What instruments are relatively easier to play?
- marktucker 3y agoI could recommend taiko (Japanese) drums as an adult hobby. You very quickly get off the ground in terms of making wonderful music together with a group.
- boredemployee 3y agosorry, in fact i think its hard to play any instrument, but my experience is with piano only. i studied hard for 18 months in my mid 30s and could play many pieces of Erik Satie and some other musicians.
- dheera 3y agoPiano or guitar are probably the best instruments for fastest path to gratification i.e. you can play something vaguely nice sounding pretty quickly, on the other of a couple months. With string instruments you sound like a crying baboon for 2 years, and with brass instruments you sound like an underwater crow for 2 years.
- AlecSchueler 3y agoTin whistle could be worth looking at. You'll still need a good ear and a lot of practice for your intonation though.
- Der_Einzige 3y agoPeople who are saying "Guitar" or "Piano" don't play insturments. The cello: 1. You're literally sitting when you play, whereas many violinists, violists, and bass players have to stand. 2. Big enough strings to not cause a player to develop callouses, no pain/bleeding. 3. Almost always only play one string at a time - no knowledge needed of chords. 4. Until you get ultra good, you will only need to learn 1 clef, and only a handful of key signatures I think guitar and piano are among the harder of instruments to learn. Bowed string instruments are among the easiest.
- crossroadsguy 3y agoA friend learns Piano and she has tried some instruments. She told me cello and violin are one of the most difficult to even begin. But I will explore this.
