we all know that different.musicians are preceived/dofferently by the general public, but which ones do you think gets the most respect?

and remember, im not talking about amomg musicians

I want to vote "orchestra", but it's not in the list.

And despite the note "obviously not guitar", nevertheless 28% (2 person) still voted guitar.

the instrument that you embodied the most to become the best at what you play.

lol i picked piano........looks like many share my views as well, it always facinated me till today hopefully 1 day i will get to learn it

It's not the instrument, but the person who earns that respect.

you guys really dont get the question

I get it right? But isn't "orchestra" better?

BTW: I picked piano too.

For me: Violin! So difficult to play well
For most people: Drums! Nampak macam terror during band shows, compared to other musicians. Even guitar solo berapa hebat pun cannot fight drummer.

How do one "respect" an instrument???

"Oh man... I really respect your Ibanez Jem, it has a badass ding dong."

endless debate ensues

OP probably meant "which musician"? That would make more sense.

Either way this kind of generalisation does not fare well to me.

I respect all music instruments....because each of them is unique...but my favorite is electric guitar, followed by piano.

But for the answer to the question, it's probably piano....

Why? Because grand piano has this vision of grandness i suppose...which is why it's called a grand piano...

You heard of a grand guitar b4? No? See!!!!

lol. judging musicians by whats intruments they play..

probably also bcoz the scene/event at where the pianists usually play conveys the image of grandness..

plus with their gentleman uniforms.

TS says not from the musicians' point of view. General public.

Look at it like this. You're bringing your BF to meet your parents. He's an ex-con who just got out. But you already lied and told them that he's a professional musician. So he's coming to dinner tonight, he turns to you and ask "should I say I'm a drummer, guitarist, pianist, or conductor?". Which one is going to impress them most?

thank you

You're welcome.

it's either piano, violin or guitar as usually most musicians can play song with just that one particular instrument..

the most underrated instrument that get least respect is ukulele!

from general public pov, maybe the rock/trash/metal genre that give the guitar some rebellious image, unless u r playing blues/jazz..

Too small....size does matter.
