"Piano is probably the most difficult instrument, which is why pianists probably seem a bit more modest." How to contradict yourself in one sentence.
nah the most difficult is probably bagpipes
organ is more difficult than piano and sounds better. it can basically play any and all wind instruments including the trumpet
Harp is the most difficult instrument to learn. Piano is underneath.

Seriously, though. You are very biased towards folk instruments. They are real instruments, dude. Tambourine is very versatile and I'm very offended by your judgement as a 'campfire' instrument. You've clearly never heard Susana Seivane playing it. 🤦
thanks
Hey man ocarina deserves mid d tier you’re probably only considering the ocarina picture you got there but there are many different kinds of ocarinas the coolest one is probable dual chamber ocarinas you can play two notes at a time with a dual chamber ocarina I don’t think it’s right that the triangle is above ocarina that’s just messed up. edit: there's actually a triple chamber ocarina look at this czcams.com/video/2q2I2SxBQbg/video.html
Saying some instruments are a ”joke” is an insult at every musician playing said instrument. It’s very supercilious and super hypocritical to say something like this. Typical pianist who things only the main orchestra instruments or the piano are “real” instruments, cause piano ain’t the most important instrument, their all in their way important. So please don’t be one of those pianists.
Sounds like we angered the cowbell and maraca enthusiast 😢
I'm a recorder player and he said it's garbish instrument
@@lolstars8498recorder music from the Renaissance period is fantastic. He’s a fool. Pretty sure the recorder has been around longer than any of these instruments. I like the lower key recorders, myself.
Only millenials call harmonica a meme instrument
Whole genre of blues: cries
Hell yeah. Harmonicist will be heard!
I think clarinet is much better than C tier. It has an enormous range and you can play everything. From Classical music over Jazz to modern stuff. As well, it is a good supportative instrument but it is also a great solo instrument. Your comment to the Cello about the human voice is actually what I heard about the clarinet.
You put it in C tier because it is "a real instrument"? So C tier is the worst tier you could put a "real instrument" into. I think, the clarinet is at least A tier
C'mon, guys don't listen at this freaking ignorant. The accordion is fantastic ! Go listen to Richard Galliano and then, let's talk about it
Accordion is awesome!!!
I know this vid is for fun, but on a serious note i think the analysis of the bass guitar was kinda shallow. It’s just as crucial as electric guitar in the context of rock(and fusion jazz too). It’s certainly versatile in terms of tone. And a mix without a bass guitar is just awful. Yes I know bass synths exist but those dont fully replace the bass guitar imo.
“accordion is corny”
all of latin america and central europe: *visible anger*
I bet Davie’s gonna start a war just like how he started a war with TwoSet
yes
yes the twoset army is every where first we take over youtube then the world
i don't think this man has heard a single latin song in his life
Horn is S tier!
Organ beats Piano. It can harmonise with itself in multiple timbres. It has much more tonal variation than piano. It has a larger pitch range, and where it really beats Piano is dynamic range. The organ can play whispering soft sustained tones that you wouldn't manage on a piano, and can compete with a full orchestra when called to. It's also more powerful than an electric guitar. Listen to the soft organ parts in Richard Strauss tone poems like Also Sprach Zarathustra (against a small string group) and Alpine Symphony (against Horn, trumpet and woodwinds). Also, can't forget the trump card - many theatre organs also encapsulate a piano and every percussion instrument as part of themselves. And of course that's only acoustic organs. There's electric organs too.
Also think you're a bit harsh on the recorder. Listen to the way Bach uses them in the Brandenburg concertos.
Also, missed 3 important and confusingly named brass instruments - The Tenor Tuba (or is that Euphonium), the Tenor Tuba (or is that Wagner Tuba, or Tuben) and the Tenor Horn (or is it an Althorn or Baritone Horn). Not to mention the less important but still confusingly named Tenor Horn (or is it the Alto Horn).
Being a percussionist, I definitely have a different perspective on the ranking, especially with the triangle and bongos, I would actually put the triangle up next to the cymbal. It serves its own purpose in the orchestra, and has some noteworthy features in music, even though it doesn’t necessarily play a melody. Triangle technique is very difficult as well, hitting at the same place, and there is a lot of techniques you can use on triangle as well. Also check out Incantation and Dance by Chance, it has a really cool maraca part utilizing several cool techniques you can do on the instrument, and it also showcases the tambourine, bongos and an iconic slapstick part. Vibraphone is the best mallet percussion instrument, it is a lot of fun to play, xylophone music in orchestra is also lots of fun to play.
I do thing piano is the best instrument
It just sounds so beautiful
I just want to say to the violists that I absolutely love the sound that you can make on it :)
“Accordion is not a musical instrument”. - Unsubscribe lol
Love the video.
Can you write a piece for orchestra on stream, please? That would be awesome!!
What are those lights that shine when you press a key, and where can I get one?
As a tubist, I feel completely overrated. A tuba can be a good soloist and can also make good high tones(there are tuba players who can, in a tuba, sound like a trombone, for example, what means pretty high notes). Tuba an also make good multiphonics, a trick that is WAY better in a tuba/euphonium/trombone than in any other instrument. And can also make a cool beatbox, that gives a nice vibe in a piece(simple beatbox, still, faaar away from a beat boxer, but cool even so). I can give you examples in any of this.
