I play violin ;not well, but played for 12 years as a kid, starting in suzuki). Now my daughter is learning violin and piano. She practices and likes violin more. I think piano looks so difficult! I think playing passably on violin isnt hard.

Harp!

Fun fact: oboe is Anglicized French for “haut bois,” or high wood

Hardest: Piano, it’s especially brutal if you are playing it in a marching band.

Easiest: Tie between triangle & Kazoo.

Best groupies: Electric guitar

Weirdest groupies: Cowbell

Most often misspelled: Glockenspiel

Best to have in a prisoner-of-war camp: Accordion

Appropriate, as French are known for their high wood.

I think trumpet is the easiest and violin is the hardest. I also think French horn and oboe are very hard.

I played violin and I think it's in the middle, I tried piano and quit after a few months. It was hard bc you are using two hands, 2 musical "staff" lines and all that.

French horn is hardest for brass.

Violin for strings

And oboe for wind

Those are the exact instruments that my two siblings and I played. I feel bad for my parents having to listen to us as we learned!
