What's your dream instrument(s)?

For the moment for me it's:

http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0101602731

:wub:

A violin, I always wanted to play a violin as my main instrument. Instead I play the stupid piano!

Well, I think I would have been better off with a wind instrument, like a clarinet or a trumpet, than the keyboard I use now, or maybe a violin, given that I'm very small and a keyboard is bulky. In truth, anything acoustic would probably be good as my keyboard doesn't really do a very good simulation of most sounds.

Keilwerth SX-90 Tenor Saxophone with adjustable palm keys! This horn sang for me when i played it in the music shop.

I wouldnt mind having a Yamaha Custom Z sax either.

The Koto (http://www.kotoworld.com/images/press/liz_koto.jpg). I'd *LOVE* to learn to play it! (Too bad I'm so untalented musically...)

The piccolo trumpet would be so sweet!

High squeaky notes without trying as hard as playing them on trumpet!

Hmm, I think figured out my dream instrument: the pipe organ. Now there's an awesome instrument.

The english horn, accordian, and the harp, but mostly the english horn. You can bet your money that I'm going to learn how to play these instruments some day.

an acoustic piano

A Stienway & Sons Grand Piano - $60,000

Oh my, when I see that I've owned one-I'll faint !

Either a woodwind instrument like the flute or the violin. I have to learn the violin before I'm 16!

i'd like a flute, and of course, a harp!! =]

The piccolo trumpet would be so sweet!

High squeaky notes without trying as hard as playing them on trumpet!

YES!!! SOMEONE THAT KNOWS WHAT A PIC TRUMPET IS!!

And it's an awsome instrument. So long as you can handle the back pressure that happens when playing. The pressure an above the staff C on a normal trumpet all the time. Guarenteed headache after the first time you play it!

On another note: it sucks when you have to play a low C below the staff, majorly.

A Bb Contrabass Clarinet.

Or play the Oboe. That'd be cool too XD

i wanna learn bassoon and french horn, and a drum corps instrument, most likely baritone or mellophone

Hmm, I think figured out my dream instrument: the pipe organ. Now there's an awesome instrument.

Yeah, it's my dream to eventually build a shed which would house a pipe-organ in my back yard. I really love organs and organ music.

I know there are better cellos in the world, but I'm a big fan of the one I own. She's Italian and around 100 years old. When I told one of my friends how much I bought it for, he said, "Wait. You spent that much on a used instrument?" In case you didn't know, the sound quality improves dramatically the longer it's been around. I really do wish I had a better bow though. A nice, heavy, German, octagonal bow. I'm drooling.

Either the violin or the harp. Both gorgeous, gorgeous instruments..

A 10 hole Ocarina from "Ocarina di Budrio", a Harp, and a Vintage 1966 Rickenbacker 12 String Electric.

My dream instruments? Probably flute, guitar and erhu (also known as the Chinese violin - http://www.worth1000.com/entries/184000/184272NTVS_w.jpg).

The harp. Still the most beautiful sound i have ever heard. And so Big (some of them)

A wooden flute! I play a regular flute and piccolo and piano right now and want to try one of the more traditional ones.

Antonio Lorca guitar....
And I love harp too...

I've got my mom's old acoustic guitar-I think that guitar is a great instrument for just "playing what you feel" especially If you're singing...I've wanted to learn to play it for a while. The Shamisen is also WAY cool...anyone ever wanted to play the shamisen?

Harp, guitar, violin and flute.
I might get a violin some time soon. WAHHH~
I wonder if you can get by without a teacher.

You can, though I wouldn't recommend it. Try to look up instructions on how to hold the instrument and practice holding it often when you do get one, because if you start out holding it incorrectly and no one corrects you it will be very difficult to hold it correctly if holding it incorrectly is a habit for you.

As for my dream instrument, right now I want a flute.. Which I will be getting next week. :)

Mine is the guitar (which I already play!) and the keyboard.

"You mean the piano?"

No, the keyboard. Like Jordan Rudess, I suggest you go and admire some of his work here:

http://www.jordanrudess.com/mediagallery.shtml

Example:

http://www.jordanrudess.com/ew_videos/12_JR_JazzEnsemble.mov

(I love jazz)

Or, simply listen to Dream Theater or Liquid Tension Experiment.

