Instruments you don't hear much these days

[Wiseman_Vaughn]

Was just listening to this...

Got me thinking - You don't hear much accordian hese days
or Sax. There used to be a lot of Saxaphone in the 80s

or am I being daft?

The good old Hurdy‑gurdy.

The triangle was a favourite of mine at school, though was paricularly useless even on that!

 

[BoroMart]

I'd like to hear a little more Ondes Martenot and Fender Rhodes in music these days

Enjoying the banjo after watching "Justified"

There will be plenty of sax music getting made it’s just not that often found in charts.

I listen to a lot of synthwave and some bands successfully combine sax with this sound which I quite enjoy

My missus plays alto sax, recently passed her grade 6. So far, I can play the opening chords of Night boat to Cairo by Madness

How can anyone be useless at triangle?!

Unless of course you were using the beating implement to make yourself a chicken and vegetable kebab on the BBQ instead of hitting the triangle with it?

See Baldrick in Black Adder goes forth!

I used to have to direct a lot of photoshoots in the 90s with a photographer in the North West, he always had this on and it finished my love affair with the sax

It's all about the Rhythm and I simply have none, unfortunately.

The good old Hurdy‑gurdy.

Cowbell - you cannot have too much cowbell.

 

[Osboro]

The Father of a friend had a Zither, he played by ear( not with it) and would do the odd rendition of the occasional chart song of the 70/ 80s Duran Duran, Japan , bits of Roxy Music etc
