The skin flute. Kinda loose. Ok in a pinch. The younger the better.

Musical instruments don't kill people. People kill people. Blame the musician, not the weapon.

Electric organ, especially when played in the high volume - low volume way. I know it can have good sounds but almost all music played with it immediately becomes elevator music.

It has to be the accordion followed closely by the bagpipes.

The nose flute... How the heck can you play it with a head cold?

i like just about every instrument, given that it's played well. i guess i'm not too crazy about the accordion, my parents wanted me to learn it as a child and the thing was bigger than i was. my favorite, drums, piano, guitar, of any kind, etc. play it well, that's all i can say. steve foline

The Harpsichord. There is a reason why this instrument has practically disappeared.

Accordion, for that loud and annoying sound!

French horn. Who in the world would invent an instrument that sounded like it is being played badly when it is being played well? Ugh.
