What would you say is the hardest instrument to learn and why?
What would you say is the hardest instrument to learn and why?
The hardest instrument by far is, the very instrument you are attempting to learn, mainly because you do not know the language of music, (Notes) and then comes the physical playing of said instrument, placing your fingers, tongue, lips in the correct position which are not positions you have ever done before on your own, then coordination of fingers, hand, bow if needed.
Might as well give up it's to difficult.
Good response. But why give up? Then you’ll look back and wish you didn’t give up.
Which instruments did you play, or rather attempted to learn?I know what you mean, I do regret it all the time.
I forgot to mention the calluses you will have to not only develop, but maintain otherwise you will have to go through the process of building them all over again.

I sing like an Angel.
It depends on exactly what you mean. With instruments that are in some senses easier, like the piano, musicians are expected to do much more (in terms of playing multiple notes at the same time).
There are multiple, quite different, milestones, like (1) how long does it take before you can play "Mary had a Little Lamb"? and (2) how long does it take before you can play like a professional?
Guitar, Trumpet, Harmonica, Irish Whistle, Violin.
The only thing that I can play is my Radio, but I sing like an Angel.
I sing like an angel too. In my case, like a fallen angel, unfortunately.
My uncle used to play the saw !!
That is difficult with being able to bow and maintain the right tension...
My father built the first electrified autoharp we know of and played it on the radio in 1944.
It had 96 cords.
He also built an upright harp and played it...
You cant play cords on a saw silly...
Seriously though I think it would be among the hardest to play...
