Songster Bob Worst Instrument Ever? (132* d) RE: Worst Instrument Ever? 02 Mar 07


"Trouble is that 99% of people who 'play?' bodhrans are utterly useless and someone should tell them so!"

... so they're modhrans?

It looks like we're coming to a near-consensus, but maybe we should categorize the top contestants:

Strings: bowed psaltery, hurdy-gurdy
Free Reeds: harmonica, melodeon, bagpipe
Brass: No consensus, but krummhorn mentioned
Percussion: shakey egg, spoons, bones
Vocal: June Tabor, Bob Dylan (not mentioned but implied by several)

and, lastly,

Players: All the ham-handed, poorly-trained, tone-deaf twits who have somehow managed to learn to hold any of the above instruments and inflict their efforts on poor, unsuspecting passers-by like us.

Does this sum it up for now?

Bob
