Although I expected guitar to be the most popular instrument by far in the United States, and that the piano would be second, I was corrected this week as I researched this topic. Here is the listing:
Piano
Guitar
Violin
Bass Guitar
Flute
Clarinet
Cello
The Piano is by far the most popular instrument in the United States.
- Seven hundred and fifty thousand pianos made around the world each year.
- Twenty-one million Americans, that's close to 1 in 10, play the piano.
- More Americans play the piano than all the other instruments combined.
Wow! I was shocked to see violin in the #3 spot. When I'm out and about jamming, I don't happen upon another violinist unless we are playing Irish, early American or Bluegrass. And yes, of course, classical.
Additionally, it's surprising that cello even made it on the list at all.
If you are a musician, let us know the type of instrument you play and some of the more unusual instrumentalists you may have heard or played with.
Peace,
