>synth in shit tier
>piano in top tier
Are you living in the Dark Ages? Go back to your fucking dungeon. All piano pieces sound the same sonically, unlike the synth.

>>44503732
smooth jazz and shitty 80s pop gave the sax a bad image

>>44503822
hey guys
hey
Schubert and Debussy sound the same

>>44503835
The actual sound of the instrument is horribly forced and tacky as hell though.

you have really awful taste.

>>44502271
Piano is more often shit tier than any of the other instruments there.

>>44503948
I agree

>>44503948
found another trip to filter

>>44502271
Fuck off

Guitar, synth, piano are top tier
Bass, drums, saxophone, violin are high tier

I'm not qualified enough to comment on any other instruments, all I can say is recorder is surely low tier and triangle is 'good try' tier.

It's not about how respected and classical (or 'patrician') the instrument is you autist, although I know /mu/tards like yourself like to be faggots about this sort of thing. It's about how valuable it is to the creation of music. Where the fuck would we be without the invention of the synth? How can it possibly be considered low tier?

>>44504061
He's right, though.

>>44504062
>recorder is surely low tier
Recorder is generally shit because people can't play it, and it doesn't really work on its own, but when someone uses the recorder like a pro it's god tier.

>>44504061
No bulling please

>>44504100
apart from the fact that almost the entire history of music is based on the piano

>>44503121
>harp
>nice accompaniment

>>44504159
That doesn't change the fact that it's more often used shittily than the other instruments OP listed.

>>44504229
If you're talking about which instrument attracts the most shitty players I'd say the guitar has that award hands down.

>>44502271
>drums low tier

enjoy not playing the most fun instrument, faggot.

>>44504104
What sort of music does it work well with other than classical sheet music played by amateur pre-teens anyway? i can't really imagine but I'm interested now if you have any good examples. I can imagine post-rock with recorders potentially being good...

>What sort of music does it work well
Generally prog stuff, Peter Gabriel played a bunch of flutes, at times recorder. If I'm not mistaken there's a nice little recorder tune at the beginning of The Battle of Epping Forest.
There's also the swedish progg(not prog, it's confusing) scene, which every now and then has recorders.

It's rare, though. Which is understandable. Most of the time it's just used as a comedic instrument because it usually IS hilariously bad.
