What are the all-time most annoying instruments or techniques?

I shrink from sprechstimme with a passion. Many people whine about bagpipes, but I actually like them- maybe because they have that whole Scottish Highlands prefer. I can't think of much worse than...

A: What is crooked with recorders? Clearly you have never heard a good recorder. (Totally recommend Vivaldis recorder/flautino concerti!)

Ok, I Unquestionably, REALLY, HATE THE HURDY...


Recorders. By far THE worst way. Kids get them when they are in elementary school and when they run around playing them, it can drive anyone nuts. I had one myself so I know from experience :)

Which country has more scottish style bagpipes?

Which mother country has more Highland bagpipes?

1.Scotland
2.Ireland
3. Australia
4. New Zealand

I vote for New Zealand

A: I recon New Zealand in actuality. People often forget that the South Island has a huge Scottish ancestry. I recon they are more crazy about highland bagpipes than Scotland is nowadays.