I would love to own a Viola D'amore, a Royale Oboe, a Loree English Horn, a celesta, a Heckel bassoon, oboe d'amore, a contrabass flute (yes, there is such a thing) and celtic tin whistles.

The flute or violin. Something that doesn't require reeds.[I play clarinet.] I hate reeds. But something that would sound pretty. I don't like brass that much.

Purely for the sake of collectability I want a Reproduction Alma-Tadema Grand Piano. In 1997, the original sold at auction for US$1.2 million and, new, the repro. goes for US$650,000 (http://www.steinway.com/steinway/legendary_collection.shtml), or any one of their other Artcase pianos. Or, even though I don't play guitar, I would also like a 1967 Gibson EB-0 (like the [red] one in FLCL ep 6, or there's also one in the PS2 game Guitar Hero).

For playability I would like either a Steinway & Sons Model D Concert Grand or a Kawai EX 9' concert grand (and the space for it in my home). If could, I'd have one custom built in a high-gloss white finish.

And enough with the high squeeky things in the front of the orchestra!! I also play Double Bass.

I want a 4/4 scale carved-wood DB--which could go for at least US$30,000--and a mastercrafted snakewood bow. Snakewood is heavier than pernambuco and therefore gives a much nicer tone on the bass, however for the same reason it is also much more difficult to carve and also is less-common (or more rare) than pernambuco, therefore, a basic snakewood bow usually costs around US$1500, while a mastercrafted one can easily top US$4000.

And, for the person that mentioned the contrabass flute, in case you did not know there is a such thing as a hyper-bass flute. It is eight feet long and its lowest note is tuned to C0 (a sixth below the lowest note on the piano). There is only one in existance and its lowest note, C0, is below the range of human hearing. I believe there's a picture of it on wikipedia, you'll have to find it yourself, I'm feeling being lazy right now.

Definitely a koto. I love the sound they make...

i really wanna have a violin or a flute...:)

i really want to learn the guitar, then the piano, drums, and bass............. =P
this is really bad, coz i'm starting to neglect my violin T.T

this is really bad, coz i'm starting to neglect my violin T.T

i guess that's kinda bad. i wanted to learn how to play the violin but i ended up playing the piano. anyway, i think having a violin and learning how to play it would be really nice...i still want a violin..

This is my current acoustic Violin...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v380/mcadnama/Fiddlin.jpg

And this is my dream five stringed electric Fiddle...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v380/mcadnama/ElectricFF.jpg

I am currently drooling over the second picture. =D

Strad, of course. Nothing less. :P Although there are some very fine German violins that would be quite lovely. Mine's a Glass, made somehere in the 19th century, I believe. Not a bad bit of wood... it serves as my dream instrument at the moment, being under $10,000.

Oh, and probably a French bow of some type. They seem to be the best at bow making; I prefer even my inexpensive (only $600!) french bow to the Codas, even though people do ask if it's a viola bow because of the rounded frog.

My dream instrument is the piano I currently have. Its not the the worlds best but I have fallen in love with it. Schulze Pollman <3

a lot cheaper than an acoustic piano, an a lot smaller too

I've always wanted to master the violin and be able to play the 'ku chen' and shemisen.
But, my dream instrument would be a clarinet coz i can never play any woodwind instrument T.T

A Stienway from '31 that I played.

Don't argue with me.. it IS the perfect Piano.

The Touch
The Sound
The LOVE

I already play my "dream instrument". I'm a violinist. I also love the piano. Haven't been into that for a while so it would be nice to relearn bass clef again, but, nah, I already have my devil's violin. (It's such a nice deep red.)

http://www.aabaca.com/n100.html

a lot cheaper than an acoustic piano, an a lot smaller too
wow, that looks cool. um...i wanna play the guitar but i play the piano. its so unfair my lil sister has a guitar and she hasn't even started lessons yet.

i an playing my dream instrument the double bass it's just awesome and im starting to go back into piano but its kinda hard it's been a while since I played piano and to learn treble all over.

