As a pianist, I have to politely partially disagree. While the organ has more to think about (like the multiple layers and the foot pedals) I’m like 99% sure that there are no dynamics for organ. Pianists not only have to read music, but in some cases, each and every note is different in dynamics and the fine tuning of how hard you press the note takes years to get down.

[@michaelhoogendoorn3179]

I thought piano was the easiest instrument to play. Just touch it and wham. Perfect note. It's certainly the easiest one for me to plunk something out by ear on.

Number 0: The Triangle While looking simple at first, the Triangle is difficult to learn. While playing the triangle, not only do you have to have to hold it up, but you have to keep the whole band in time. It's really like playing 6 instruments at once. You have to use one hand to hold it up, one had to use the stick to make the sound, you have to use your eyes to read the music, you have to use your legs to stand up, you have to use your nose to breath, and you have to use your brain to do everything else. Only true masters can play such a difficult instrument.

[@Julitte]

I know it's meant to be a joke but fun fact, french horns and tubas have equal length of tubing. Double french horns are even a bit longer. I'd say the reason why the french horn is so hard to play is because its tubing is extremely conical : its mouthpiece is smaller than the trumpet's and its bell is larger than the euphonium's. As a beginner, your intonation will be all over the place on a French horn.

Number 0: Kazoo. Even though this plastic instrument may seem like a toddler’s toy, this instrument requires a tremendous amount of skill and proficiency. You have to use one hand to place the kazoo in your mouth, and use the other hand to hold the kazoo in place. You also have to get your respiratory system working together (totally forgetting the idea of breathing) to let the air flow into the kazoo. It takes several years of training to be able to produce a decent sound while also using your own two feet to stand up while playing. This instrument needs tons of coordination to be able to play it. You also need to hum a tune into the kazoo in order to produce a melody, which is already a daunting task including learning the proper position of the kazoo, music theory, and also *paying your own money* to buy the instrument.

[@randomgoose2905]

the triangle: this instrument takes years of mastery to produce the perfect set of vibrations, whilst requiring a set of hands capable of holding the instrument itself in a position that is capable of producing these long lasting vibrations, while the other hand has to have the capability of hitting the instrument with a miniscule metal bar at the perfect angle and at a preferable velocity of around who knows what i never played it, making it 2 instruments that require a high sense of precision, coordination, positioning, and endurance by having to stand up in some occasions. any disturbance while playing this could shatter the player's focus, possibly messing him up and playing an ear breaking ding.

I believe the Oboe is difficult, my sister was learning how to play and every time she practiced it sounded like a duck being murdered

[@E-Ruu]

Here's what I think is hard with it. 1. Staying in tune (probably applies to all double reeds) 2. Embouchure and breath support (it's more likely to feel your lips cramp up than run out of breath) 3. Dynamics control (mastering embouchure and breath support is key to knowing the "little details" on playing softer/louder) 4. Avoiding the tendency to "bite" the reed to compensate it being either dry, out of pitch, etc. 5. Reeds are sensitive af + can make/break oboists at any level

[@duran2398]

@@E-Ruu Just to add onto your great comment, that staying in tune is one in the same with embouchure since if you get tired and clamp down more (not bite mind you, clamp as it tightening of the muscles that hold your lips to make a bed for the reed) you go sharp or make a smile face and cant even get the reed to vibrate. Being one of the few and the proud who learned trumpet before switching to oboe that is where the struggle comes. As I get tired I tend to tighten up as the muscle memory is easiest for me when tired. Some people get tired and open up to much and go flat or no sound at all for the opposite reasons. I would say that Embouchure and breath support are your bread and butter for a lot of it. After that its the fingerings, keys, reading, and sight reading which are all kind of the easy things to learn for most. But there is more to it then just that. Way more. And that video did not highlight it at all. You have the fact that since your only viberating a small read and have an even smaller opening you get a build up of air and no real release. Its more like holding your breath while playing instead of running out of it. And then at the end of a phrase need a breath only to find there is still no space for it when you do and hence seeing spots on the next long phrase. And that is where that breath control comes back so that you can keep playing even though you dont have enough oxygen anymore but all that air still and hence keep going. It will also save you from squeaking on low C and a few other notes. You also need time to learn to play evenly since the oboe as it climbs loses resonance and power and gains piercing but there are random notes like mid C and B that like to pop out more. Just to name a few. But that video says we only need to learn to hold our mouth right and keep the reed wet... Right guess I will try to audition for the Symphony now after getting back into playing for 3 months after not for about 12 years. Must be a pro by now... *shakes head* *Face palm*

oboe is definetly difficult but i think theres atleast one wood wind insturment thats more diffocult

[@duran2398]

@@binosamaladen I don’t know. All instruments are difficult if you want to get good at them. Each has its own quirks. I for example have touched many instruments and was at least able to play competently. Marimba, piano, most drums, all thee brass. How good it was was up for debate but they at least sounded ok. Then I touched a flute... good lord. I could not make a sound out of it and admitted defeat pretty quickly once I got it to make a small whistle sound. I knew from the start it wasn’t going to be easy with me still playing brass at the time and just seeing the mechanics of how that thing works. Oboe is one of the hardest out there though. Many people agree with it being up with French horn and violin. That you can google if you want.

