wow, even with 30 voters we managed to get 2 ties, in which case, I’m going to cast the deciding vote…I spent the last 35 minutes tallying it, so at least give me that right!
Aerophone bracket:
1. Trumpet - 23
vs 9. Oboe - 7
2. Clarinet - 18
vs 7. Bassoon - 12
hmm…the instrument which I studied for 10 years, and which got me into Connecticut All State Orchestra, or the instrument you have to jack off to play? I cast the 16th vote for French Horn (which we all know is not actually French, but I didn’t want to write Orchestral Horn and have some voters thinking they were voting for a saxophone)
4. Saxophone - 18
vs 12. Harmonica - 11
Idiophones/Membranophone bracket:
1. Drumkit - 22
vs 8. Celesta - 8

4. Timpani - 24
vs 5. Marimba - 6
Chordophone bracket:
1. Steelstring Acoustic Guitar - 21
vs 8. Acoustic Double Bass - 9

Another tie I need to cast the tieing vote for…if I turn my head to the right, there’s a harpsichord sitting right there. The only electric bass I ever owned, I smashed on stage during a concert after the fretboard broke. Going with Harpsichord.
