u know how u said the string instruments are easy?
Have u ever even tried playing the piano? have u ever seen anyone who was good at the piano play? Let me answer that question;obviously not, or else you would have ranked it at number one in hardest to play. the day you start playing the piano you see that it just gets harder as it goes on, not easier. you have two hands simaltaneously flying across the keyboard, playing about twenty notes every two seconds. also there are 82(i think) different keys. you ranked the oboe the hardest. how many valves does that have?8? ha! childs play. try rimsy korkasov`s flight of the bumblebee, piano style. you`ll find its not so easy to synchronize your hands.
good luck
Sincerely, steve

sry oboe players. that instrument`s probably pretty hard too. but the truth is, i think the piano is harder

woah, what does that have to do with string instruments? And face it, every instruments is harder or easier depending on the players abliities, his teacher/method, and a million other varibles. There is no "hardest" instrument or "easiest" instrument. cheers!

good point. that was kind of a spur of the moment thing. it was kind of fun

makes for an interesting read though, dont u think?
