All the other usual instruments like Percussion, Sax, Piano, real strings/Violin/cello, guitar, keyboards, Organ is used so often in all other genres of popular music. Its hard to think of them as prog instruments.

The Mellotron!  Such a cool instrument that is very much unique to prog and it's history.

Out of this list I vote for the Mellotron, but had the Rickenbacker Bass been in this list, I would have voted for it.

So would I... Heck, I just realised I posted (and voted) twice, saying the same thing all over again. I suppose I'll have to delete one of the two!Wink

To Vince aka Tlossy: I wish I had your faith in proclaiming Myung as a great bassist, because I sure as hell can't hear him on most of the DT records I own!

The Moog. The king of synths. I love it over my own instrument (bassguitar), and I don't even play it! LOL

Where the hell is the MANDOLIN!!!! It's the greatest instrument of all time regardless of genre. Tull uses the mandolin to great effect, in case you're wondering where it appears in prog. Also missing is the incredible ACCORDIAN!! Check out Uzva (and of course Tull) for some righteous accordian. Two instruments that have been woefully overlooked.

For me, Hammond & Mellotron (unsurprisingly)

But where is the poll option for that most prog of alll instruments, the double necked guitar - here modelled by an obscure ex-public schoolboy:

Personally i find the Flute is the winner! I love it when Mr.Lake plays it on I talk to the wind and on any song on In the Court really, its simply Amazing! For second place i chose both the Moog and the Organ

Well, yes. Silly we can be. Although I agree, Rutherford's double neck is way up there for me. But his original Rickenbacker double neck 12 string/bass would be the one. Alas, the Mellotron wins out!
