In Reply to: The most complicated instrument to use or learn?..... posted by wangmr on August 11, 2014 at 07:09:55:
Many instruments that aren't that complicated are fiendishly difficult to play.
I think that the most complicated instruments to play are large pipe organs and large drum sets. This is partly because both require the use of all four limbs, and partly because they're all different. The basic outlines of a violin, French horn, piano, etc., are immutable and pretty straightforward: if it doesn't have four strings, it's not a violin. A pipe organ can have lots of manuals (the one at the Naval Academy has five) and an almost limitless number of stops (the Encyclopedia of Organ Stops lists over 2,000). Meanwhile, a drumset can have as many components as the stage will hold and the roadies can carry. See the link for an example.
Happy listening,
Jim
