I'm sure we all have a bunch of favourites; I place the guitar, acoustic and electric bass, trombone, cello, flute, tuba, bassoon, kalimba, vibraphone, various keyboards and the modern drum kit way up at the top of my list. But what is that single instrument that holds the crown, and why?
For me, it's the mighty Hammond B3 organ. It's versatility is simply too much to deny. From the range of tones it can make (especially with its perfect match - the Leslie rotary speaker), from solo to background, the B3 has it all. It can pound out massive, swirling sounds or the most delicate expresssions and everything in between. It's a rhythm instrument, it's a melody maker. It comps well with just about anything, but especially guitar. It can scream with a crunchy bite or warble soft sustains. There is simply nothing else like it and it is, bar none, my favourite instrument.
So what's yours? What instrument do you seek out?
