Out of these three instrument which one do you believe is the most beautifu sounding?
- Thread starter waloshin
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
I think the Violin can be a very, very beautiful instrument - but it really needs another instrument to be at the top. Violin solos - even if you're Karen Briggs - tend to be screechy after a few minutes.
As much as I love classical guitar, I'd say the Piano. It's central to so many influential composers and classical pieces - Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, etc. It has a broad range of emotion you can wring out of it, and it can sound full and rich on it's own.
Or was I supposed to give some hair brained ditz response just because the OP is Waloshin...?

Stop it with those cowbells!!
Almost as bad as listening to Rocky Top!
Notice, I said "almost"

NOTHING is as bad as Rocky Top! Boomer Sooner is a close second, though.
Cowbells, on the other hand, are sweet, sweet, music!
As far as I'm concerned, there is no more beautiful sounding instrument that this.

They are all beautiful sounding in their own way. It's all a matter of taste, though, which individual one you would say is truly the most beautiful. I'd take a cello over a viola, for example. However, I would choose a piano if I could only listen to one instrument. A piano, in my opinion, is one of the most dynamic of all instruments. But does that make it the most beautiful? Tough question. Under the right person's fingers, maybe.
Been listening to his Cello Suites (Bach) over christmas and its got to be up there with the most beautiful noise made on an instrument (desert island instrument still a piano tho...)
The visually most beautiful instrument? This is well worth watching (instrument at the end...)

Then again, 43,000,000 other people weren't let down either.
Dear moderating team,
Please block this link and any other link to this video for the love of the great Apple in the top left of my screen. Please.
Please.
Thanks,

Oh and rdowns,
I took it to mean that rdowns favours the human voice.
Although, not necessarily that particular one.
In future it would pay to just remember these 6 letters, JYRHA0.

Out of those three, I'd have to say Piano. I've always found the sound of a viola a bit like a singer pinching his nose while singing; in other words, a bit nasally. I find the sound of an acoustic guitar plain ol' offensive to the ears. That's just me.
Out of all the musical instruments, I find the timbre of the Cello most pleasant. IMO, it most closely mimics the human voice in quality.

I'd have to say the piano as well. As it is the only instrument I can think of that I like listening to on it's own. While the others need accompanying instruments to get that full range of sound.
