OK here's the question: which musical instrument goes with which sign of the zodiac? Feel free to make your own list! and trumpet- loud, always in the front of everything, gets what it wants... goes with cello- angry and ominous in the lower range, but warm and beautiful too... and piano- because the piano can be anything it wants to be.... goes with oboe- nostalgic, crabby and whiny at times, but very beautiful when it's in the mood... and French horn- golden and heroic... goes with clarinet- a perfectionist, disciplined sound, also very lovely.... hmm hard one, maybe flute?

Here's part two: - also a hard one. Electric guitar? and violin- violins are always in the center of things, they're very 'social', always having fun... goes with basson- in the background but a hard worker; gets the job done. and harp- because the harp is easily distracted? and viola- violas are not oftn in the limelight, but still beautiful and emotional. They have a rather anguished sound. So what do you think? ------------------ Hello everybody!

Naw re: Scorp - They'd be deep, powerful drums beat to a primal rhythm, alternating between hard and fast and searching and poetic. Re: Pisces - I like that; but maybe a zither (sp?), too (kinda otherworldly & amorphous, ya know?).IP: Logged |

Cool, I met a Leo on the plane (who DEFINITELY has to heve some Aqua or Gem in his chart) who's a trombonist....those Leos, such performers. He also said he loves conducting. Haha, figures.IP: Logged |

I have an ear for music but I am instrumentally challenged.Actually, I wanted to play the violin when I was young, but they told me the strings were made of catgut. That really enraged me (I was all of 10 years) so I refused to have any part of it. LOL I love listening to the cello. It is haunting, romantic and passionate. I kind of think that would be more Sag than a violin, not to mention most of us are taller than average with longer fingers, a Tuarus would have problems managing that instrument, I would think. Maybe I am wrong.

Well, Aquarius definately gets the synthesizers, but I still think Scorpio should be electric guitar. Social, sexy, always wowing people.... but it could also be trombone- you know, dark,velvety, ominous. Now that Aquarius is synths, I think Libra should take over the harp. And Sag can have the flute too if it wants. But if Sag got the cello, what would Taurus be?

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one; for the most part, I don't see Scorps as being as center stage as that (that's more leo). In my eyes, they're more primal and all around groovy. But, again, that's just me IP: Logged |

I think Aquarians also get the "theremin"... that weird instrument we usually hear on soundtracks to SciFi B-movies. Check it out: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/playground/theremin1.shtml Taurus might play the marimba... such a sensual sound... or a bass clarinet, or baritone sax. This Aries has played the accordion (!), French horn, and electric bass... and almost took up the bagpipes!!! But I'm with the Wych, a mic is excellent too! Lunargirl IP: Logged |

Oxy: You know while I was reading this thread I was thinking "Who gets the sax?!" I love the sound of a sax.I agree with the Libra and the harp. I think a Libra needs anything soft and mellow. IP: Logged |

Oxychick, LOL, I know that Yo Yo is a cello dude. LOL... I was wondering what sign he was. My question came out wrong, I should have said "What sign is Yo Yo". QoS, Okay, I think that us Sag's should have the Cello and Taurus can have.......the voice...as an instrument. Taurus rules the throat and most Taurus people have beautiful voices..so that would make sense to me...in my saggie world. I agree that the Synth is soooooo aquarius. IP: Logged |

OK, here's what the signs say when they hear a live viola performance (viola is my instrument, so excuse me if I *harp* on it):Aries: "This is a horrible sound! Augh! It makes my precious, sensitive ears hurt! Make it stop!" Taurus: "This is a very relaxing piece. I'll have to buy a recording of it." Gemini: "This piece is too slow. How dull..." Cancer: "I wonder if this piece would be a good lullaby for the children..." Leo: "What a wonderful sound! This is an amazing piece! I love this instrument! I'm going to learn how to play viola!" Virgo: *sighs deeply* "This is horribly out of tune. Ouch. But at least she has passion...and it's still a nice song." Libra: "Well, she made all kinds of awful mistakes, but it's such a beautiful song; on the whole, it was a very well balanced performance." Scorpio: *is staring intently at the performer- says nothing* Sagittarius: *is having a conversation with the person next to him- doesn't even notice the music* Capricorn: "This is a nice song." *leans back in his chair and continues to watch* Aquarius: "Oh my god, I am totally spazzing out over this! This is just too kewl! I'm gonna write a viola concerto when I get home, and it'll have 100 horns and 20 cuzoos, 40 clarinets and 300 saxophones! Oh, this is gonna be the bestest viola concerto EVER!" *giggles manically and falls out of her chair* Pisces: *in tears* This... poor.. composer... This piece is giving me all kinds of insights into his life... oh, how I pity him... Oh, this poor performer... her anguish.. her suffering... the shattered love... her broken heart... who did this to her!?! It's too much!" *sob* Did I go overboard? ------------------ Hello everybody!

QoS, What was that? I was too busy jabber-jawing with the dude next to me. LOL.. that was sooooo true!! Actually though, I really am into music and can be moved to tears by something powerful and moving. I can't tolerate anything high pitched, like Mariah Carry or Whitney (To me they sound like cats in heat)I also feel the same about electric guitars when the musician goes bullestic on those poor strings. :O Maybe that is my Aries moon.

Looks at the player! Not saying a word. Yep! Checking out every motion that is made.So, if he's good.. I'm quiet and observant. If he stinks than I'm looking at the wall, floor, etc. IP: Logged |
