My favorite sound is the sound of an accordion being thrown in a dumpster landing on a banjo and bag pipes.

The poor accordion gets a bad rap! Accordion players in the Cajun/Zydeco and Northern Mexican traditions, for example, get to really rock out!

Isn't that Gary Larson's idea of hell?

Mine too if you include banjos and bagpipes. 🙂

@Sticks48 Yep, bagpipes would fit right in there, although I've heard some banjo players who are actually very good, like Jerron "Blind Boy" Paxton, or of course, Steve Martin.

@Organist1 I don't like the tonal quality of these instruments. There are exceptions for me. The banjo in Ray Stevens version of "Misty" and the way the French use concertinas or accordions. I have no exceptions for bagpipes.
