Music...
If you could choose to be any instrument in the world...which would you decide and why? biggrin.gif

I'd like to be a flute! It's sweet and dainty (unlike me... tongue.gif )
fsharpminor
Hmmmmmmm , definitely a blowing instrument of some sort. Gentle kiss from the flautists maybe ? wub.gif or...

Unfortunately some of them are male !

Well definitely not percussion because I wouldn't want to be bashed about.

And not strings because I wouldn't want to be strung along.

Not brass because I'm certainly not a brassy kinda woman tongue.gif

So I guess a wind instrument of some sort, but I'd want to be very fussy as to who played me and he definitely wouldn't have to have bad breath laugh.gif

You could be plucked ???????????????????

Oooo I feel all ticklish at the thought biggrin.gif

Put like that, yes it could be quite good fun being a guitar laugh.gif

I'd rather not be plucked, blown/spat on, or bashed about, thanks!

I'll be a Theremin!

I'd like to be an oboe d'amore. It would be wonderful to be able to sing like that!

I'd like to belong to a really good player, though, so no-one would mistake me for a duck decoy. tongue.gif

Being a bell, perhaps you'd be irritating as I guess you'd always want to chime in with some comment or other wink.gif

A bassoon rolleyes.gif
My piano teacher once asked me what I would call a group of bassoons (i.e. the collective noun, like a flock of sheep or a pack of wolves). I immediately said 'a racket(t)'. tongue.gif

As for being an instrument for the day... probably a trumpet or sax, so I could play in jazz bands all the time. And be very loud and noticable, like laura-clarinet said. smile.gif I'm normally very quiet so I love playing any of my instruments fortissimo (only when it's marked, of course!).

I would be a piano.
