What's Your Favorite Musical Instrument?

Wednesday April 23, 2008
I can never decide what mine is. Some days, I like the quiet elegance of the kora. Others, I prefer the raucous, riot-startin' accordion. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Zimbabwean music, so therefore I've been digging a lot of mbira, a delicately rhythmic thumb piano that is sacred to the Shona people. Leave a comment and tell us what your favorite instrument is... and if you're feeling really brave, tell us which instrument you can't stand!

Fretless bass. Yep, I’m a bass player.
Have a great weekend!
