Instruments that you don´t like?

Which instruments do you not like the sound of?

1. Piano

I don´t care for the sound of a piano. Very quiet pieces like Moonlight Sonata are nice, but when the piano is played louder, I don´t like how it sounds.

2. French horn

It just sounds like a canned fart, and sounds so irritating that it hurts my ears.

3. Saxophone

I know the jazz lovers will disagree, but to me, a sax just sounds like a kazoo :)

4. Bagpipes

Well, because, bagpipes :)

Please don´t take this personally if you love one of the intruments others don´t :)

Laughing... well, this will be good... Let me see, a syndrum, that would be my candidate. A fuzz guitar is right up there, I know its an effect but still... would have to add the whole general class of synthesizers.
 
Honestly... none! Instruments that I thought that I didn't like such as accordion and banjo, I came to realize were used in music that I liked and over time in music that I thought that I didn't like but grew to enjoy. The final frontier for me might be banjo heavy music like bluegrass and even though I heard plenty of that as a kid and hated it (my mom listened to a bluegrass show on the radio), I've come around to it. I've got a bit of a mini-collection of old bluegrass LPs and though I don't listen to them very often, when I'm really in the mood for that kind of thing it satisfies like nothing else. I feel that there are brilliant, genius players of pretty much every instrument and I want to be open to the magic that they are able to conjure up... so I don't feel like I have the luxury of hating on any particular instrument.

I have stronger dislikes toward sounds, rather than instruments. Like the trends since the 90s in lots of heavy music. In certain kinds of thrash metal type stuff; guitars are mixed with lots of bass, bass guitar is very trebly, drums have no body with bass drums being clicky sounding, etc... and everything is compressed into a kind of featureless steamroller of sound... There are other various sub genres that are mixed in different but equally awful ways as well, but I won't get into ALL of that stuff...
 
I'm with Judas Priest with that bagpipe thing. God, I hate those! They make the accordion sound sublime.
 
I really don't "hate" any musical instrument. There are some I prefer over others, and a night of listening to some...well, I would rather not take in.

The only ones that I don't care for are the:
"jew's-harp" as I find the clarity of notes is missing.
"Didgeridoo" as it seems to have only the one note (Aussi's may differ on this).
"kazoo" as there are no notes...just a buzzing resemblance of a note.

harpsichord
harp
banjo ( don't hate it, and it CAN sound good, but colors music and gives it a hilly billy sound).

Nothing?

It may well drive you crazy, but had to try. This guy does a whole schtick where he looks homeless and destitute wandering around the mall -- and then plays the crap out of an open piano (this is in the UK).

Take the french horn out of the Bond theme and all you have is a bunch of hapless musicians screwing around! :)


The french horn has its moments! :)

Now I'm starting to wonder what instruments you actually like :):)

Here, I got nothing. At all.

In the entire history of bagpipe, all of it sounds horrifically out of tune -- no matter what they are playing, or who is playing. Even if they are just playing a single note while they are tuning it -- it is STILL somehow off key.

I guess I'm not a fan :)

This may sound funny, having played in punk/metal bands in my teens and early twenties, but I hate 95% of guitar solos. I personally find that guitar solos specifically, rarely fit in the song as a whole. They drag on way too long and usually halfway through all I can picture in my mind is the guitarist staring at me, pumping his eyebrows arrogantly so I finally acknowledge his skills. Then the song will be allowed to continue. Yes, I'm lookin at you Freebird. I know, I know, Allen Collins is wonderful... but when you've worked in bars and pubs for 20 years, that solo becomes the soundtrack to nightmares.
