In Reply to: The most complicated instrument to use or learn?..... posted by wangmr on August 11, 2014 at 07:09:55:
A four-manual pipe organ plus pedals and a huge variety of stops and mixtures and coouplers and expression aids is a candidate for the most complicated of instruments.
Indeed, before the advent of automated telephone switching exchanges, large electromechanically controlled pneumatic pipe organs were the most complicated machines ever built.
That said, you press down an organ key, and unless the organ needs repair or tuning, you always get the right note!
AFAIK, the hardest instruments to get a reliably good sound out of in terms of just the tone of the note and no odd noises, are in the double-reed family: Oboe, Cor Anglais, and Bassoon, and the larger variants of the Bassoon.
