Musical Instrument Madness Round Four

[fusoya]

Some real heartbreakers in round 3. Many of my primary instruments were knocked out (and all you clarinet lovers can just DIE already), and I had to cast the deciding vote for Trumpet vs Sax, which was a brutal battle. This round will be voting for king of the categorization! It’s also gonna be the brass vs reed (although that happened in round 3 as well), chromatic percussion vs drum, classical string vs modern string, and piano players vs guitarists AND electronic vs acoustic-mechanical round! I’m also feeling good about the seeding I selected, since nothing below 3 is left.

You can vote up through Saturday afternoon, since I’m not gonna be around Friday night to tally.

It’s becoming harder!!

Aerophone bracket:

   Idiophone/Membranophone (still one of each left!) bracket:

2. Vibraphone (I like melody!)
   Chordophone bracket:

Just my 2 eurocent!

I’m a bit disappointed French Horn didn’t make it, I think it’s a much more interesting instrument than either trumpet or clarinet, but it was inevitable, I guess. I’m not really bothered about the first two categories; I hope the final is between the last two. Glad 'cello stayed, it’s one of my instruments.

3. Drumkit

5. Acoustic Grand Piano (I guess I’ll go with this even though I am outraged - OUTRAGED - that the pipe organ didn’t make it. :mad: )
