The hardest instrument is the triangle because no one has ever played flight of the bumblebee on a triangle.
Sacrilegious
Damn true
😳😳😳
The video linked here proves how difficult the triangle is to play:

Organ: Literally 4 pianos with pedals
WatchMojo: Damn piano is harder
Ah but you see with organ you didn't have to read the music you played. All piano players are weird amnesiacs who can only remember music through paper.
*DumbMojo
And they say accordion is less hard than piano. 😂
@@Pinball1 *what?!*
*cough* dynamics *cough*
I love how they ranked playing piano as harder than playing an organ, when an organ is basically a piano on steroids
Lmao yeah
Piano times three, pedal keys times 32, and stop knobs. A bit easier than one set of keys and 3 pedals that don't play notes.
Piano on steroids 💀
WHEN U AGREE TO THESE MEMES AS A PIANIST
an organ is very different from a piano
I think piano is the hardest because as a pianist, we have to keep track of all 88 keys at once to make sure they dont run away. Its like playing 88 instruments times ten because each finger has to watch each key.
I can't tell if you are joking
I'm joking don't worry
lol😂🤣
I've been trying to relearn the piano and i'll admit it's been hard but that's because of my declining attention span that makes me not want to commit to learning not cause it's a hard instrument. But yeah piano was the first instrument I learned to play for a reason, in my opinion it's a good beginner instrument. If you can learn it you can learn any instrument in my opinon.
Yes I agree
Top 10 hardest instruments ranking:
9th - organ
5th - piano
As a pianist, I am confused.
Same bro
Well, you should use Simply Organ. In 3 weeks you'll find it easier to learn than piano. In one month you'll play bumblebee on organ.
Imo it makes sense because piano repertoire is way harder since we had Liszt and Rachmaninoff running around seeing how hard they cold possibly make a piece.
@@m.adlya.6394 lmfaooooooooo
@@m.adlya.6394 Simply organ Hahahahaa
“Pianists always have to sight read!” Ah, yes. Because memorization certainly isn’t a huge part of piano tradition.
If that bit about "always" having to read (sight or no) were true it would be impossible to improvise!
I also like that it's the only instrument om the list where you "have to sight read". Because all those other instruments on the list always just go by grove, with no written music behind it.
Edward V Please, we all know every other instrument does it by ear. Sight reading? They’ve never heard of it.

@@baguetteeeeeeee Could you switch between them in under 30 seconds though?
Comparing them isn't really possible since they are too different from each other. But it being lower than piano is a meme
@@baguetteeeeeeee I could play chords on a piano despite never having played one because major chords are just the first, third and fifth note of a scale. And I am guessing the layout on an organ is similar.
@@tktspeed1433no, they’re the first, _fourth_, and fifth of a scale
Me: I play Guitar......it has 6 strings
DumbMojo: Oh so you play six instrument at once

Viola is the most difficult instrument. If you think about it, nobody has ever been able to play it well
Viola jokes aside, good viola sounds BEAUTIFUL!!! I hope you don’t actually think this.
@@thespeedyyoshi All jokes bro. I'm actually a French horn player. I know what is to play basically a meme😂

