Violin
Theremin
theremin, def
Tuba
Definitely the piano
yo momma when she talks about you
mayonaise
808 bass
definitely the banjo
Definitely the kazoo
the vibraslap without a shadow of a doubt
The human voice.
gong
ukelele
this 100%
otherwise piano or cello
can't think of a sadder sounding instrument than the slide whistle
Sine wave
sad, sad sad sad
youtube.com
the sound of silence
saw or theremin
Definitely the banjo, followed closely by the kazoo
>tfw you will never see an orchestra comprised solely of these
Piano, magic box, harp, viola/in
If I had the resources I would write a suite for kazoo-gong-slide whistle trio just for you. And I would make it so sad and melancholic it would make Stockhausen cry.
holy shit
No doubt the Bongos
Never been moved to tears by an instrument other than the triangle
not this pls
only real patricians would think atonal instruments are the saddest
Cor anglais.
Instruments can't be atonal, you ridiculous person.
try again
Human voice if it counts, otherwise the cello
Instruments can't be atonal, you ridiculous person.
left foot let's stomp
came to say this but i'm actually kind of surprised i was beat to it. do you guys know any other songs/albums that make good use of theremin?
this song is completely heartbreaking
youtube.com
>percussion
>le spooky halloween sound
Grow up and listen to the Ondes Martenot
The bandoneon
did you even listen to the song? it's beautiful
>that guy
ugh
>Those vocals
Jesus Christ I'm dying, can anyone take this seriously? It sounds like a pisstake
I said.
shit song
>he doesn't like current 93
sure is pleb in here
That's one of their weakest albums, made even worse by the fact that it came after one of their best
Chord organ
I'd say the banjo
>one of their weakest albums
everyone seems to say that but i've never found a solid reason as to why. it's one of my favorites by them. it's so pretty and minimal
>even worse by the fact that it came after one of their best
haunted waves? i haven't listened to that one yet. should i check it out?
This is great, thanks
No, man, Baalstorm Sing Omega. And the reason I think it's one of their weakest is because it takes the BSO formula and waters it down until there's nothing but what feels like a large number of interludes sewn together into full length tracks
I still like it, though
are you autistic? If the percussion isn't tuned it will sound out of key.
1- Record the sound of a percussive instrument.
2- Open the audio in audacity or similar
3- Change pitch
4- ???
5- all sounds have a pitch you unaccustomed imbecile
>edit pitch in a software
>WOAH THE INSTRUMENT ISN'T ATONAL
>missing the point this hard
If it can be changed, it exists. Every sound IS a pitch, nothing that produces sound is "atonal".
monotonal =/= atonal, gobshite
>itt: comedy instruments
OP didn't ask for the most pathetic instruments, but for most sorrowful
I'd say it's the oboe
youtube.com
>not understanding people are taking the piss
are you taking the piss?
nice trips but I respectfully disagree
Listen to Astor's solo performance at 18:00
youtube.com
CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH
>that guy pt.2: memectric boogaloo
ughhh
a skilled kazooist is no joke.
Whatever instrument that is at 2:55
Man that's some pleasant listening

Hey Sup Forums, what's the saddest piece of construction equipment? That is to say, what piece of construction equipment is the best at producing an air of melancholy and depression?
that could be lots of things. it could be guitar, it could be computer, it could be flute ... THAT's why this question is dumb
It has to be the Erhu
I'm planning on getting one of these beautiful instruments soon, can't wait to get a chance to play it.
I would love one, but I have no idea of the learning curve or price. Maybe someday
As of now, I just play pentatonic minor scales on a banjo with a cello bow, and it's a somewhat similar sound
both these instruments are in an episode of High Maintenance (the HBO show)
the dad character is miserly and plays an erhu in the subway while his son is a successful musician playing a theremin
is that ebu gogo
Trips
Tell
Truth
He's not gutting the child, so I don't think so
ebu gogo bowing an erhu
