Bagpipes. One of the few instruments that can both make you cry and make you want to charge into battle.

One of my favourite Arrested Development lines is this “And, like all bagpipe music, it was hard to tell if it was good music played horribly, or horrible music played well.” :-)

Seriously though, it can sound mighty impressive when done right - living in Edinburgh though, I could do without the street corner pipers belting out Don’t Stop Believing and the like!

The oboe 🤌🏽💋

One of my more decent pieces has an oboe and a horn duet as the melody. The oboe is such a unique and beautiful sounding instrument that pairs well with many more softer instruments

Allegedly George Bernard Shaw said this about the oboe: “An ill wind that nobody blows good.”

Cello. No idea why. Yo-Yo Ma slays me.

Accordion… I love the sound of it, especially the Italian ones with chambers.

Accordion is an unusual choice, but in Karla Bonoff’s “Water is Wide” the accordion is essential and beautiful. James Taylor sings back up.