Well, this is what WatchMojo deserves. And seriously, as a guitarist I was willing to throw sharp objects at the screen when I heard what they said about the guitar. I'm self trained, I haven't played many classical pieces, but... Finger picking on the classical guitar is one thing, finger picking on the electric guitar is a different thing, finger picking on the electric guitar with distortion is an entirely difficult beast. The sole fact that what you're playing goes through an amp means you have to be much more careful when it comes to muting the strings. (This is something that TwoSet frequently get wrong about electric instruments, by the way - they're not easier to play, they're different. The first few months of playing the electric guitar were quite difficult to me, because I was used to playing without amplification - and suddenly the amp amplified every single mistake I made.)

[@harvestedvoltage4324]

As an accordionist, playing the instrument IS a lot like playing two instruments at once. The left hand doesn’t only control bass notes. Chords can be played as well (one button playing an entire chord). Plus, the whole thing is arranged in a manner totally unlike what you’d be used to on a piano. The Stradella system is the most common, with notes being arranged following the circle of fifths. This is actually a pretty intuitive system for playing a wide variety of genres, with the exception of some classical music with complicated left-hand parts. For this, the free-bass system is usually employed, albeit this configuration is quite rare and it is rather expensive to obtain accordions that use this system. Anyway, just thought I would share since I didn’t really see any accordionists in the comments.

@@rae5425 Good for you, although I find it hard to believe that someone who's only played or two weeks can cleanly play in anywhere past first position, that is if we're talking about the same piece from whatever anime it was that popped up when I googled it. I started playing when I was five years old and hadn't even fully developed my motor skills, obviously it was going to take me some time to be able to fully understand and be able to apply the right pressure, speed etc. Not to mention that I lived in a coal mining town where the only music teacher specialised in piano and I had to get fortnightly lessons because that shit was expensive. The older I got the more I practiced but still with a teacher who could barely play the violin it was hard. I ended up taking a four year break, and about two years ago I got back into it with an amazing teacher. The reason I still fuck up sometimes is because when I play for crowds my anxiety kicks in and causes my hands to shake or change the bow pressure/speed, not to mention that the E string of a violin is very scratchy anyways the further down you get, but I'm sure you know all about that. And just in case you'd still like to make me seem like the dumbass who expects to be amazing with little to no practice a day, my teacher and I have just started learning Paganini's Caprice 24, which I can almost garantuee will take more than two weeks to play cleanly and "master", not that you can master a piece; there's always room for improvement.

[@andrewcook9011]

Why can't we just say that all instruments are equally difficult depending on the level of mastery you want to get to? Heck, even triangle gets hard if you want to be really good. Some instruments are easier to learn the foundational knowledge of, but I think that not a single instrument is easier or harder to master than another.

I generally feel like piano and most brass instruments are probably the hardest for beginners to learn but I feel when you get into the more advanced stuff, drums can get pretty hard to master. The size some of those kits can get pretty insane.

[@The_Jazziest_Coffee]

finally, someone that realises the sheer ridiculousness of drums the most advanced drum kits are more or less specialised to a drummer's liking (position of the drum toms, alongside cymbals), but specifically how you hit each tom/cymbal changes the sound of it as a drummer, i feel validated rn by your comment lmfaoooo

[@tktspeed1433]

I feel like piano would be decently easy to learn, I mean, the notes are all in a line with the pitch going up or down, with the half steps differentiated as the black keys and such.

How is piano harder than an organ? That's very backwards

[@amayapascualcajal2580]

Why? Organs have the extra pedals but they don't have dynamics like piano have. And that is in the very top of what is difficult with piano. The finger technic seems not so much for organs.

[@aegeanbo]

In playing the piano, you touch affects the sound produced. In organ playing the sound is predetermined.

[@Xionma1]

Because while playing piano you “must” sightread, while the organ allows you to practice.

@@anonymouslyanonymous9646 As someone else with years of classical guitar along with dreadnought and concert steel string guitar experience, this is a silly argument. Acoustic relates to the type of sound a guitar produces. Don't get me wrong, Classical guitar is used for completely different music than a concert acoustic, but that doesn't mean they are not both acoustic guitars.
