bassoons remind me of ducks :)

Either accordion or trombone or violin. I really can't pick one over the other.

contrabass clarinet, i wish i could afford one and learn to play it

To listen to or play? To listen to it's probably the accordion.

>>71532147
Either one!

The contrabass has some amazing low notes, but I've always found that the sound quality gets pretty bad once you go below a normal bass clarinet. Perhaps I've never listened to a good contrabass though.

Pipe organ. No other instrument in the history of the human race can hold a candle to the level of craftsmanship and knowledge that goes into making a pipe organ possible.

Pianos go beyond a Pipe organ. they have dynamic control over each string. you can't play an organ "soft" or "hard", you're stuck with whatever registers you got. the amount of knowledge for making the action is way more than a pipe organ too. people hype it up due to physical size, but a piano is still the most complex, yet elegant instrument due to polyphony and dynamic control of volume and timbre.

looks more complicated than an airliner cockpit.

>>71532240
well, I'd say that a pipe organ in an old church is quite the instrument. You need the right acoustics

synth

Nevermind my >>71532147 meme answer. This is it. Accordion second. Electric guitar third.

Eb Baritone Saxophone. The best instrument ever imo with one of the richest sounds you can get out of a wind instrument. That or the Bb Bass Clarinet, which is what I play professionally.

I disagree. I'm a pianist myself and I love pianos, they're astounding instruments, and probably second to the organ in that regard. The mechanism of the action alone in a grand piano is remarkably sophisticated, without even getting into the process of making the body or crafting the soundboard, etc. I do think that the piano is, in a sense, the king of all instruments, perfect for composition and easily one of the hardest to master, if not the hardest.

But the pipe organ has it beaten in terms of craftsmanship and sophistication. Pipe organs can be massive instruments with insane ranges consisting of hundreds or thousands of individual pipes--all of which have to be meticulously crafted and positioned and connected. The manual alone is very complex, considering all the keys and levels and switches and foot pedals, etc. But when you consider the instrument as a whole, and how it's as much a work of architecture as it is a work of instrumental artisanship, nothing can hold a candle to it.
