Hmm. While sitting in band practice when I was in school between 5th and 8th grade, I probably would have said the saxophone. There's nothing worse than the honk of a sax from someone who's first learning to play it. Now though, I really am not sure. I think that, played well, all instruments can sound good. *HUGS*
Hmmm, I'd have to say that an electric guitar at full blast right next to one's ears is just plain awful! And it was especially awful when you were at The Carroll Center for the blind, and this very tempermental girl with her electric guitar, well, lets just say that this full blast instrument could be heard from outside of the dorm area, and even outside on the steps was pretty dang awful lol!
I'm going to have to agree that really, any instrument played badly will sound bad, and played well will sound good, even the bagpipes or accordion. Sometimes they can make for an interesting contrast if cast into a genre you usually don't hear them in, like bagpipes on an AC/DC song, and they did use them once on a song. Now, although I really love electronic music, I loathe techno and most of its ugly stepbrothers and sisters, because for one thing, they depend on this one particular electronic kick-drum sound that I think came from a Rolland 808 drum machine. It produces a tone of about 50 hertz, or a low A or A-Flat on a keyboard. The incessant thump-thump-thump of that sound is just annoying and mechanical, like a piledriver. Ugh!
