throat sing

african finger piano

literally anything you do with it will sound good

Anything where you can immediately make a decent sounding tone I imagine - most percussion instruments - piano; though most instruments are extremely hard to play well or 'master'

they're a bitch to tune though

The human voice.

definitely guitar

every retard can play guitar and piano, the entire history of popular music showed so

underrated

Ehhhhh it depends. Guitar, ukulele, bass, all those kinds of instruments where all you need to do is learn where shit is and how to play said shit are relatively easier to pick up with minimal knowledge of music theory but if your looking for instruments in a more symphonic area id look at brass first. try baritone or trumpet first to test out your embouchure, then find a comfortable instrument and learn to read music and play music on a beginner scale. But desu most instruments are not easy for newcomers to learning music. They will all be fairly difficult. Some over others but only by a slight margin and for many reasons. you could also try and sing, but i cant tell you shit about that.

tambourine

It still looks a lot easier than most instuments.
You just have to close your fingers at the right time.

synth

>bass
>easy
good one

Triangle.

bass is only 4 strings you dingus

No.

2 string bass

drum machine
no

this

>literally don't even have to perform any songs, just get the notes down and press play
Something tells me you've never even tried it, unless you can name an instrument that is easier than clicking a mouse

>tfw some retard somewhere got hundreds of thousands in music school debt and mastered every percussive instrument just to play triangle in an orchestra for fucking pennies

Ukulele

how well does the ukulele translate to playing guitar?

Percussionists get payed the same amount as everyone else. While some parts are pretty deadshit boring, it's funny to think that sometimes you get payed like $50 a note per call.

They don't really
Uke strings are in a weird order that is very little like guitar and playing ukulele will probably not build much strength in your fingers to transition easily to guitar
Translating from guitar to ukulele is a bit easier

thanks

Some percussion instruments don't require lots skill you just need to understand rhythm and timing and how to get the right sound quality

there's no way every musician is paid the same. i would assume piano and cello would get the most money

being good drummer takes a shit ton of talent and creativity though. i saw a thing that said drummers actually have the best natural problem solving ability and IQ (take that shit wit ha grain of salt, but still).

I'm seconding this guy. I learned 2 different brass instruments in high school, get your bass level musical theory knowledge and learn one of those

Base level*

People that are featured are typically paid more but other than that people are generally paid the same. Plus the triangle's usually paired up with something else (bass drum, timpani, or other auxillary)

funnily enough (at least in my city's orchestra) if you were to play a couple notes on triangle and then a few runs on xylophone you'd get payed doubling rates (for untuned/tuned percussion) - effectively earning more than say one of the 3rd chair 1st violins, who actually do shit

You say that but Im a percussionist and some times the xylo is a pain in the fucking ass. Rather play a full song on the vibes than a couple wierd runs on the xylo any day

why's is it such a problem? You just donk it - it's not the most complicated/responsive instrument most of the time in orchestra, apart from having to watch the conductor.

To just pick and sound good whatever you do?
Harmonica

Assuming that its a good performance the difference between the xylo and other mallet instruments is that the xylo is used to stand out in the piece, so it's easy to mess up on a subtle 4 mallet vibe/marimba part and hide it. While on the xylo if you fuck up it sounds awful (also assuming that the piece requires the person to use hard/medium hard and not soft mallets). That's why I hardly sight read xylo.

swinette

the ratio of effort : people sucking your willy and calling you talented with guitar is astronomical

REEEEEEEEEEEEE

Falling for this meme

recorder would be a nice one to start out with. Also if you end up hating it you only wasted like $5

Shut the fuck up Corey

Good one dad