@gJb 1 lol why so salty
I love how for the guitar they used a VERY uncommon 8 string just to make it look even harder.
that was a bass
Not that uncommon. And it being an 8 string is not needed for it to be hard considering that stuff done by people like Tommy Emmanuel is much more challenging than AAL
@@tabkg5802 Still doesn't take away from the fact that guitar is one of the easiest to learn. Easier than violin for sure lol.
@@themadpaddler9043but as always, it’s very hard to master. Guitar is not easy by any means
Pretty sure mastery at any instrument (that I can think of) is very difficult
Dumbmojo: while playing the violin, you have to place your fingers perfectly without frets.
Violas, cellos, and upright basses:
Am I a joke to you?
Frrr😭😭
*Cries in cello
My opinion as a violinist, all of the fretless string instruments are very hard, but the violin has the hardest repertoire. The others just haven't had as much of a chance yet. Violinists have Paganini, Ernst, Sarasate, Wienawski, Ysaye, etc. You don't really see composers like that for viola, cello and double bass
@@joshtheviolinistVery true. However, viola is always the hardest because they are always out of tune.
@@cookiegirl1097 true, I could not tell you now many times I have heard an out of tune c string from violas in orchestra
I love how they put piano as harder to learn than the organ. Ah yes, walking is harder to learn than running.
Yeah Idk what the hell they were thinking putting organ so low on the list o.o
Ah yes, the piano is harder than the organ.
Organ: Bitch, I'm basically 5 pianos I-
THATS WHAT IM SAYING
I play both and organ is definitely harder. I would've imagined it's common sense.
Interesting. I play both and find the piano to be much harder in the end, due to the dynamics in playing being a lot more complex.
Like, it's harder to get to a base level where you have sufficient control over all aspects of the instrument on the organ.
But to get from there to real class, the phrasing, the taste in nuance... This is where the piano pretty much runs away with it IMO.
"Basics are easy but mastering is difficult"
Hmm sounds like every instrument I can think of
@@heyytheree As expected from the most difficult instrument. Not even basics are easy
@@heyytheree fact.
The organ looks like it's the hardest to play with so many keys pedals and stops
Nah. Every melody-based instrument is hard. I mean, us drummers don't have to deal with chords, notes, sevenths and music theory at all, that's hard shit man. Guitar basics, for example, involve how multiple notes sound good when played together: that's much harder than hitting a drum with a stick with sorta consistency
Ahh yes the floor is made up of floor
The Saxophone is the hardest you need to BLOW AIR so that's 32 instruments right there. You also have to use your hands, which is 29 more, and sometimes you have to TAP YOUR FEET so that's 62 instruments. It isn't difficult to play around a campfire, but it's hard to learn so we'll just at 30 instruments and go with it.
That's 153 instruments guys.
What are you saying????
@rongting365 he's commenting on how watchmojo thinks that an accordion is two instruments because you need two hands to play it.
Sax is not the hardest ☠️☠️ literally all those reasons apply to all wind instruments
@@long7463thats-
thats the joke
they actually got the french horn exactly right, everyone thinks you suck and its literally because your instrument is just harder
IKR also the notes and partials are actually so close together
They didn't explain why it's hard. "You need lots of endurance to push air through" is like only 1% of why it's hard
The funny thing about horn is that the average horn player kinda sucks, and a mediocre player sounds like a pro in comparison, and a truly good horn player is a gift from God.
@@blackmage1276 exactly, their one real reason was you need breath control. If that’s the case why not pick flute (one of the hardest wind instruments in terms of amount of air needed). Or if they absolutely had to pick a brass instrument tuba is easily the most breath needed in brass.
@@THall-vi8cp That is funny, I didn't do the french horn but I did it's cousin the trumpet and I was literally deemed the best player in my class because I have good endurance and breath control even though I was actually mediocre. Maybe it's a horn thing.
I like how they deem piano harder than the pipe organ like W HA T ? *confused noises*
That’s because ummmm.... hmmmm, got it! Because the drums keep the beat.
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.
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. I only mess around with piano and guitar tbf. Flute, clarinet, cello, violin, organ, and recorder (the other instruments in my house) do not interest me.
@@joekim9790 there are dynamics for organ, but you don’t reach them by pressure on the keys. You have to use different stop combinations or with some organs, there’s a swell pedal that operates shutters.
Piano is quite easy to learn , but when you reach the point where you have to think about the sound, not making random accents, phrasing, dynamics...THIS is difficult
Watch Mojo: “Holding a violin gets tiring, as you have to hold it up with your arm outstretched.”.
Flutes: Am I a joke to you?
I so agree, and the flute is pretty much the instrument that requires the most air, it's really up there!!!
Eyy flute specific section
Colourful Rainbow also tuba requires a lot of air too
Same for triangle, tho... :)
Agreee.. holding flute make a 90degrees ( almost i think) , lead the lip on the right position, breathing technique, fingering chart.
I almost dropped my fluite while doing C 😅
I love how they show a video of a person playing piano without sheet music while talking about how pianists need to sight read constantly
My first band teacher once told me this and it's something I live by
Every instrument is impossibly hard to learn, the fact you are willing to pick up and try an instrument is a skill in itself, and continuing is even harder.
Take a triangle, you're trying to hit a small metal piece, holding it correct, tapping it in the same place eveytime, while reading your music, and watching the teacher, and doing dynamics (ever try an accent on a triangle?) And keeping yourself in time, and keeping your band in time, and more
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.
hahahaha dumb mojo is sacrilegious