Everyone's always said if u can play the piano you can play almost any
instument.

I play piano And Violin

Wish I could play (Classical) Acoustic (sp?) Guitar.

But I play, not pluck. :P

~~~

So, I want the Pearl River 5' 3" at BRADFORDS across town and some more.

Beautiful touch and sound-it makes me HORNY. Lol, Jk.

I already play the flute, so a wooden flute, but...

I want a Dean Yang T2B Intermediate Flute. It's a flute with a hand-cut embouchure hole, so it has a great sound, but it's a fortune!! ($1000!! o.O)

The Koto (http://www.kotoworld.com/images/press/liz_koto.jpg). I'd *LOVE* to learn to play it! (Too bad I'm so untalented musically...)

my mom tryed to learn it and its easy from what i know from watching my mom the music is by numbers insted of notes on a staff i'm just not sure which string is what note from the tuning sheet cuz its in chinese XD the strings are numbered 12456 not sure y they skip 3

i want to learn how to play a harp and want this! XD

me no good at violin... need get better... how do you trill on a violin?.. o.o


A Bb Contrabass Clarinet.

Or play the Oboe. That'd be cool too XD
i got to try it this year but the one i tryed at school was older then me by like times two O_O and it was kinda broken so i couldnt play the first c below the staff and down and could only play up all the high notes. i can only play highnotes on the contrabass *SOB SOB*

The koto is oddly reminiscent of the guzheng. Now that is something I'd love to play. Or the pipa or erhu.. Or laruan, since it's pretty much like the cello. Hell, it looks pretty sexy too. ..

And I want a real cello. Not the Malaysian crap I have now. :[
Oh, and not to forget a Steinway grand piano and all that.

i thought the koto was a guzheng my mom plays tht not the koto =P whats the difference?..

Buffet Tosca clarinet- $8000 MSRP.

But I'm getting a Buffet r-13 soon, anyway.

... HOW MUCH IS THAT?!? o_o i mean the other one

The Harp, the organ, and the english horn. Hopefully I'll learn in college.

... HOW MUCH IS THAT?!? o_o i mean the other one

$2576-$2901 range. :heh: I need an upgrade; can't stand plastic anymore <_<.

i thought the koto was a guzheng my mom plays tht not the koto =P whats the difference?..

The koto was derived from the guzheng.. I think they may have a different amount of strings (Wikipedia says: Koto - 13; Guzheng 15-25), tho' models of each could be made with varying amounts of strings (which is actually done quite often), so theoretically a koto could have the same amount of strings as a guzheng. But no, I don't believe there's a real difference between the two, other than one being Chinese and the other Japanese.

But no, I don't believe there's a real difference between the two, other than one being Chinese and the other Japanese.

The only difference are their tunings. Standard guzheng is tuned to the D pentatonic scale (Do-Re-Mi-So-La), while koto is tuned to various Japanese modes.

This was actually one of my dream instrument when I was younger... But fortunately enough, I got one for fairly cheap and had a teacher. Yet, I kind of gave up learning it when I found out how dreadful it was to do vibratos and tremoli.

Well, for now, my dream instruments are: a Mustel celesta, the exotic oboe d'amore, a decent Loree oboe and English horn, an oboe musette and etc... =P

Umm..... An ocarina maybe?

Bösendorfer . . . :drool:

If your vioce counts as an instrument I always wanted to be able to sing. I'd sing my heart out and my friends and family would be like man now I know why you didnt join the choir.

bass guitar always sounded so cool... ive always wanted to play it >w<

The harp, the wooden chinese flute I got for christmas, the alto/bass flute. OH! And I want an engraved head joint for my mirimatsu flute.

I hope I get to learn new instruments in university, and i hope my piano skills get better over those 4 years, because it is one of my favourite instruments ever.

$2576-$2901 range. :heh: I need an upgrade; can't stand plastic anymore <_<.
then can you tell me y i cant play hiigher than an E on the staff?

I have to get mine; my plastic Vito won't hit a note that is needed. <_<

Let's continue this through PM, please.

Bosendorfer :

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Boesendorfer_fluegel3036.jpg/800px-Boesendorfer_fluegel3036.jpg

A grrreeeaattt piano brand. Steinway or Mason & Hamlin are the only things that could compare to it.

whats a Mustel celesta?..

