I used to have a violin. I was never much cop at playing the fkn thing but I ADORED it. It was Italian and I used to play it at school concerts and I was also in a youth orchestra. I'm about as musical as a sucking pig but I LOVED playing in an orchestra (the rest of the musicians drowned out my tuneless scrapings!) In the end, acknowledging that I wasn't ever going to be any good at it, I gave it to my nephew.
As for the instruments I most like to LISTEN to, I'd probably go for the electric guitar, the faster and more histrionic it's played the better. Plus the human voice is a fairly amazing instrument isn't it?
