What's an off-the-beaten-path instrument you'd like to learn?
I think it'd be cool to pick up the mandolin or banjo. That folky appalachian sound really appeals to me.

i think sitar would be badass to learn
Christopher Reyes
I'll add the oud, though really any lute-type thing has my interest.
ouds are always pimpin too
Joseph Reyes
Ocarina
Or some sort of wooden flute
It'd be cool to make it from scratch
Evan Moore
I knew a guy who made his own ocarina, it's pretty easy with clay. Hard part is getting proper notes out of it, but making a vessel that emits nice noise isn't too difficult.
Thomas Phillips
Banjo, but for prog/math rock.
Julian Ortiz
Play some George Harrison Hare Krishna shit
Bentley Edwards
This, also obv Banjo would be cool. Would also love to learn more unconventional instruments like tape loops and home-made electroacoustic/industrial diy type shit.
Chase Reed
Always wanted to learn the lute, will never figure out how to get one.
Isaiah Brooks
Kalimba. Not on a youtube acoustic-cover level but to make serious compositions with it.
Aiden Martin
been playing mandolin for about 6 months
good choice
Jaxon Ramirez
harmonium
recorder

Is it off the beaten path if a huge percentage of people were forced to learn it in grade school?
Cameron Murphy
it's rather far of adulthood's beaten path
Asher Butler
Chapman stick hands down
Dylan Smith
We're all getting Corona cash, this is a perfect time to buy an instrument. A sitar would be excellent. A violin would be cool too.
Levi James
I change answer to THIS, chapman stick is one of the most based instruments around
Jonathan James
Go to a renaissance festival, mine always has a lute dealer. They're priced like any other instrument if the luthier is legit so be prepared to drop a couple hundred.
Justin Evans

I bought a $10 plastic fife a couple years ago, never actually got around to learning to play it.
Though if you like to whistle fife tunes are the best.
Jayden Torres
I know a guy who can play pretty good, such a nice sound

Bump. Ouds and most other middle eastern instruments are absolute kino.

Balalaika
I got one for like a 100 bucks but I didn't realize I can't do the index finger tremolo because my classical guitar nails

recorder, specifically for jazz
John Allen
How does one play the tape loop? I have a load of old jazz tapes my grandad recorded lying in my room and I don’t know what to do with them
Michael Gomez
I love double reed instruments so an english horn or shenhai would be pretty cool.
Baroque bluegrass jazz ragas, when?
Nathan Rodriguez
I'd say sax. It's quite uncommon as far as instruments go. If not sax, some other wind instrument. Maybe an oboe?

Soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxes are mainstream. If you want uncommon, you need to go for sopranino or bass.
Jeremiah Scott
Go for the krumhorn or shawm.
Samuel Brooks
As much as I like the shawm, its timbre is dime a dozen. Now the krumhorn, that's magic. I amend my post to krumhorn, thanks for the reminder, user.

I'd like to play the cornetto, beautiful sound. often described as being closest to the human voice. Uillean pipes would be amazing, but really hard.
I should probably play my lute more often.

Just look online. they can be expensive if properly made but there is some entry level shit available. look at thomann or inquire at lutesociety.

holy shit the sounds that fucking instrument creates are spine chilling in both all the wrong and all the right ways at the same time.

i am convinced ukulele has to be an absolute treasure trove of unexplored based music as soon as you shed all the cliches of corporate ukulele pop yt videos, i just can't find it in myself to fuck around with the goddamn jangly oh-so-quirky piece of shit long enough to find them
also rec good ukulele music plz
Isaiah White
The Russian balalaika is pretty top-tier.
When you play it it basically sounds like a fast-paced oscillation. I mimicked it in one of my piano compositions recently.

What is this sorcery? How did he do it? Why wasn't it extensively used, because it sounds magical. Is this what Edd played in Ed Edd n Eddy without the voice thing?
