not a single euphonium player I have ever met has had any idea what they were doing

the flute if you're a boy for the most part

Ukulele

Euphonium kicks ass, you don't know shit

i played the tuba and it fucking sucked. started playing in some big band and only went once because it was horrible. i only liked pressing down all the things halfway and blowing so it would sound like a cow mooing

but idk if it's a beta instrument. all the fruity wimps in the band played clarinet or those sideway flutes

this

The only real answer here. I can't think of a more useless estrogen-powered instrument

None of them, to play anything well takes commitment and focus.

Even 3 chord guitar sounds shit when played by a sloppy idiot.

this, only acceptable if you're Hawaiian

no, its not great but cant possibly be beta. too bassy
>jethro tull

>tuba
>beta instrument
Pfft, you wish you could play with us

...

What about the most alpha instruments?

Shinji pls

saxophone

Clarinet

fagott
and this

I play tuba though

French horn

What about trumpet? Jazz trumpet more specifically

Niggers posting their high school band instruments. Sad!

...

Indeed, the French horn is the most alpha instrument, and I'm not just saying that because I used to play it.

The virgin tuba
The chad Wagner tuba

I can't really think of a beta intrument other than the ukelele, but I think pizzicato double bass is alpha as fuck
Jazz trumpet is alpha
I agree with this

Fuck you

Bass guitar
Ukulele
Harp
Soprano Saxophone

Tuba is alpha as fuck. Ukulele, trombone and clarinet are beta

...

Piano

An ukelele is just a boneless guitar

>Soprano Saxophone
no

Cowbell

How is it beta if you have to heft that thing around?

...

9 year euphonium player reporting in, can confirm.

>Being the Tuba's bitch
>Pretending that it's not a fat cow, even-though there are trumpets, flutes and clarinets in the same band
>No no no, I'm the better man for publicly displaying my my ineptitude

The only people who play the tuba are dumb memers, or kids that the band teacher relegated 2 notes per bar.

Ha!
Don't be so butthurt triangleboi

gonna have to agree with euphonium - despite having a lyrical and unique sound there are pretty much no jobs going for it outside of the odd professional wind orchestra/brass band of which there are barely any.

that or being a back desk viola

depending on the rep timps can be pretty badass

>open thread
>no viola
viola

keytar
otamatone
pandeiro

I've never met a trombone player I'd have a beer with. Even my good friend I was in a jazz combo with just gave me bad vibes.

...

As in exclusively Triangle or Percussion in general?

Octobass, only if you can master the fingering manually.

this user has the right idea

obviously drums like wtf

this plus i loled HARD

>those sideway flutes

LOOK FRED
A FAGOT

hey emmanuel

percussion followed by (double) bass

I agree with others saying euphonium

It's a virtuoso instrument that requires a lot of technique and yet barely any ensembles want it compared to trumpet, trombone, french horn, even tuba

Honestly just a complete waste of time to master

Brass players are the most alpha of the orchestral players though. They're always getting drunk and causing shit, playing practical jokes and laughing at fart noises.

Bassoon and flute are pretty beta. Harp too.

Tuba is the most alpha instrument. The betas play clarinet
Source: am a beta clarinet

Aww shit, my bad. That's a euph. Yeah, they're clarinet tier

drums are the most alpha instrument

suck it musicfags

Double-bass.

The double bass is sultry, cool masculinity in instrument form.

That thing at [1:15]
it's like hearing the lamentation of their women

that's a fucking big guitar

...

pleb

Lol

On a related note, what instrument is easy to play? I play the guitar and would like to learn something new, preferably wind based.

I've been thinking a Trumpet, but I really don't find them that interesting. I'm not a great jazz listener, but I love folkier stuff and Baroque pop.

brass is much harder than woodwind to sound good

sax is probably your best choice

the oboe

Piano is the most alpha

The saxophone is the easiest brass instrument. Trumpet would be one of the more difficult ones, definitely harder than guitar anyway.

Synthesizers and Samplers and Drum Machines. "Producers" in general who couldn't even keep a beat. Modern music has completely lost any sense of tactility.

dad? what are you doing on Sup Forums?

Saxophone isn't a brass instrument tho.

Dang. They're way more expensive though, but fuck it, I'll just get a second hand one.
Do you have any favourite pieces with
a predominant sax? Just to know what I'm getting myself into.

So why's it yellow and shiny?

>Just to know what I'm getting myself into.

sounding shit and annoying for AT LEAST your first year

Letting a computer do the majority of the heavy lifting is pretty beta. I like lots of electronic music but the process is a lot more forgiving for passive, isolated, nerdy dudes. Objectively.

kike

Came here to post this

Why is your mum shiny and yellow? Because... guys pee on her because she has kinky sex, haha!

whatever, just send money to mom
asshole

I swear we've had this thread 100 times before

So less than the usual Grimes/Kpop/memerap/soundcloud/metal/classical threads congesting the front page?

...

This, generals just make things worse in this board which is already shitty enough.

100% this, Ukelele is pure soy boy tier crap. Faggot tier is any type of flute or clarinet (stick more dick shaped instruments in your mouth and "blow" fag)
Drums of course
>played by beating the shit out of stuff
>can go full out aggression or can play it more passively to get bitches ready for a raw fuck session
>necessary component for various genres of music
>drumsticks can be used as improvised weapons to kill fans that compete with you for grills, stab a fuckers eyes and throat to death
>simple to pick up but insanely complex when you want to git gud
>best instrument for improvisation

The fact that Ian Anderson exists makes the flute an instant alpha male instrument.