CELLO GANG LETS GO
i think cello is gonna be in s tier entirely just because i play cello and i think cello is cool
edit: YES YES YEEESSSS i think its the best s tier.
Yes sir
Imagine Lionel saying *PIANO IS A MEME INSTRUMENT*
pro tip : watch series on InstaFlixxer. Been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Lyric Ishaan yup, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :)
@Jacob H Haha hello :D
Piano is definitely the best instrument, otherwise there is no MUSICALBASICS channel existing!
Me realising iam rewatching a video of 1 hour *again* I loved it tho xD
Accordion is amazingggg
Oh my god, I found someone who knows too !
Ugh...you DARE crush the VERY emotions of the Pipe Organ?! The KING OF INSTRUMENTS HIMSELF?! UNACCEPTABLE!
Dude you’re just ROASTING these ppl I feel attacked
Oboe but no bassoon?
Bassoon got B tier. Seeing how others have cra**ed on it (twoset violin), it's in a place that doesn't hurt too much. (On 12 may I get my first bassoon lesson)
As a someone who’s trying to learn ukulele I’ve never been offended by something I 100% agree with
I understand that you don't like the pan flute, but listen to "The Lonely Shepherd" interpreted by Gheorghe Zamfir and Andre Rieu, maybe you will change your opinion.
Ikr Lionel underrated the pan flute so much
Yes, cello is the best string instrument, this man knows what's up XD
Ahahahaha yesss you started with trumpet. Trumpet is the most important
I love violin if I didnt start piano 100% violin btw u r very talented i love u
“Clarinet sounds boring by itself” has this guy heard of klezmer music?? Or jazz?? It’s an incredible soloistic instrument as it is an orchestral
Piano cannot play vibrato. Piccolo, voice, and the high pitch recorder perform well as the lead in an ensemble, the same as the violin because of vibrato. Piano makes a good accompaniment. The guitar has vibrato and it makes an amazing accompaniment for voice. What is this shade coming from the piano?
3:29 that swallow tho
Petiotion for lionel to make a piece with only d/e/f tier (all instruments if posible have to play a decent role and have to play for most of the piece) instuments and uplpad it to youtube
(This was meant to be a joke but it would be fun if you did this)
As a ocarina player I have never been so attacked
i remember in primary school, this kid was given the cowbell to play at a performance. and it was just b a n g i n g the whole time lmao XD
edit: as a clarinetist, i would choose flute to be the best woodwind any day- kinda wanna learn flute but i can’t play it sadly
You could try it! Maybe it could work! I believe in you :)
i know i'm late but oboe >>>> flute
no woodwind can ever beat the oboe
@@leightandrew2616 what about bassoon
@@ligetimoment2524 bassoon is also great.
Have u EVER heard of Victor Wooten, Les Claypool?? Famous bass players who are front and center in their shows. Guitars are in the background. There are so many others I could name but it would be pointless. You’re wild.
Ocarina, E...
R.I.P Link...
Im with you😂Ily
I think trumpet is s tier for shure!
Flute should definitely be in A, because (if played well) it has a beautiful sound, and has a really good repertoire... much better than trumpet or oboe for instance. Flute has Bach's sonatas and partita, Telemann' fantasias, 3 Mozart concertos, and so on.
Wow this list is not good at all...
Environmental Activists: no more instruments made of wood.
Lionel: *plays piano in anger*
Literally every instrument with a reed: joins
Man just disrespected every musician ever
26:43 i guess not
just joke
i think bagpipes deserve C tier they're really nice in marching bands.
bro has never heard a bass guitar in his life
nah the organ is better than the piano. it existed before the piano, and was first to implement a keyboard. it is also more difficult than a piano, and there is no way a piano sounds better than an organ. trumpet is literally A tier and the organ can play a trumpet voice louder. keep in mind the organ is basically all wind instruments combined. it is definitely above piano
Only thing I disagree with is that violin should be above cello
I love you
I actually have way more range with my panflute than a transverse flute.
Epic
Where is the euphonium?!
I play clarinet to
proud to be a cellist
Piano would be S+ if it could do crescendos.
Bass guitar cannot be replaced
he has not heard an actual bass guitar to think it can be replaced
2 years too late, but the song “I wanna be your dog” by the stooges has a cowbell in it and it’s not a meme. It’s a good song.
i agree with s rank
bruh he did not just dis keyboard percussion like that
POV: "organ is just a piano ripoff" it was made 800 years BEFORE pianos lol
Ban the Piccolo!
An ignorant interpretation of the trombone
When you call mellophone an idiophone -_-
wait my chats aren't popping up wth
Xylophone is the least fun percussion instrument to play, even worse then the bells.
cimbalom is the best instrumet sorry:)
Hi
Trombone below woodwinds?
*BLASPHEMY!*
He doesn't appreciate glissando prob. because he can't do it on his own instrument and is arrogant AF.
"Cello is S tier" - okay, where's the upvote button
Tamborine is cheesy F Tier
where in the frick is the baritone
Bass guitar is D-tear? Dave504 is pissed and wants to slap you. :)
piano rating seems kinda bias
Sax, trumpet, and piano are all S tier in my opinion.
A tier would be Piano
None in B tier
C tier would be Drums.
These are all the instruments I care about.
bruh trombone is S tier
Trombone should be lower than B tier, support instrument, no versatility, pain to play.
He forgets banjo even though is cheesy and utter garbage 🗑️
