Accordion. Makes cheap low class circus music. Can't stand it!

I don't hate any instrument, but the soprano sax generally bores me to tears.

The Chinese Erhu. I don't know if my dislike arises really from the instrument or the music. It's an acquired taste that I haven't acquired.

I don't know, I always wanted to hear "The Flight of the Bumblebee" performed on bagpipes.

Soprano Saxophone.

Bagpipes. Its the only "instrument" I've seen people practice in the middle of a field or by a freeway.

Oboe

Jew's Harp because it makes me weep for all the wrong reasons.

Gutiar..esp. the loud elec bass type --such as that of the stereophile ed....sign

Bagpipe.

Kenny G's saxophone. (I vote for this one too - ed.)

Bagpipes. I understand that the person who invented this vile sounding instrument is doing some serious time in hell.

Synthesizer: No matter how good the sampling is nothing beats the real thing.

Flute music is like fingernails screaching across a chalkboard. I cannot move too quickly to turn off a flute solo.

The voice of anyone singing traditional Buegrass.

The accordion.

The saxophone. I once heard a story that Debussy was commissioned by a wealthy american lady who played the saxophone to compose a rhaposody for it and orchestra. The task drove him to the point of nervous breakdown. The piece was never written.

I am not too keen on the tamborine.

Actually it is a scene from a Luis Bunuel movie, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgosie, "I hate cellos" "Really, I hear most orchestras are trying to drop them!"

banjo

The brass instruments annoy me! The saxophone also blows big time!!! I don't see the appeal. All bow down and worship the string instruments!!!

..and it is the clarinet. Maybe it has something to do with my ears' frequency response....

Yamaha DX7 Synth.

I cannot listen to the harpsichord for more than 30 seconds.

soprano saxaphone the sound cuts right through me.I'm not too keen on the alto either.

No, not really. As long as their played with passion.

The endlessly processed, pitch-corrected voice of britney spears.

Bagpipes.

Cheap cymbals and badly tuned drums

Any synthesiser that mimics the real thing.