"Every guitarist is so triggered right now." As a classical guitarist, that is one of the most accurate things I have heard.
"Coordinating both halves of you to play in sync can be challenging"
The drummer and the bassist: Am I a joke to you?
Especially considering bassists usually don't use picks, which makes them have to control the other half a bit more than us pick using guitarists (classical guitarists I do not understand, they are some form of demigod or something.)
"whether electric or acoustic, the guitar is played pretty much the same way"

Aquarius Amethyst same man, but I’m too lazy to learn other instruments😅
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.
It generalizes and simplifies everything to make it easy to rank for a stupid top ten video.
What bout the triangle?
I guess instruments that don't have a lot of notes could be thought of as being easier, like a drum or cymbals, but by god do they have to have rythm in their veins.
True.Kinda true
@@tktspeed1433 what do u mean by "don't have a lot of notes"? have u seen a drum set music sheet?
Dumb Mojo: Percussion, even in an orchestral setting, are used for keeping everyone in time
Conductors: Guess I'll die
here's the actual ranking:
1. there shouldn't be one
2. not everyone is fit to play every instrument
3. all instruments are difficult to learn
4. some might be harder but you literally can't make a proper ranking unless you play all of them yourself
6. Some people have stronger lungs while others have almost no lung capacity and control, making it harder to play for example brass and woodwinds
7. Some people have tiny hands or strange joints which can make it harder to play instruments like piano, double bass, bass guitar, violin, etc
5. Piano
Organ should have been 1 or 2
Piano is generally harder as there are two lines of music
"You have to use both hands while simultaneously sight reading"
*proceeds to show clip of someone playing without sight reading*
*facepalm*
I cringed so hard at that part!
And they showed the absolute worst example they could have found, because Glenn Gould has never been seen with sheet music on his piano. There's a video of him recording the Goldberg Variations for a record and he's just playing the whole thing like in a live concert. Probably didn't even bring the sheet music with him to the studio.

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.
The hardest thing about accordion is finding people who are willing to learn an instrument that sounds so goddamn awful
@@mistersonnen848 ???
@@myenglishisbadpleasecorrec5446 what? Lol
I agree to an extent, but its not that different from having to co-ordinate with piano, if anything its simpler. The stradella system was an amazing introduction to music theory and understanding chord progression.

I wont claim to be an expert, just a lowly woodwind player here, but why is the piano placed higher than the organ?? The organ is literally a piano but with like more pianos on top???? It should be more difficult?????
This is correct. If you know how to play keyboard/piano, you can transition to organ once you learn the stops and pedal work.
The repertoire made specifically for the two instruments is actually quite different.
hell yeah!! this whole list makes zero sense
It is, this whole video is just bullshit. The only reason the piano is harder is its repertoire.
The amount of stops and pedals on a organ compared to a piano is god tier should be way harder

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.
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
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.
@@tktspeed1433It’s not half steps, it’s sharps and flats. But it is easy for beginners.
maybe some brass instruments but definitely not trumpet. as a trumpet player it is pretty easy to pick up and play simple notes. sure once you play higher notes and more complicated articulations ect it gets really hard, but you can start playing really quickly

Tuba that literally is about 9.6 meters of twisted tubing: Am I a hole to you?
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.

Even though, I doubt that anyone would actually see this. As a drummer myself, I have to say, that in most of the Big Bands I have been in, the drums are like a metronome for the rest.

