I would have to say my favorite instrument is the piano for a few reasons, some of which I will list below!
1) The sound is just heavenly and it sounds good even if you are a beginner;
2) which brings me to the next point, I can stomach my children going through the various stages of learning it, from the very beginner level onwards. I could not stomach hearing my 3 children play the violin daily, with the challenging sounds to the ear it would make at the beginner learning stages! & it takes a loooot of practice & time to make a violin and many other such instruments sound good & tolerable on a daily basis! Hence the piano as my favorite pick!
3) It is a good instrument to begin learning music on, and once one reaches a certain stage switching to other instruments and much easier;
4) On a vain 'note' (no pun intended!) not only the sound, but I think even the look of a piano is very elegant, and just takes any room it is placed in to a different level of class!
