Favorite instrument

Personally i feel that the Guzheng and hulusi are my faavorite instruments- the express so much with the music. Running guzhengs stings envokes a feeling of a rver, or a babbling brooke. A hulusi's full tone makes the body cringe with the air of a fishing village. look them up so you can hear them for yourself

Would be the Clarinet family. From a C Clarinet down to the BBb ContraBass.

A number of years ago, I heard Schuberts "Arpeggione" Suite done by a Clarinettist and a Pianist (their names excape me for the moment.)

P.S: From what I know an Arpeggione - was a guitar like instrument that was played with a bow. Since Schuberts piece was the only one written for it, I tend to believe it went the way of the Glass Harmonica.

There were a few others as well, but Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata is notable because it was the only one that entered the standard repertoire. But it only entered the standard repertoire in versions for cello and piano, or viola and piano...

Ahh... so there were other pieces written for Arpeggione. Hmm, I can imagine the Cello version of Schuberts piece must sound awesome.
