Top 10 Instruments for Sad Music

Unlike drums or electric guitar these instruments mostly make sad music .
The Top Ten
1 Violin The violin is a wooden string instrument in the violin family. It is the smallest and highest-pitched instrument in the family in regular use.

Such a melancholic sound that it makes, and any genre of music can be played with Violin, honestly. But the best is definitely sad music. This instrument echos the sound perfectly, and you could just close your eyes, and escape all your worries. Really, I’ve played this instrument, and I still do, it’s an instrument that you’d never want to put down once you start playing it.

2 Piano The piano is a musical instrument played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands.

Most of the emotional movies use piano to make audience sad.

Empire Of The Clouds, anyone?

3 Acoustic Guitar An acoustic guitar is a guitar that produces sound acoustically - by transmitting the vibration of the strings to the air - as opposed to relying on electronic amplification.

I agree with this but I think electric guitar can also produce very sad sounds. I was so tempted to add Electric Guitar to the list but I didn't.

Oh, yes. The acoustic guitar is so touching to hear and toys with my emotions.

4 Cello The cello or violoncello is a bowed or plucked string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths.

Pay attention to the beginning of this song and how the cello adds a lot to its sadness: Demons & Wizards - Love's Tragedy Asunder.

5 Viola
6 Tenor Saxophone The tenor saxophone is a medium-sized member of the saxophone family, a group of instruments invented by Adolphe Sax in the 1840s.
7 Flute The flute is a family of musical instruments in the woodwind group. Unlike woodwind instruments with reeds, a flute is an aerophone or reedless wind instrument that produces its sound from the flow of air across an opening.
8 Soprano Saxophone
9 Clarinet

13 Electric Guitar The electric guitar is a type of guitar that unlike an acoustic guitar, is solid body instead of hollow. They use pickups and amps to produce sound that's audible from more than a few feet. They are mainly used in rock and metal music and in those genres are commonly the main instruments. A few notable electric guitarists are Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, and Chuck Berry.
