Geeeezus! Frickin' duplicate threads and making me repost! I have the day off from work, thank you very much, I shouldn't have to have extra toil over a keyboard. Anyway, I even had to work my fingertips to the bone and cut and paste my previous comment from the thread: My personal preference has been the acoustic guitar for a number of years, particularly since I contracted tinnitus in my right ear from overly loud amplifiers. Now, no more poll reposts, please. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

nah... it wasn't like Ian was a viruoso on it . He struck the pose and the legend was born. It just made it easier for half-assed internet arguments to trump up their impact on prog so people could beam them into disucssions of greatest prog artists that they had zero reason for being in. Oh that band has a flute... see.. Tull influenced them! ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Ian is an even better acoustic guitarist than a flautist. Plus, of course, the multiple other instruments he has played: saxophone, harmonica, mandolin, mandocello, electric guitar, bass, keyboards, bouzouki, balalaika, penny whistles and the almighty claghorn! All done quite progressively, of course. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

So many instruments... I find it too hard to choose between piano, acoustic guitar and synths. So I choose to cut this tie and go for something else. The didgeridoo? Almost, but I think I prefer the theremin. -------------

An electric guitar played by Andy Latimer, Steve Hackett, Steve Rothery or Dave Gilmour. There are plenty of other great players, but each of those four has a tone which gives me goose bumps. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

"The bassoon is
one of my favorite instruments. It has a medieval aroma, like the days
when everything used to sound like that. Some people crave baseball...I
find this unfathomable, but I can easily understand why a person could
get excited about playing the bassoon." -Frank Zappa |

Guitar/Drums/Bass. Love them equally. But the sound of a Fretless bass enchants me bigtime. So Fretless Bass it is. |

Definitely the Hurdy Gurdy!I love that deranged sound especially from the band Zaar! I also like the xylophone, bassoon, fretless bass, musical saw, and the violin. |

It depends on the music really. I like the Tuba in SOT, I would have added the Theremin to the list, then I like ethnic strings instruments like Oud, Sitar and so on...I won't vote. Thiking to i.e. Pink Floyd, does it go to Gilmour's guitar or to Wright's keys? ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

percussion is not an instrument, they are a variety of instruments mostly.
(I guess it could also be one instrument but they have names too, i.e. bongos, congas, maracas etc. even drums)
