Yeah, but... you know whats really crazy? Almost every flutist DO HAVE Anderson as a inspiration.

Even that the sound of the group is not similar to those of Tull...

Boy... I'am confused today...LOL


flute is overrated... makes everyone think that every band WITH a flute is somehow Tull influenced LOL

Thats made the job of the flutist even harder!


nah... it wasn't like Ian was a viruoso on it LOL. 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!
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.

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.

"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. Music is revolution

I don't have a favourite instrument. It entirely depends on the music and the person playing it.

Also, as others have mentioned, where's the oboe?
