And why? Not an instrument you already play. Pick something else.
I’ll start.
Saxophone, so I can climb the rooftops and play my neighbours some cheesy sax porn solos of the eighties.
Cello, because cellos sound freakin awesome.
I want to play the accordian. I just don’t want to pay for an accordian.
My daughter got a mini accordion for cheap online. It was at least good enough to see if you enjoy it enough for a real one.
I’ve always wanted to learn the violin since it goes well with the piano but there’s no way to practice quiet.
There’s a kind of electric violin that actually is rather quiet, and in addition to the strings being quieter (there’s no resonance chamber) you can plug headphones in (yeah, plug) and have it sound loud to you. Electric or “silent violin” should probably lead you in the right direction!
Oh sweet, alright I have something to look forward to. Thanks!
Bagpipes, they are the most beautiful sound to me and the most horrific to everyone else! Also a hurdy gurdy, because it is a interesting sound and I could probably make one and will hopefully do so when I have the time
Alright! My thoughts exactly!
the keytar
I learn the sax, you pick up the keytar. Then we take over the stages of every major festival with dual soloing to smoke machines and neon lights until the groupies carry us off stage. Deal?

Have always wanted to be able to play the cello, whose sound simply resonates with me.
Cello. I really think there is no greater instrument (maybe the church organ). It has such a range, from quick and frantic to dark and brooding. Forreference, check out anything composed by Gabriel Saban.
Drums. It seems they’re really hard to learn, thought.
Bagpipes
which kind?
I didn’t know there was more than one kind! Now I have to go and read up about them.
I have a deep love for Halloween season. I always wanted to get a waterphone. They are just a little to expensive for something that would 100% be a novelty.
Thank you for reminding me that this exists. FYI, it is out of patent and Mr. Waters is now deceased so, one could ethically and legally make a copy. (Patent no. US-3896696-A)
I’m intending to make one for myself at some point, as I THINK I have all the necessary tools at the Makerspace.
EDIT: Just investigated a bit. I absolutely do have access to the tools!!! Now, just to get in to practice TIG welding so that I’m not terribad at it.
My father in law in an AMAZING machinist. I should mention to him to see what he could do with it.
I’d love to learn the sax, my trumpet skills are not as romantic as teenage me had hoped
Piano. I actually can play it a bit but I’d need 10000 more hours and space and time and motivation to do that. I wish I could just sit down and play, without disturbing the neighbors or limiting my living space or cutting down on my other hobbies. But piano is really nice. I guess I’ll stick to listening to it.
You could get a keyboard and use headphones if the noise is the most significant blocker. That can help with the space, too, since you could fold up the stand and put it away when not in use, unlike a piano which is furniture as much as a musical instrument. Unfortunately, there’s no helping with the time part unless you’re lucky enough to be born with talent, though even then it just means less time rather than little time.
An upright bass, because they are such a vibe.
