Inspired by Shahrukh learning guitar, I think we have to decide, as a collective, the answer to this important question. Is the guitar the sexiest instrument, or is it something else?
Some suggestions:
Saxophone

Drums

Piano

Guitar

Trumpet

Something else?

Which, in your mind, is sexiest?
Follow up question, if you pick guitar, acoustic or electric?
1. Violin – difficult to play, sounds divine with its varying moods and looks just awesome. Also, lost opportunity to put SRK in Mohabbattein as a picture for it.
2. Drums – the one used with hands, the true rhythm maker for sexy or free dancing music
3. Piano – Have you seen the new Emma that is on rent now? In it a is a scene where Jane Fairfax playing the piano made the ladies start fanning themselves, and good piano playing is exactly that
4. Saxophone – it is hard not to associate it with sexiness since it has been used so much to imply it

So no guitar AT ALL???? What is this MADNESS?
I can see the violin I suppose, but it always feels a little too poetic to be sexy to me.
Drums played by hand, definitely!
Piano, for me only if it is played with a lot of passionate energy, not just tiddling around.
And I guess we have all be brainwashed into the saxophone.

My last 3 crushes and my husband all play guitar so for me the answer is obvious. The question is: was I ever in love with a guy who doesn’t play guitar?

I would say “yes”, except SRK is now learning, so that is retroactively untrue.

Sexiest instrument for me will always be electric bass, thanks to this bad boy, who, BTW, just recovered from COVID, thankfully.
Next is piano, for the same reasons Kirre gave for the violin. With or without singing. Also nice for all the times in movies when someone kisses someone’s neck or hugs them from behind while playing piano. Like at 2 mins into this song. Which I find really sexy, or hilarious, depending on my mood. I mean, just have sex–why throw all the food around? Who has to clean that up? 🙂
I also think a muted trumpet, sort of film noire style, is sexy.
Guitar and sax are just too stereotyped. Violin is nice but can quickly start sounding over-dramatic to me.
Minus 50 sexy points though, for anyone fake playing any instrument. It’s just the worst.

Watched the video, and I am afraid I land on “hilarious” instead of sexy. I was torn until the moment she opened the fridge and just started throwing things on him.

Someone who has to fill a certain number of minutes with a “sexy” song when their actors may not/don’t want to actually embrace or kiss, lol. If they had left out the refrigerator bit it would have been fine. Grapes falling and steamy coffee, ok. 🙂

I will stick w acoustic guitar as sexiest followed by timpani (followed by drum set!) My first love (still good friends) was (still is) a percussionist and I have so many sweet memories of being in the dark empty theater watching Juilliard pre-college division rehearsals and then sneaking away to kiss surreptitiously in corridors worried about getting caught. Ah, 16!

Ooo, DTPH must be all for you. And have you seen Zindaggi Rocks with Sush? It’s not that good of a movie, but loads of scenes of her playing guitar, if you are into that kind of thing.

the guitar becomes a sexy intrument for me when played by someone who also uses it as a drum (like in Hispanic folk music)…this combination is just overwhelming for me 🙂
In the video, I really liked ShahRukh to play an instrument…in the movies I know it’s an act, the instrument is just a prop, so no emotional involvement from my side…except for the piano act in DDLJ, the Challa song (he really took lessons to make it more believable) and the drumming in Koyla (so much angry passion!…THAT was sexy).

In terms of actual music produced, I think saxophone for obvious reasons, followed closely by acoustic guitar. But in terms of “if a man plays an instrument, which instrument should he play to make him the sexiest”, guitar. Electric or acoustic, I don’t care THAT much, but acoustic does have a slight edge for me.

Yes! I thought guitar as sexiest “the way a man looks while playing it” instrument too! Glad to know I am not alone.

For the sexiest instrument – no opinion. But I do have an opinion for the absolute least sexy instrument – trumpet. My oldest son plays the trumpet. I love my son, and I hate that instrument. I can’t wait till this next fall, when we stop paying for preschool and can pay for piano lessons, I’m not sure the piano is sexy, but it has got to be better than the trumpet.

I also need to state that my husband plays the guitar, a lot. It is super sexy when we are camping. It is not so sexy when dishes need to done. He also does the dishes, he is totally hot doing the dishes.

Well, that goes without saying, doing dishes is always sexy.

I will have to get back to you about sexy instruments. I join the many women on this thread who’ve dated a guitar player, and it was pretty sexy but men tend to make unsexy faces (i.e. biting the lower lip) when playing it. Also, only blues guitar is sexy, because my dad was a classical guitarist so that ruins that. I’m from New Orleans and have seen trumpets and saxophones played live my whole life, and it’s basically sexy until you have to bang the spit out of them.
