On topic-probably the harmonica :P

The Kazoo!

No way! Wind instruments are the underrated ones. Especially double reeds. (oboe, english horn, bassoon)

Didgeridoo, if you ask me.

I'd say either most wind instruments or the viola.t3hrubikscube

Yeah violists are pretty grumpy folk unless they also play the violin regularly. I can't tell you how many times I've been accosted by a violist for not having a larger section dedicated to viola music as if it's something under my control.

But I would think probably the harmonica is sorely underrated considering its potential due to its very large dynamic range.

Hmmmmm...that image puts me in the mood for a particularly rare instrument.

The Harmonica.

Electric triangle. I shred like a beast on that thing.

the accordion. It can actually sound pretty apathetic. But people think it's a nerdy instrument.

Hurdy Gurdy is actually lol

Beat boxing. We need more of it in pop music (by talented people though).

Beat boxing.

That's not an instrument. That's a mouth.

the Zar is the most badass instrument ever

Oooooooh yeah that's a good one. There's some really great South American stuff but I'm particularly fond of some of the Finnish artists like Puhti andMaria Kalaniemi.

Not nerdy at all.

The bassoon, nyckelharpa, and hardingfele.

The Dulcimer ... hate that I sold mine, but needed money at the time.

RobboElRobbo

Not nerdy at all.

And the badass dude clapping to the beat from 0:16-0:20 just proves that fact to.

Never under-estimate it.

So many weird people go to concerts like Turisas and Moonsorrow >.>

Hammered dulcimer

Glockenspiel

Mandola

I want to learn these intruments aswell as the banjo. The banjo seems like a lot of fun and I need something to match my overalls.

Thanks! Here's your image (hopefully it works)

DarthJohnova

The octavina!

Hurdy Gurdy is actually lol

RobboElRobbo

How did I know you would say that?

The triangle. :P

But seriously, I would perhaps say the oboe.

Theremin, and Continuum look them up.

You do know that there is sheet music for this instrument?

You do know that there is sheet music for this instrument?

Of course sheet music exists for it. But it is primarily a percussive instrument and varying the pitch accurately is very tricky as far as I know. It really is underrated though, a triangle toll in the right place can sound excellent.

heads of dead stormtroopers...
