So, I play the organ in our church occasionally. It's not my calling, I just am helping fill in until someone is assigned the job. But today, as I was sitting up on my organ perch, I was looking out over the congregation and trying to catch the eyes of various men, when I had a realization. The organ is just not a sexy instrument.
Think about it for a moment. When someone mentions an organ, you immediately think of some old lady wearing knee high stockings squinting up at the music while she stretches to reach the foot pedals with her orthopedic shoes. Even if you've never had an organ player in your church that looked like that, it's still the picture in your mind, isn't it. So, it hit me that guys do not find playing the organ sexy.
This caused me to think about various instruments and their sex appeal. Tell me what you think.
Sexy instruments:
Electric guitar, drums (as in a set), violin, vocals, french horn, xylophone, and sometimes the piano (depending on who's doing the playing).
Instruments that are the antithesis to sexy:
Organ, clarinet, baritone, tuba, kazoo, saxophone, oboe, bass drum, and bassoon.
Instruments that are asexual:
flute, cello, banjo, trumpet, trombone, triangle, cymbals, piccolo, and nose whistle.
