The Worst Musical Instrument

I'm going to suggest the theremin is a truly awful musical instrument.

Harmonica. The mere sound makes me run cold and go goosebumpy.

A truly offensive sound.

Really? REALLY? What about the harmonica solo in isn't she lovely? You can't honestly find that offensive?

Or this

Bagpipes. They look like an accidental creation, and sound like one too.

Because the instrument just sounds like a bit farty bum. Farting out wet smelly notes.

Just... what?

I truly believe that I have the winner here:

The Vuvuzala

Or however its spelt.

Perhaps not a commonly shared opinion, but there's something about ******* pan pipes that makes me want to nuke the whole of South America into radioactive glass.

Just indescribably annoying.

The prosecution rests, your honour.

Drums.

A cat being strangled. Oh wait, I mean bagpipes.

Ha-ha, how do you play a piano or harp smugly?... is it a certain look of the face, as you hit/pluck the notes?

Worst instrument?... maybe the Tuba, okay, they might contribute a certain something to an orchestra, but why would you pick that as 'the' instrument to play?... it sounds like a farting cow

All clarinets should be burned along with those that play them.

O dear Nitefly, we're going to have a falling out it seems. Irrelevant of the fact that I haven't played for at least 3 years, I still got to grade 8

It is the sound from hell.

I actually think those solitary ****s who play trumpets/drums at football grounds are worse than vuvuzelas. You can tune out the drone of 1000 vuvuzelas, but one **** randomly banging on a drum is impossible to ignore.
