Though I try to love all things musical, I'd have to say that bagpipes are really annoying. I swear the only song that a bagpipe player learns is Amazing Grace.
And though it doesn't count as a musical instrument, I'd have to say Paris Hilton's voice. Her song that comes on over the radio makes me want to smash things with a blunt object.

I'll sum up a very long "well maybe, i kind of like this, i kind of don't" explanation of insturments with one word. What is my least favorite insturment, then? One word: [shadow=red,left,300]VIOLINS[/shadow]

I am acctually fond of the clarinet when its played right. But that means Jazz, or Mozart. Otherwise i dont care for it that much.
Piccolo. I am the piccolo slayer, just check my email.
and im really sorry cause i have a lot of firends who play it, but i cant stand saxaphone. at times i can stand tenor, but in general a saxaphone reminds me of styrophome, which i also hate.
There are of course exception, i have heard really good sax players make there horn sing nicely.
Im not a fan of trumpet either. Its just kind of boring to hear. The only pice i like that they play i only like becuse of the skill. (flight of the bumblebee)

I dislike certain instrumetns in certain pieces...sometimes that is due to the player themselves.

After some further thought, I have no love in me for the snare drum. To me, the snare drum by itself isn't music. It has to be coupled with an ensamble to gain music status with me. Otherwise it's just loud beating.

I have to say the accordian, the bagpipes, and an out of tune piccolo.

I am really, really sorry, but I am strongly against Alto Sax. It's just horrible in my band. I have only met one good alto player in my entire amazingly large list of band people I know. It's just...so...*SQUEAL*, that's the only way I can describe it. Keep the integrity of the woodwinds and don't turn them into brass!!!
However, a badly played or out of tune ANYTHING is painful. Especially violins or piccolos.
In defense of the oboe, it's kind of an acquired taste. Yeah, it is impossible to tune to oboes, and yeah, reeds generally hate oboists. I hope you find a really good oboeist that might be able to change your mind! Sorry, I guess I'm kind of defensive about my baby--umm--instrument.

I wish all bagpipes would spontaneously combust. Unfortunately, we have three bagpipers and they have to play at pregame during "Scotland the Brave." I mean hey, we're the Highlanders. I'm shocked we don't wear kilts (we used to in the 70s). Kill me now. And I apologize in advance. I think dumb major and I have the same taste. I despise all string instruments, and I say that proudly. I still think they sound like crap even when played by a professional. I also don't like clarinets when they are played by most amateurs... the sound is too squeaky (yet I can stand my own oboe playing XD). But really, it depends on who is playing. A clarinet can be such a beautiful instrument, just that I usually think it's not.

So I really thought there was a thread like this, but whatever ...
... I really dislike the flute/piccolo. Mainly because the people in my band (and many others that I have witnessed) cannot, or choose not, to tune their piccolos. I can't stand to listen to something that is so insanely out of tune.

ooo gosh....this thread is like a thousand knives stabbed into my heart. Why must people use the word hate like that....
If played correctly I love all instruments, I love how they each have a unique sounds, they are like their own species or race. But since thats not what the thread is about, I would have to say my "least favorite" instrument is snare drum, but thats mostly because the people I've had to spend grade school in just totally butchered it....

I Hate The ... french horn... I HATE IT!!!! Sounds great when played correctly, but it is EVIL. I am convinced that french horns are the tools of the devil. I swear...hell is filled with deamons weilding horns. Twisted masses of metal that are forever jamming up and collecting spit like there's no tomorrow. 5 different fingerings for every note, playign in 2 different instrument keys...GAH!!! I hate it, hate it, HATE IT!!

I hate it, hate it, HATE IT!! ok, i understand that you may hate it. most people do, since most people butcher it when playing it. but hating it just because of the 5 fingerings? that makes it so much more interesting to play, giving your more options. ok, i admit, the spit is annoying, but as long as you dump it every break, its fine. hmmmmm.. my least fav. instrument? an out of tune saxophone. or an out of tune piccolo. for some reason, woodwinds just don't understand tuning. maybe if they did, i would enjoy them. maybe.