i only own yamaha guitar and a violin my friend said was manufactored insted of hand made so i dont know much about brands and what does a real grand piano look like i asked my friend cuz i tot the one Mazeppa showed was it but he said a real grand piano is bigger than out voical room at school O_O?'''

i would like a steinway grand of my own (played on one for my diploma on monday and it was just the BEST instrument ever)

also want an alto flute- i played one once and sounds so nice

and if i had time/space/money i would love to learn the harp =]

What Mazeppa said pretty mush says it for me. A used Steinway piano would be my dream instrument. If I had the money, I'd buy one right now and chuck my electronic keyboard out the window!

Hmm.. There are different sizes of "Grand Pianos." They can range from a small 4 ft. (Baby Grands) to a massive 11 ft. and beyond.

But I wouldn't say there's any that are *literally* bigger than a school room. o.0

Side Note- A Steinway would be awesome, but I've heard that Bösendorfer's can be even better. . .but I am sure that Steinway's are the best no matter. =P

Eeeh? Dream instruments? ^_^ I guess I already have my dream instrument. My Trevor J James (flute) with that small plate (right?) in silver. I love it so much. And it's so shiny! My one and only love in my world! Okay, i'm a total nerd... But I got from my mother for the money she had saved up for a new computer to herself (though she didn't need one) about half a year ago, maybe a little more. And I never had a own flute before, even though I've been playing for eleven years by now... :heh:

But a violin would be nice, since I wanna play that... or an upright (a real, not electronic! I hate the sound electonics in general make when it's on) in place of my keyboard which is no good now, when I need pedals (I got a new piano book which cover the use of pedals, so I need that, which my keyboard don't hav) but I guess I can use the grand piano at school... Since it for the use of all students... Though i can't see why we have a grand piano when my school actually are not a music school... Oh well...

Selmer Mark VI Alto and Tenor sax....oh man.

The Mark series is amazing. Any of you that play saxophone should know what I'm talking about. Combine a Mark series sax with a Yanagisawa metal mouthpiece...the sound is amazing =3

I'd want a grand piano to fiddle around with. I've never really had the chance to play on a piano, I've always had my plastic keyboard ;__;

@Giles: You're violating the rules with your signature. First off, it's way to big. Second, there's an advertising link to your ridiculously ad-cluttered forum which has to be deleted. I'm too lazy to both PM you personally and remove them myself, so I trust you to do so.

ok no problem. sry bout that =]

... wow... you people know so much about what brand insterments you want... i dont even know where the one i play at school come from O_o

Well...if it is a brass instrument or a sax, it should have the brand somewhere along the bell area. As for flutes and other woodwinds, I'm not exactly sure where to look besides the instrument case. Like my Tenor Sax has "Yamaha Allegro" on the front of the case. Maybe if you check out those places you can find out =]

Having owned a keyboard most of my life (though I'm certainly not complaining about the gorgeous new Yamaha keyboard my parents bought me last year), I would die a happy musician if I owned a real grand piano -- I could honestly care less about the brand and specifics for the moment. <3

I would die if I owned a 5 octave rosewood marimba, but they cost around $13,000!

Yeah, percussion like that seem to get really expensive if you want a worthwhile one, heh. My Tenor Sax cost me around 4-5k. not that cheap, haha.

That's tough...I've already learned all the instruments i want to. I play twelve instruments..including the bagpipe =D. Erm, I've always wanted to own an electric cello, that would rock! =D Either that or an electric kazoo with tons of distortion!

$2576-$2901 range. :heh: I need an upgrade; can't stand plastic anymore <_<.

Hah yeah, that sucks. I've got a buffet intermediate clarinet right now. Grenadilla wood and all, but there's a chip in it =(. Luckily it doesnt affect the playing, but it's still cosmetically annoying =(.

It seems as though I'm getting a Selmer Professional, for it seems the best suited for me (either the $1469 or the $2200). I've tried every single instrument brand, including Buffets (and I'll admit; the Buffet response is the BEST), but there's just some things I don't like about the Buffet R13 and its Greenline counterpart (Professional Model). Buffets are just simply WAY off tune, like 30 cents flat. x_x Plus the Greenline is too "stuffy".

