What's the hardest instrument to play? (In your opinion)?

Question

And what would you say is hardest to play (well) out of these, putting them into order hardest first, easiest last:

Cello

Flute

Violin

Piano

Saxophone

Singing

Trumpet

Clarinet

Recorder

Answer 1

For me, the easiest would probably be the recorder, although I hate the sounds it makes.  The hardest is the cello, without a doubt, but I absolutely love its sound.  A friend of mine used to play it for me, and I would almost always end up in tears.  All the rest are in between.  When I was much younger, my piano teacher used to say 'A wrong note, dear, is a wrong note, whether you play it loudly or softly'.

Answer 2

The hardest instrument in reality is the Clarinet. it takes a lot of air and a lot of practice which is hwy people choose the Sax instead.

Clarinet

violin

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

it all depends on the skill of the individual....not the instrument itself.

i haven't played all the ones i list, but some are listed from things i've heard.

Harp

Cello

French Horn

Violin

Guitar

Piano

Clarinet

Saxaphone

Flute

but once again, not instrument is actually harder than the other.....

Answer 6

i'd say violin, piano and recorder to me aren't that hard

Answer 7

The piano is the most difficult instrument to learn in my opinion, but it is also the most fitting to learn if you have never studied music before. Music theory as represented on the staff is best explained by the piano keyboard. If you understand the different key signatures on the piano, then learning other istruments will be easier.

I took up the piano in the third grade and it really aided me when I started other instruments such as the sax, clarinet, and guitar.

To answer your question about the list:

Piano

Singing (it is a lot more difficult than most people think)

Trumpet

Flute

Clarinet

Saxophone

Violin

Cello

Recorder

Answer 8

singing

violin

cello

drums (i play)

flute

saxophone

trumpet

guitar (i play)

clarinet

piano (i play)

recorder

P.s. they're all hard if you dont know how to play them...

there is no "hard" instrument, it all depends on the person who plays it

Answer 9

I play flute, singing, recorder, piano and my sister plays the clarinet. I would say singing is the hardest, you have to worry so much about pitch and techniques, with an instrument you just have to press the right keys or bow the right notes. With singing you  have to keep in pitch and support and there are so many things to remember. Next i would say the piano because you have to learn two parts and play them at thhe same time. Then trumpet because its so hard to make a sound on it. Then sax (making a sound on a sax is also very difficult), violin (because bowing and not sounding like a dying cat is something not many people achieve), cello (for the same reason as violin), flute (at the beginning the flute is virtually impossible, it took me three months to make a sound on the flute), clarinet (making a sound without squeaking is very difficult and it takes a lot of air to blow the clarinet) then recorder because it is really easy.

Answer 10

I'm chooisng my own.  Hardest  to play:

1. Triangle

2. Empty Jug

3. Glasses filled with varying amounts of water

4. Skin Flute (my girl tells me)

5. Mini-ukelaili (spell check)

6. Knick nack patty wack (on my knee)

Answer 11

The hardest instrument to play is the trombone. When you think about it, there are no keys  or strings to it, just a 'slide'

Answer 12

Saxophone

Cello

Flute/Trumpet

Violin

Clarinet

Piano

Singing

Recorder

Answer 13

Well i have never heard of an instrument called singing before,The hardest instrument to learn for me would be a harp.

Answer 14

I would say a Pipe Organ,

you have to use not only your hands on about 2 keyboards (sometimes 6-8 and 10 in the really mad ones) but you have to use your feet aswell!!

It can be really complicated! I went in for an aprenticeship but got told I wasnt going anywere lol ..... ha well.....

Some music is hard to read forany instruiment sometimes, its just practice, practise, practise!

Answer 15

Have always thought the violin the most difficult to learn to play and to play well - there are in fact very few really good violinists.

Gypsy violin - Israeli
