Popular musical instruments in your nation!

Postby Strykla » Sat May 28, 2011 9:40 am

Well, what are they?

In Strykla, bagpipes are often used in conjunction with snare drums and are both very popular, especially for marches.
Most brass and string instruments are also very popular.

All Instruments are Welcome and widely used in Wagondia, though the most famous are probably the Panpipes, which originated in Western Wagondia, and the Rainstick, also from Wagondia.

Trumpets, drums, guitars, and tubas are all immensely popular in Saurisia.

School programmes allow students to select from a variety of instruments to play, ranging from keyboard to brass to strings.

Outwith education, guitar is popular due to its prominence in popular music, though it would depend on what music circles you subscribe to; you probably won't find a mandolin player in a trance group, for example.
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

Peace-tuba. That is why Sweden has not been to war since 1814. :p
You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode.

So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today.

Since 1964 the most important instruments in the CISR have been the seven string guitar and viol(not to be confused with violin or viola, the viol has frets and is played in a posture more similar to guitar). Spanish style guitars, electric bass, synthesizers and sampler/sequencers are all commonly used in the CISR as well.

All of the classical instruments are popular in our nation, as well as all manner of percussive instruments both traditional and improvised. Additionally, the vuvuzela is a constant at any sportive event, as a sporting event is considered to be the appropriate accompaniment for a mass vuvuzela concert.
