As a kid, I was never wealthy enough to buy a guitar, or even drums. My parents were very religious, and didn't believe in dancing or music. I had to grow up with sticks, and the concrete in my back yard. Although I had trees that I could run to and beat on. It was such a great time, and one of the most favorable parts throughout my life. I once found a tambourine in the middle of the street, it had no bells on it. So I would go throughout the neighborhood chasing cats for their collars, so I would just take the bells off them. I always hid my makeshift tambourine in the dirt, and dug it back up to play it again. Until one day I decided to hide it within my mothers garden, and the next morning she beat me with it, and the sound of those bells turned to instant hate as they slammed into my buttocks.

It wasn't until I was 15 when I went to my cousins birthday party, and he had a pinata. I was surprised my mother brought me because she didn't want me around candy, she always told me it was the devil. My mother wasn't around at that point, so I asked if I could have a turn. Around an oddly 15 minutes later, I was given a bat, and all the hate from that tambourine came to me. I slammed that cold steel baseball bat at the pinata. I decapitated it with one swing. I was thrilled, and I saw everyone jumping on this bright little orange triangular shaped plastic with a small white fan on it. I took the bat, and hit one kid who had jumped on it. Instantly, I took this wonderful piece of God. But one boys parent took me by my hand and I had dropped this gift from heaven. I pulled him with me, and I as I fell, my mouth slammed into the dirt, and I had this instrument inside of my mouth. They proceeded to take what was mine from me. I swallowed it, and instantly, my voice would be animated. From that day, I still never had any surgeries to my stomach. My favorite musical instrument is the "Kazoo".
 
I don't really know how to play any instrument. And that's a cool story there lol.
But the instrument I like the most, even though I can't play it, is the piano.

I love the piano, I love hearing the soothing melody from it.

Many say that Beethoven is the greatest pianist of all time, but I disagree, my favorite would have to be Amadeus.
 
That was a very long and detailed story. I actually read it all. Always remember, that there is someone else out there who has it worse than you.

As for my favorite instrument, I would say violin. I really like the sound of violins, especially in the kinds of music you wouldn't normally hear it in.

EDIT:

This song has parts with a violin, and they are some of my favorite parts.

Indeed.

The violin you say? Ah, I believe the only time I heard a violin play, was at the end of Titanic.

I never played the violin but I did play the next closest thing, the viola.
 

Fantastic, never knew of such thing.

Were you part of a black tie band? I wish I was part of something.
 

You're part of runegear which is even better.
 

It was nothing big, just the 5th grade orchestra. I didn't play any instruments after that. I chose to do other electives in middle school and high school instead of band or orchestra.
 

I'm jealous of your talents, I was never in any electives nor did I even go to school. Mother kept me home, and home schooled me. About a few days ago, I had a passionate dream to me a choir singer just like in those far fetched intense movies.
 
Guitar, I've been playing for ~5 years and I absolutely love it. I also love the piano, but I find that playing guitar is way more fun, as you can get many more sounds out of it and mess around more. I've been in a band for a few years which has been great, since I learn more playing with a group than by myself and I've met a lot of cool people.

I recommend everyone to try some kind of instrument. You never know what it will do for you; I know it made me much happier.
 

It is astounding on what music can do for some people.

Whenever my Kazoo is played, I have the most sensual moments by myself. I start to drop on my knees and breathe very heavily.
