So i dont really have experience with music, ive tried piano and the recorder in the 5th grade but i could never really figure it out. I want to try again but i realized i dont like mouth perices due to fluid build up and having to clean it everyday. I know there is the triangle but i feel like its limited, but i may be wrong.
My goal is to someday do a cover song using a instrument? What would you advise or suggest and why so? It would help if i could start for cheap.
Piano. Yes it’s a difficult instrument to master, but I can teach a 4 year old to play Mary Had a Little Lamb
Unlike a lot of other instruments listed here, you can’t hit the right piano key and get the wrong note because you didn’t hold your fingers right, or held the bow at the wrong angle, or hit the wrong part of the drum head, or blew too hard, or pursed your lips wrong. If you hit the right button, the right note plays.
Yes and no… with a real (not digital) piano it actually does matter how you hit the keys. If you don’t press quickly enough the hammer won’t have enough momentum to actually strike the strings.
I believe this effect is more pronounced with a grand piano, but the same thing can happen with an upright piano too.
EDIT: It’s not as finicky as with other instruments, though, so your core point is still a good one… just with caveats.
