Favorite Classical Orchestra Instrument

A percussionist would still tell you you’re doing it wrong!

I’ve heard that the clarinet is the instrument that can best emulate the human voice. And I can’t agree with Jackmannii’s assessment. Maybe he was thinking of this this clarinet.

Hey, some of them are weeds…

Timpani.

You left out so many good orchestral instruments!

Bagpipe
Lasso D’amore
Vacuum Cleaner
Rifle

Yes, there was indeed a concerto for vacuum cleaner and rifle. And it wasn’t written by P.D.Q. Bach! (Malcolm Arnold’s A Grand, Grand Overture, Op. 57)

I do regret leaving out the banjo. The vacuum cleaner? Not so much!
