Most annoying musical instrument

[TeeBone]

I had a conversation this evening with the family at dinner and wanted to make a poll.
So I ask you, what is the most annoying musical instrument?
Certainly a case can be made for Hippies playing bongos in a circle, and I’d like to see what else is missing form this list, but of the 3…

Bagpipe
Accordion
Sitar

[lleeder]

Jews Harp

[underdog]

The Armonica.

[OGC]

Accordian and Sitar can sound ok in certain situations, but the bagpipes never sound good

[OGC]

I rest my case

It gotta be the hippie drum circle, how often do you really here bagpipes, accordions or sitars?
Back when i was in college you couldn't go anywhere without some hippies playing the bongos, real fuckin annoying

The Sitar, or Hippie Bongo Circle. When played right, the Bagpipe has a great, almost haunting sound. Unfortunately I usually only hear them at funerals.

[Devo37]

maybe not the worst, but i lived next door to a professional cello player for a year. god, i couldn't stand hearing him practice that damn thing. sounded like he was murdering a cat in slow motion.

[PapaBear]

Bagpipes are the worst, unless they're playing Amazing Grace. Worst on the list, that is.

That absolute worst of all time is the fucking didgeridoo. I got so sick of hippies in Asheville, NC thinking that damn thing would get them chicks in the mid 90's.

electric guitar. fuck you, les paul!

[Ritalin]

Fucking bagpipes. Hate em, and there's some dude who plays them on the subway from time to time. Asshole.

The one you skipped is that pan flute thing that the Peruvian guys play in the subway stations into a microphone. I hate the sound of that stupid thing.

[ATMfromChico]

How about a 3 year old with a pair of symbols their grandparent gave them? Fucking torture.

Easily its the fucking drums:

Hear me out on this:

Played well and in time, drums are the fucking greatest instrument in my opinion. Awesome rhythms, amazing physical stamina, lots of dynamics in the sounds. Love them.

BUT

If you walk through a Guitar Center or similar music store, THE MOST ANNOYING AREA IS THE MOTHERFUCKING DRUM DEPARTMENT. STOP IT YOU FUCKING HACKS!!!! I NEVER sit down at those set. Ya know why?

1. It's not my set up so I'm not completey comfortable.
2. No one really tunes them.
AND MOST IMPORTANT
3. There is NO VOLUME ON AN ACOUSTIC DRUM SET YOU FUCKING SHITS. When you sit down and play drums in the drum department, you are saying "Everyone look at me, you're not going to be able to talk over me now." The guys can't even answer the phone.

So on their own, out of place, drums are the fucking worst.

Lyre!

[riverofpiss]

I fuckin' hate any type of horn, especially trumpets and saxophones. There is nothing more annoying than a horn solo, even by the best players in the world.

[Chris from TX]

Beat you to it!

My bad, you win

[PapaBear]

My bad, you win
I didn't win by being first. I won by pointing out the annoying hippie aspect.

For those of you who said bagpipes never sound good I submit the following -
