Default Your favorite musical instrument.

If you “had” to listen to “only one” musical instrument and for an extensive period of time, what would it be?

Acoustic guitar for me. A well played violin would be a close second but still, if I had to listen to only one being played solo, it would be an acoustic guitar. I never get tired of an acoustic guitar.

No guitars for me, I did a Rodrigo and Gabriella gig once and after 40 mins I was screaming at it to end. I played the tenor horn when younger, have a rusty trumpet, so it's wall to wall Miles if needed.

This is a very difficult question. At this moment it would be piano, human voice, cello.

Hmmm... would be a punishment!

I hesitate between viola da gamba (I need my dose of viola da gamba solo at least every 2 weeks, and then I mostly listen to several albums in a row) and piano (I can listen to complete CD box sets like the Tchaikovsky set from Lisitska right now).
The violin comes in third place, human voice as a close 4th.

Acoustic steel-string guitar, but piano would be a close second.