Perhaps you just need to blow harder and change your embouchure to find it fitting. When you choose a professional instrument, it's not you choosing the instrument, it's the instrument choosing you.

However, back on the topic, I would like to add an alto flute and a bass flute to my list of wanted instruments.

I play a lot of different instruments but I'm mainly a guitar player. This isn't exactly my dream instrument but I would sure love to try it out.

http://j-walkblog.com/old/images/rick_guitarpic1.jpg

I'd like to learn cello, electric guitar, bass guitar, flute, clarinet, drums, ocarina...actually, if I knew how to play every instrument ever made, I'd be happy. I'd also like to be able to sing well...

i just want an Electric Violin.. LOL it looks so fun

I have one, but it's not a very good model...oh well, it's fun! Now I just need an amplifier...

Yanagisawa Soprano Sax S991.

I think that's the right model. Anyway, it's looks and sounds fricken sweet lol.

A Pipe Organ!

My Dream instrument is a Soprano Sax. Maybe curved, when I see how big it is. I'm close enough to it playing the Alto Sax.


Yanagisawa Soprano Sax S991.

I think that's the right model. Anyway, it's looks and sounds fricken sweet lol.

Nice Taste in instrument, btw. The Soprano Sax has a very nice sound, doesn't it?

oh yeah. I'm a big fan of soprano sax players =]. Even if Kenny G drifts sharp and is very bright, I still respect his playing ability...because it's amazing.

my prefer instrument??? ahhh the violin!!!!! i love it, is the most beautiful sound.. aaaand the piano jejeje, is the lider instrument... hummm.... i like to the flute, jejeje... for the sweet sound joooooooooooooo:heh:

If you like the violin, listen to a lot of Kansas music =] The violin player is absolutely amazing

I've always wanted to learn violin but instead went with piano and don't regret it. But, I wish I could play both :( As for dream instrument here it is:
http://www.kawaius.com/main_links/grands/ex.html
Sigh* if only i could get this...I would sit playing all day. Even random notes being banged sounds like an awesome melody on this piano.

My latest instrument obsession is the steel drums. That and the cello but that one is really old, from when I was like two.

i dunno if it's my dream instrument..but i want to learn how to play the cello and the chinese flute (dunno the formal name....).

Yeah any traditional oriental instruments would be so awesome.

really??. I hear that song.. ohhh is really beautiful!!!!!!!!!... I love it... but where I can find the sheet? of course... on violin jejejeje ohhh please i like this song.... i like the sheet!!!!!

My dream instruments huh....

That would be the full 85keys(or 88?) grand piano...
and what do you call that flute where you blow from its side? I've always wanted to try that...
and a violin...

Arrgh still stuck with this 61 keys piano!!!

I would love to play the bass flute.

I so want a cello, i heard Pachebel Canon in D being played by duet of a cello and violin and it sounded so beatiful

I don't play anything but I have always wanted to learn how to play the ocarina.

i now play trumpet and i think thats my dream instrument...i really like it.. but i think i like picollo too... and violin

um...well i currently play piano, clarinet and drums but there are soo many instruments i still want to learn its impossible to choose just one...lets see i think i can make it a top 5... flute, cello, violin, harp, saxophone
hey i have heard that the saxophone is quite similar to learning clarinet...is that true?

Hmm....well i play clarinet first, then trumpet and then alto sax....but for some reason I have always wanted to play the alto clarinet....idk if it is because how it sounds or just because it is called the bastard instrument....either way I wanna at least try it some day...

Eh, embouchure wise, it's similar. But, the notes on the sax favors the flute's key system more. At least that's what I say, because when I started playing the sax, pressing the keys were similar to the flutes, but the embouchure was difficult. At the same time, a clarinetist switched to the sax too, she got the embouchure easy, but the fingerings a little hard.

An oboe is my dream instrument for now. ^_^

