Got your back
Classic definition of a gentleman:
“One who can play the saxaphone, but doesn’t.”
The horrible contraption called a steel drum has already been indicted upthread, so I will nominate the [del]doorbells[/del] Fender-Rhodes piano.
To be honest, we don’t know the full range of the instrument–most people find it a pain in the ass to learn.
Swanee whistle where I come from. You guys would just love the game Swanee Kazoo on I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue. 
Seconded.
I’ll third or fourth rock saxophone, and third steel drums, probably the all-around worst instrument ever.
Gosh I’ve never heard such dissing of the saxophone. It’s the first instrument you hear when it’s time to get intimate, and secondly it’s the feature instrument in one of the greatest Rock n Roll songs ever composed!
I dunno. The punk saxophone in X-Ray Spex was such a signature of their sound, that I couldn’t live without it.
Oh, man, you’re going on my shit list. 
The Rhodes electric pianos have some of the warmest, most classic funky-ass keyboard sounds. That thing has balls. Funk grooves sound awesome on that thing.
So it’s safe for me to get out my solid body electric baritone ukulele?
Not sure I agree. Dropkick Murphys have been able to incorporate bagpipes into their music with pretty decent results.
What, exactly, do you play (or sing) with a list like that?
Rafael Ravenscroft. You’re welcome.
Chalk me up in the violin category. Too damn high pitched.
I played in the school orchestra (2nd violinist) starting in the fifth grade until graduating.
Occasionally, we’d borrow a few horn players from the band for special performances. Hated sitting next to those guys. They’d pull this piece off their instrument, or open a valve and pour spit on the floor. Nauseating… stuff. Anytime I see French horns, trumpets, trombones, or tubas perform I think of those pools of spit by their feet.
The saxophone is considered the sexy cool instrument, but all I hear is tinny shrieks.
Soft blues on a saxophone are great, but this instrument has an opportunity to be abused that’s often taken.
Bagpipes. Ugh
Seems so appropriate that parts of them are called drones
FOLK METAL???
You learn something new here every day!
I know which instrument I like best. My wife plays it. Not as frequently as I’d like, or with the skill and attention to detail required at times, but always enjoyable as befits her amateur status. I wouldn’t want her to practice enough to consider becoming a professional, though.
heh.
Gotta go with this as well. There hasn’t been one instrument listed that I dislike, except auto-tune.
That said, auto-tune used sparing for effect can sound OK, too. And the vocoder was pretty cool as well.
