever I play anything in public

Dread to think how easy it is for genuinely talented musicians to get laid desu. I'm shy and typically prefer to play music just for myself so I don't exploit this, but I'm sure I could be using it to my advantage pretty easily.