Chapman Stick Grand (http://www.stick.com/instruments/tenstringgrand/) with MIDI outputs to a Minimoog Voyager for the bass and a SIDstation on the melody.

If they ever made a VanDoren Bb Clarinet, I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET IT!

Vandoren works miracles.
I wouldn't care if it cost up to 10,000$ it would definately be worth buying. =]

I would really like to try the contrabass clarinet some time. :lol:

why not?:huh:
there's nothing wrong with Vandoren.

anyways,
a Yamaha trombone would be nice too. =]

Steinway & Sons; Model B

My teacher and I use that at Steinway to practice and have our lessons on. It's so great. :drool:

drum line, harp and turntables. lol

Harp!
I love that sweet sound. It's like magic and serenity would talk at the same time.

Mine would have to be the saprano sax. ^_^ Me and my friend want to learn it together so we could be the only people in the band who play it.

Mine would have to be the saprano sax. ^_^ Me and my friend want to learn it together so we could be the only people in the band who play it.

Lol me too. Me and my friend who plays alto with me are like competing for it. Even though, he has, like 5 years under his belt, and I don't even have 1 year down.

I'm like, the only first alto who has been playing a reed instrument for less than a year.

But, I also want to play a piccolo(cause I also play flute for a year(since like 3 days ago)). And maybe trumpet or trombone.

Soprano Saxes are uber sexy though.

Lol. Yea, me and my friend are really wanting to, but I think I'm going to beat her because my dad said that he would buy one for me if I really want to play it, though, I have no idea how the heck he thinks he is going to pay for one. >.<

Sweet. I play the Clarinet, and I've been playing it for almost 6 years.

Ooooo! My best friend plays the flute! She's been playing for 5 years.

Mhm. Mhm. UBER sexy.

I want a harp

I'd love to have a working (alto, tenor, or bari) saxophone.

Looks like I'm getting a job over the summer!^.^

I play violin and a Stradivarius violin would be so awesome.... Prolly not gonna happen to me though T_T (from wikipedia-->)A Stradivarius made in the 1680s or during Stradivari's Brescian period from 1690-1700, could be worth several hundred thousand dollars or more at today's prices in auction. If made during Stradivari's "golden period" from 1700 to 1720, depending on condition, the instrument can be worth several million. They rarely come up for sale and the highest price paid for a Stradivarius (or any musical instrument) at public auction was The Hammer, made in 1707, which sold for US$3,544,000 on May 16, 2006

Wow, that's expensive... hehe, i don't think you would be able to own one of those Stradivarius violins
I guess my dream instruments would be either a Yamaha CFIIS or a Steinway D, both of these are concert grand pianos, and by the sound of that i think the cost would be over $100,000.... it would be sooo awesome if i actually owned one

I'm in love with my ocarinas, but they lack range. So I dream of owning and being able to play a triple ocarina. It has three windways, so it'd be difficult to learn, but even more difficult to get.

For those who haven't seen one, look here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITGas0eHE5I Isn't it adorable?

I play the piano but i'd love to play electric bass or drums as well.

Haven't posted in forever, but I have a new dream instrument...

I'd own the darn thing already if it didn't cost at least $3,000. :bleed:

Here's mine:

I LOVE it!!! But I can't afford it...

A Stienway & Sons Grand Piano - $60,000

Oh my, when I see that I've owned one-I'll faint !

i think thats every pianists' dream piano
its my dream piano too
it would be an honour to just stand beside it
i havent seen one in real life
have you?

Bigger grand pianos have better response and action than smaller grands imo. I've played on a 9 foot yamaha grand. The action and response was really nice, had more grips on the keys, and mistakes were reduced significantly as opposed to keyboards that try to mimic their feel. So my dream instrument is a concert grand.

So far 2 elements were discussed in this thread, which were Solid and gas. there are 3 more elements also. Plasma, quintessance, and liquid. Here are my second dream instruments. Hydraulophone, Theremin, and plasmaphone.

My main instrument is clarinet but I also play the flute, the oboe, and a tad of piano (started lessons a mnth or so ago) I would love to play violin, Im definitely takin strings next year!
