My favourite instrument of all HAS to be the Violin.

The sound and the feel, and its use in so many different music genres, most notably darkwave.

Electric Violin is also a possibilty.

My other favourite instruments are the Guitar/electric Guitar, Piano and the Cello.

As for what I own, I have a good quality yamaha keyboard and a £300 electric-acoustic Tanglewood Guitar.

Post your favourite instruments, and what you own.

I always have difficulty picking favourites of anything. If I listed all the instruments I'm fond of, it would be a long list...

Here's a picture of my instruments. There is also a zither somewhere that needs to be restrung.

an instrument that can make loads of different sounds, stuff like classical instruments arent very flexible on their own compared to a synth or a guitar with sixty gazillion effects.

+1. It's so beautiful sounding, and it looks great when you play it as well.

I own and play a bass.

Guitar
Violin
Piano
Bass

It gets a little fuzzy after that...

and I have all those except bass. And I suck at playing my violin, right now. But I'm starting to get interested in it again, and might actually have an opportunity to play it more, so I might get better at it. Alternatively, I'll just buy a fretted Viper violin from Wood Violins.

I adore synthesizers the most, yet I feel sad I can't play with keys that well.

Basses and drums are also quite cool. And guitars after them. There was also some african instrument which had cool sound... or many.

Violin - Fun, but hard to play:(
Mandolin - Fun, but easy to play for the most part.
Guitar - Sorta less fun lately. Fun with other people though.

I picked up a Violin and after 3 hours of learning the scales and stuff, I could play some parts of Nothing Else Matters.

It aint that hard.

Piano.

Then acoustic guitar. ( > Electric guitar)

A song with piano + acoustic guitar = win.

Its mostly getting intonation correct, harder than a fretted/key instrument. For the most part, I read standard notation and play multiple part stuff with other people, so its a bit harder than playing alone. It -is- fun to play with others though.

Godin Exit 22. so sweet, so well built, so versatile. and has a very low profile look which rocks.

LTD Deluxe H-1000, hand made, beautiful. a killer guitar.

Can't really decide which of these two is my favorite. both are so different. maple 22 fret 24¾ fretboard and a thick mahogany body. and the other is another maple-mahogany compo but with rosewood fretboard and a set-neck. sweet.

stringed instrument obsession anyone?

i prefer valved brass instruments. i can play them all. trumpet, cornet, tuba, susaphone, baritone, french horn, flugelhorn, mellophone, picolo trumpet. i own three trumpet's. 2 classic holton's and a brand new yamaha xeno, as of the seventh.

piano, guitar, i can play. woodwind and orchestra instruments always gave me problems.