As an oboe player, I’m dying at the description of what’s hard or significant about oboe playing! 😂 And I’d say piano and organ are much harder in the long run. Oboe music usually isn’t wildly challenging and I don’t practice much anymore. But when I need to accompany a musical show and there’s a 3 inch thick binder of wildly challenging music? Yeah, I’m practicing several hours a day for that! Oboe is one note at a time, piano is up to 10 at a time and requires you to move your hands accurately all over the piano every other second.
It is usually 2 chords or 1 chord and a moving hand between 1-3 but yeah... 10 notes IG if you want to count the 3 pedals there would be 10 notes and a sound regulator 😅

Rachmaninoff. Scriabin. Beethoven, Stravinsky, Godowsky, Prokofiev. Bach. And more. They all have immense polyrhythmic challenges, agility tests, musicality, and more. Liszt is not the only composer who wrote hard piano music, only the most flashy.
@@heyytheree yes but the piano has an even larger repertoire. Like the amount of repertoire for the piano isn't really comparable to any other instrument.

Bassoon is harder
@@slothcorgi3988 No it is not- Not even close lmfao
I was told years ago that the ukulele is a good starting point as you “can get music from it quickly”, but a lot depends on how deep you want to go with your instrument as to how hard it is to learn. It’s all down to the time and effort you put into it.
I’m currently leaning a much maligned instrument, the recorder, is it easy? No! There is a whole world out there with this instrument beyond “Hot Cross Buns” (which is where most people seem to draw the line). It’s going to be a long journey but fun… 😊

"hardest instruments to play"
Puts guitar on the list
"Any one can play at the campfire level"
All guitarist can play 'Almoraima' on his acoustic guitars, lmao
No, it's hard because the high e string might attack your face while you're tuning it.
It's so scary to tune the high e string. That string is evil.
It hit me under my eyen and made a big a** wound.
The finger pain will dissapair after some days. But the high e string will always be scary to tune.
The way they called drums a metronome
i play the french horn and it’s a very difficult instrument to play. it’s in a very awkward position to play in with your hand in the bell and the overall shape and size of the instrument. it takes lots of practice and patience also. you also usually don’t have many people who play it either. you have to get the right amount of air to make the sound and sometimes with to much or to little you won’t get the note/sound/pitch you are really looking for. all instruments are very difficult to play, because you have to be dedicated towards playing it.
Watchmojo: "Guitar is played pretty much the same way"
Also Watchmojo: "It can be played with a variety of techniques and styles"
Yes, one hand is used on the frets to make notes and the other is used to manipulate the strings to make sound. What is hard to understand about that?
@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy you can have a highly skilled classical guitarist that has no idea how to play an electric guitar. So saying it is played the same way is like saying badminton and tennis are played the same way because they both involve swinging rackets and moving inside a court.
@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy actually, you can strike/play notes with your left hand and fret with your right hand. There's also harmonics, pinch harmonics, slap harmonics, slapping in general lol, percussion guitar, divebombs, doing polyrhythms while tapping and a bunch of other techniques that don't involve what u just said and that vary completely depending on the style lol
@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy You're a clown dude.
wtf what theyre saying is that every guitar, acoustic or electric, is played pretty much the same way. it has nothing to do with techniques or styles.
""Every guitar is played in the same way"....shows Tosin Abasi who, literally, plays the guitar unlike anyone else...
Now I want to see Two Set team up with a classical guitarist and review Animals as leaders. Tosin Abasi’s use of the full range of an eight string guitar is awe inspiring. He definitely one of the best examples of why one wouldn’t just down tune a guitar.
true! Tosin, Mateus Asato, Tim Henson, Ichika, they're the today's virtuosos
Yeah Tosin Abasi it's the next level alive
Lol yeah. I love Animals as Leaders, it's like the one band I like that my metal purist friends "accept" as music or something. Because fuck Opeth and Nightwish I guess lol.
Right, Mojo said "An electric and acoustic guitar is played the exact same way" lmao
this is how i would describe each instrument if i was drunk off my ass and trying to sound smart
every instrument is easy if ur learning hot cross buns and hard if you start getting into classical stuff. every instrument takes effort 😭😭
Let's face it, No matter what the instrument is, Mastering it will always be difficult.
except the triangle lmao
@@janamahlich6406 Yeah, you're right
@@lizzybach4254 The triangle is challenging in its own way. You have to remain focused for the entire duration of the concert while waiting on your cue. Your 2 notes need perfect timing or everybody feels something is wrong.
@@janamahlich6406 may or not be stealing the top comment but no one has ever played flight of the bumblebee on a triangle
@@FranziskaNagel445 to be fair tho if you're playing the triangle in an actual orchestra setting you're probably doing the rest of the percussion instruments so you would have more things to do. depending on the piece you might still have to wait for a very long time tho rip
"The violin is difficult because holding it up with your arm outstretched gets tiring" is like saying "Brain surgery is really difficult, because standing for hours at a time without eating or drinking is really difficult". That's literally the least of their worries.
It's obvious that there were absolutely zero musicians involved in the making of this dumbMojo video. The ignorance is palpable.
The writing is terrible. Sounds like a 10 year old doing a shitty job on a homework
Marching band instruments also get tiring because you gotta march in beat while holding them. So difficult! :o
Watchmojo don't put effort on most of it's videos, I found this one video called "Top 10 Weirdest Anime" they called Assassination Classroom weird because a mutant octopus is in that anime, I mean take Pokemon, it has fictional monsters, then they called a teacher that is a mutant octopus weird, that is like Hulk being a teacher then every trying to kill it.
As a trombone player that easy lol
That is the reason why I don't watch Mojo or Bright Side. I click on and start laughing immediately because I instantly know I know more about the subject than their whole team of researchers and producers. Crazily they still have huge numbers of subs, likes and followers. There must be a fairly large size of the population just too gullible who believe every word the say.

