Which Musical Insrument Do You Like?

Music is divine. Music is a part of life to some. Music is larger than life to some others. There is no normal human in the Universe who does not like music. Music is created either vocally or by instruments (not completely agreeable, since Nature is the greatest musician ! ).

Musical Instruments are majorly categorized as:
* String Instruments
* Percussion Instruments
* Wind Instruments

The well known string instruments are:
guitar
violin
sitar
veena
piano etc.

The well known percussion instruments are:
tabla
drums
mridangam etc

The well known wind instruments are:
flute(baansuri)
shehnai
saxophone etc

There are hundreds of instruments in each category, which we do not know. There are hundreds of cultures that we do not know. Each culture has instruments which signify the culture, the history, the traditions & customs of the geographic location in which a culture blossomed. Some instruments are the signatures of a culture but yet renowned world-over.

If we consider any culture, there will, at least, be one instrument from each class. Magic is created when these are properly mixed with a good voice of human (or nature). We get lost in Hindustani, Carnatic, Sufi or any form of music. But, imagine enjoying music without instruments (i.e., only vocals). It will not be enjoyment for a long time, rather, it will be punishment.

The class of instrument that attracts me more than any other is the string instruments. And the particular instrument is the guitar. Guitar is, perhaps, the most versatile instrument of all. Guitar is a classical instrument of the Western music, but yet, it has been embraced to be in our classical music also.
