Soprano Sax is my favourite type of Sax. I really like that smooth, slick sound tone it provides.

The Trombone, when played correctly, sounds motherflippin beautiful; Unfortunately, from my experience, it's quite hard to play and typically people butcher the instrument. A good a trombone I like, a bad one is probably one of my least favourite sounding instruments.

So you don't like A Passion Play? 


I don't remember the sax being in it. Maybe it was in part 2, I've heard more of part 1 for some reason. 
 
I love oboe though!

Not an instrument but I really don't like some of the modern keys sounds I hear, like on DT or Spock's Beard albums. Another thing is I generally don't like nasal sound for instruments, but I'm digressing.


The bashing mechanical drum sound is a key element for Godflesh, real drumming wouldn't be brutal enough.

Least favorite would probably be violins and violas. (Obviously it could be used well but still...) Cello and double basses are alright though.
 
Used to not be a fan of most brass instruments (esp trombones) but I've grown fonder of them over time. And I quite like the idea of a bass trombone.

you really need some Mark O'Connor :


I'm not keen on this folk music style, but an orchestra can definitely add new atmosphere to a song, as with this sample based composition by The Young Gods.

Listen to Seven Reizh, you will have a different conception of bagpipes :



That sounded OK, but it was an unusually high pitched bagpipes, and very sparingly used.

You must have a strong association of the instrument with the Gospel genre. I don't like brass band music but find the instruments OK used elsewhere.

I think most instruments have their place and sound good from time to time. I think, however, it is significantly hard to find a good usage of those heavy vibrato Hammond B2 tones used for Southern revivalist church worship services. You know, the kind they have when the preacher gets up and does his thing, and the organist plays a bluesy, gospel type thing.  That vibrato organ upsets me 99% of the time.

I have to agree, there's not really any instrument I dislike. However, creepy music box sound effects (Light of Day, Day of Darkness, anyone?) always make me a tad uncomfortable...


But they're supposed to make you feel like that, right?

One day at work I was performing the theme to Godfather on a slide whistle. I prefer just to whistle with what god gave me.