“Piano is playing 2 instruments at once”
AND ORGAN ISN’T?
Isaac M-C the organ is built more complicated but songs played on it aren’t like some of the piano pieces. That’s the main reason I guess
I feel like playing Organ is like playing 5 instruments at once lol.
Vico no. The organ has equally difficult pieces. The organ is a piano times 5 and you need to play the bass with your feet. Also dont forget the buttons lmao
But i guess both is hard in different ways. The dynamics in piano is pretty damn hard too
organ isn't difficult because it is like playing 2 instruments, you actually play on 3 different instruments
Eddie losing his sanity and Editor-San giving zero fugues makes this a comedy masterpiece. 😆

10 reasons why the recorder is the hardest instrument ever
1. the recorder needs to be held up with your hands :0
2. you have to blow into it to make sounds :0
3. you have to breathe or you will die :0
4. you have to cover the holes to make different noises :0
5. you have to do the do :0
6. you will not be able to play lf you die of hunger :0
7. you cant' have a heart attack when playing the recorder :0
8. you can't have a seizure while playing the recorder :0
9. you can't eat the recorder :0
10. you shouldn't chop the recorder to bits because if you do you will not be able to play it :0
thats why the recorder is so hard to play
“You can’t eat the recorder”
If I try hard enough I can ;)

This is like that snobby kid in high school who doesn't know anything about music, but still insists on using music terminology to sound smart.
"Dude, that piece sounds so sharp. I wonder how they do those double stops on piano?"
"double stops"
Yes I wonder how they are playing major thirds
hmmmmm
Oh I know try playing a major tenth
Exactly. This narrator tries to use big words to sound smart, but it’s clear he doesn’t understand what they actually mean, evidenced by his use of the words in explanations that don’t make sense and aren’t accurate
@@lperseusl Umm, are you referring to Twoset? Twoset isn't toxic at all. Their sense of humor is full of satire and irony, so sometimes they pretend to be overly prideful as a *joke.* Although I sometimes think too many of their jokes revolve around making fun of other instruments, it's still very obvious that they aren't being serious. Like when they talk crap about violas, it's all a joke and in good fun.... They don't *actually* hate violas.

