What is a good small instrument to take on hiking trips?
    #25821177 -

Title pretty much says it all. I would like to buy an instrument that I could take with me in nature, but one that is versatile enough for most kinds of music, and sounds good on it's own. Tin whistle is cool, but it's lound and only good for irish sounding music. Harmonica? Also too limited. Ukulele is the one I'm mostly leaning towards because I used to play guitar, so I could learn it relatively easily. And it can be very versatile in skilled hands. A small acoustic guitar is a bit too douchy.
Any other ideas?

Ehhh ukes are even more hipstery then a mini acoustic :shrug: I'd go for something slightly bigger like a mandolin, though they are harder on the fingers.

Bring a flute of some kind... that's a pretty portable instrument. A smaller, lighter bongo maybe.

Edit: like an ocarina, that would be sick. You might be able to open doors to any sealed off temples you encounter. :justdontknow:

For a while I was thinking about taking up the irish flute, they're pretty portable if you get them key-less and you can learn on the cheap with a tin whistle, but the flute seems a lot more versatile. You can get some pretty cheap ones from 150-300 USD if you look around.

EDIT: These are the first guys I found, they seem pretty reputable: https://www.irishflutestore.com/collections/irish-flutes-previously-owned

Wow! Ocarina! First time seeing it, and I'm definitely buyong one! Sounds awesome and looks weird! What could be better!

Irish flute also sounds awesome, but is out of my price range for now. I'll start with an ocarina and see if I like, and can learn, playing on a flute.
Mandolin is one of my favorite instruments, I love how it sounds, but is also quite an expensive option for now.
And as for harmonice, it always seems to conjure pictures of depression-era America in my head. :lol: I'll have to see what can be played on it.

Ocarinas are super easy, you pretty much blow into them and cover a hole for the note you want.

Flute takes a lot more focus in how you blow air, you have to sort of angle it right and be very precise. Takes way more practice.

Last few times I tried playing flute by the time I could play some solid notes I was getting crazy light headed :lol:

Ocarinas are also one of the oldest musical instruments (flutes are too) but ocarinas are so simple humans have carved them for thousands of years.

Related note that may blow some minds:


Toto - Africa (Sweet Potato & Squash Cover)

This guy literally carved fresh potatoes/squash into ocarinas for a cover :rofldrunk:

Good thinking, in case you get bored out there and feel like banging a turkey. Use the mating call.
