Athena FowlerBooBoo Records employee“The Theremin, because you play it based on your body mass and how close you are to the instrument.” 
Ryan AlbrechtVandenberg Air Force Base employee“The bagpipes would probably be really hard. Where would you take lessons? Have you ever seen anything in the newspaper about bagpipe lessons?” 
Phil ClancyBest Buy employee“A wind instrument like a trumpet, because you need a lot of breath-strength. Not everybody has it, so it would probably be a struggle for most people.” 
Simon PhillipsApple Farm employee“The sitar, because I don’t even understand the Western musical scales, and it’s even more complex. It’s the instrument The Beatles made popular.” |
