    Jokes aside, the triangle is honestly one of the best instruments ever. I've heard so many songs where the triangle just wraps them up nicely. The technique on the notes are honestly pretty complex for a fairly simple instrument. It's like the Mahler hammer stroke, but more loose.

      @@KevintheRhea My example is rather niche. But it's in the game osts of a rhythm game called Patapon, the third one. There's one specific piece where you could hear it very clearly central to the piece, "Pala Biyappa", I think.

    I tried to play the triangle but found it to be very trying when I tried to play the triangle. I did not give up when I grew tired of trying to play the triangle, a tried and true tradition in the tri state area. I will try the triangle as a trio of triangle triers all trying to play the elusive triangle. In the end , we were just a tired trio trying to play the triangle in the tristate area. Very trying indeed.

    My uncle used to play the triangle and he used to be the best in the village. People would come from all over the world just to hear him play. One time a man came into the Rusty Peg and said his doctor had diagnosed him with a disease to his legs , but as soon as my uncle played Beethoven's 98th symphony using just one corner of the triangle, palm-muted, he could walk again