Pipe organ should be higher on the list. It's not just playing all the notes with both hands and both feet, but also understanding the principles of the instrument well enough to completely change how you register it whenever you sit down at a different instrument than you normally play. Every pipe organ is different: different ranks, different divisions, different manuals, different console layouts, different feel of the keys, different acoustics, different resonance chambers, different swell divisions, different solo ranks, different levels of repair of each area of the organ... You aren't just playing a musical instrument in a building. You are playing the whole building.
I'm not an organ player and even I am offended that organ was so far down in the list
Wow, I was standing in a magnificent neo-gothic church one day after Mass as the pipe organ in the loft was playing us out, ff, and I was thinking just that... the whole building IS the instrument.
Not to mention the delay between pressing a key and the sound coming...
And it's not like you can practice on the instument you're performing on whenever you want. In the same vein: carillon. Mess up, and the whole city heard it...
Organ should be higher than piano
I would love to see twoset try to do some 4 limb coordination on a drumset...
As a drummer in a metal band, yep, we are normally the ones in charge of keeping the tempo so guitar, singer , bass .. can play at tempo.
Doesn't mean the others don't have a sense of tempo, the problem is that they tend to fluctuate, but drummers usually have a click-track on the IEM, and sometimes sounds, effects and other stuff has to sound on time. Miss a hit and you're out
Also mention that a drum kit is indeed a conjunction of different percussive instruments, so yeah, playing the drums is playing multiple instruments at the same time
Just wanted to say that, love your content, keep it up! 🤘
Twoset in the beginning: Let's start watching with an unbiased perspective
Twoset less than ten seconds later: LETS ATTACK THEM FOR EVERY THING THEY SAY
😂😂
haha truee 🤣
I'm happy they defended the guitar tho!
Well the watchmojo video was really shit
@@evelynlomusic7802 I'm glad they defended piano gang as well
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.)
An instrument's difficulty is determined by how far YOU take your playing.
Josiah Wilson could not have said it better
Yeah, i can't believe they are making something stupid like this, i played guitar, bass, and drum, and never said this one is harder than this one, try to do double hand tapping 120 bpm and i guess every violinist will cry
Woke af 💯
Perfect comment.
Yes, but no. Basically what you’re saying is true, but also with some instruments is just much more possible than with others. But on the other hand the difficulty of an instrument lies in the way you produce sound with it. Violin is not even close as easy to play than a fluet for instance.
This video is the definition of someone taking everything too literally.
7:10 I agree, but I had a non-musical teacher say (referring to a performance by a fellow student), “it was good, but I didn’t know you were sightreading the music.” I don’t know where the idea that sightreading means reading sheet music comes from, but I believe this line is an example of that.
"Position is everything on the violin"
LITERALLY EVEY OTHER INSTRUMENT REQUIRES POSITION AND POSTURE
ikr and the points they made for violin can be used for cello, double bass and viola
Exactly
@@jude4614 ikr!!! And I’m surprised violin was number 1 as the hardest instrument especially since I play the violin lol
Almost everything they say about every instrument applies to every other instrument. Not always, of course, since some don't have foot pedals, for example. But reading sheet music isn't exclusive to piano, using two hands in coordination isn't exclusive to guitar, and so on.
@@jude4614 I'm glad you listed viola after double bass. I understand putting cello first, but double bass is definitely superior to viola.

As they said the phrase "sight reading," they were using a clip of a guy who had no sheet music anywhere in sight 🤣🤣🤣
When I speak, the sound waves of my voice typically travel the average length of 180 meters, and in every cubic centimeter of air, there are nine million million atoms, so if I were to assume my voice did not travel behind me or below me but straight forward and upward in a perfect quarter of a sphere with a radius of 180 meters (6,100,000 cubic meters), it would be like playing 5.49e21 instruments at once, or 5,490,000,000,000,000,000,000 instruments.
One can easily test which instrument is the hardest one, by using a hydraulic press. Personally, I have no desire to find out.
What's the difference between a piano and a cello? The piano burns longer.

So, the bass?
Saxophone would win 😂😂😂😂(sax gang where y'all at)
