What's the saddest instrument, /mu/? That is to say, what

Violin

Theremin

theremin, def

Tuba

Definitely the piano

yo momma when she talks about you

mayonaise

808 bass

definitely the banjo

Definitely the kazoo

the vibraslap without a shadow of a doubt

The human voice.

gong

ukelele

>>69731091
this 100%

otherwise piano or cello

can't think of a sadder sounding instrument than the slide whistle

Sine wave

>>69731091
sad, sad sad sad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah7jZeMas70

the sound of silence

saw or theremin

Definitely the banjo, followed closely by the kazoo

>>69731036
>>69731127
>>69731097
>tfw you will never see an orchestra comprised solely of these

Piano, magic box, harp, viola/in

>>69731194
If I had the resources I would write a suite for kazoo-gong-slide whistle trio just for you. And I would make it so sad and melancholic it would make Stockhausen cry.

>>69731194
holy shit

No doubt the Bongos

Never been moved to tears by an instrument other than the triangle

>>69731150
not this pls

only real patricians would think atonal instruments are the saddest

Cor anglais.

>>69731531
Instruments can't be atonal, you ridiculous person.

>>69731557
try again

>>69730816
Human voice if it counts, otherwise the cello

>>69731621
Instruments can't be atonal, you ridiculous person.

>>69731715
>le spooky halloween sound
Grow up and listen to the Ondes Martenot

>>69731741

>>69731743

That's one of their weakest albums, made even worse by the fact that it came after one of their best

Chord organ

I'd say the banjo

>>69731833
>one of their weakest albums
everyone seems to say that but i've never found a solid reason as to why. it's one of my favorites by them. it's so pretty and minimal

>even worse by the fact that it came after one of their best
haunted waves? i haven't listened to that one yet. should i check it out?

>>69731715
This is great, thanks

No, man, Baalstorm Sing Omega. And the reason I think it's one of their weakest is because it takes the BSO formula and waters it down until there's nothing but what feels like a large number of interludes sewn together into full length tracks

I still like it, though

>>69731740
are you autistic? If the percussion isn't tuned it will sound out of key.

>>69731740
1- Record the sound of a percussive instrument.
2- Open the audio in audacity or similar
3- Change pitch
4- ???
5- all sounds have a pitch you unaccustomed imbecile

>>69731986
>edit pitch in a software
>WOAH THE INSTRUMENT ISN'T ATONAL

>>69732165
>missing the point this hard
If it can be changed, it exists. Every sound IS a pitch, nothing that produces sound is "atonal".

>>69732165
monotonal =/= atonal, gobshite

>itt: comedy instruments
OP didn't ask for the most pathetic instruments, but for most sorrowful
I'd say it's the oboe

Hey /mu/, what's the saddest piece of construction equipment? That is to say, what piece of construction equipment is the best at producing an air of melancholy and depression?

>>69733151
that could be lots of things. it could be guitar, it could be computer, it could be flute ... THAT's why this question is dumb

It has to be the Erhu

I'm planning on getting one of these beautiful instruments soon, can't wait to get a chance to play it.

>>69734045
I would love one, but I have no idea of the learning curve or price. Maybe someday

As of now, I just play pentatonic minor scales on a banjo with a cello bow, and it's a somewhat similar sound

>>69733871
>>69730907

both these instruments are in an episode of High Maintenance (the HBO show)

the dad character is miserly and plays an erhu in the subway while his son is a successful musician playing a theremin
