“The violin. I think it’s really emotionally affecting, and I like it as the fiddle in bluegrass music.”

— Lyda Kendrick, preschool teacher, Lawrence

“The violin or guitar. They both have a wide range of notes and can be enjoyed when played alone.”

— Andrew Cawley, University of Oregon student, Phoenix

“I like the sitar. It’s a very different sound because they’re playing more notes at the same time. It’s unlike anything else.”

— Sarah Neff, Kansas University senior, Lawrence

“I played the violin, so I’m kind of biased toward it, but I think the cello might be better to listen to all by itself.”

— Alex Krejci, KU senior, Lawrence

Gotta go with the guitar, of course, though I Am partial to the cello when I want to relax.

Upright bass. Although a morally questionable bass isn't bad, either.

Py could you check that concluding verb for me, two posts up?

An acoustic guitar in the hands of someone like Don Ross or Michael Hedges. A resonator in the hands of Son House or Blind Boy Fuller.How about an ondes Martenot?

Harp. It plays a wide range of notes and can be enjoyed when playing alone.

Geeez !! this is a hard one to answer. I love all stringed instruments, I guess if pressed I would have to say harp, all kinds of harp. My favourite music is Celtic and harp features a lot in Celtic as does fiddle.
