    Default A musical genie

    pops outta the lamp and decides that YOU are going to be one of the best, if not the greatest, musicians of the history of humankind in one instrument and maybe some derivatives of it. He let's you chose the instrument, and after you have made your decision you can pour your soul into music and make magic.

    So, what instrument will you choose? Can be anything you come up with, 'slong as it's something we can recognise as a musical instrument. I'm going with the traditional <i>kantele</i> of my native mythology, a kind of a box with strings, played on a pentatonic scale.

    Or the organ. *_*

    Piano. You can do a lot if you know what you're doing.

    I'd go with Piano. Or church organ. Piano would be really cool, though. Or that Norwegian violin. I regret I never took any piano classes. It wouldn't be too hard to learn the basics though, I've heard?

    And this is <i>Kantele</i> Nait is talking about. Mythology came from Finnish National epic <i>Kalevala</i> ( which also inspired JRR Tolkien, btw), where Väinämoinen killed a giant pike ( fish we have in Finland) and made Kantele of it's jaw.

    Kind of like Orpheus, but cooler.

    It would have to be the <i>triangle</i> or drums.

    a synthesiser/mix table combination for the making of magic!

    good techno is awesome and is the equal of Celtic music in the generation of images and the provoking of thoughts. and you can dance to it!

    now if I only had some moves........

    Base Guitar for me. Not as important as the lead guitar of a band but still rather crucial.

    No, Nait, I'm not making fun of you. I would never do that. Yes, I was forced to play the recorder, but I've never played the triangle. It sounds simple though and I've always wanted to try the drums.
