I think violin.
This Signature is Not in Use.
Bag pipes?

Violin is actually painful.

The recorder. Mostly because when it's played really well, you're like "wait, that's what a recorder is supposed to sound like?" But you almost only hear it being played poorly or messed around on.
Violin is a good one, reed instruments like saxophone and clarinet make horrible screeching sounds when played poorly as well.

A group of bagpipes that aren't in tune with each other is easily one of the worst sounds I've ever heard

Saxophone
Sack to crack, going to town
Harp.
Without truth, there is nothing.
Clarinet. It sounds like shit at the best of times. I can't imagine how bad it is to be played badly.
Shut your BF28/9 sound hole and listen up.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Strike three.
Theremin.

Violin is a good one.

In the context of live music, drums should be up there too. They're inherently a loud, driving part of the music that's supposed to be a metronome. A bad drummer will mess up everyone else.

Bad trumpet and bad violin are equally abhorrent.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

Trumpet was the first one that came to my mind tbh
Hey, everyone, what's going on in this topic? Oh.

Obviously, you don't live near an octopus whose house is a Moai head and who works as a cashier at a fast food restaurant.

Fuckin' finally , someone said it.

A bad oboe sounds like a 300 pound man falling on a box of birds.

The accordion.

Whether played badly or not.

Bagpipes or sitar would be my guess.
Have you seen the Yellow Sign?

First I was going to say trombone, but after thinking it over, trumpet. The mouthpiece on a trombone is big enough to cover most of your mouth at least, whereas a trumpet mouthpiece will just result in the sounds of spittle flying out mixed with groaning fart noises (trombone is more of just the fart part and less spit, but deeper).

People trying them for the first time always think you just blow into a brass instrument like a recorder.

I've got to pick the violin over woodwind and brass instruments because with those if you're playing it poorly you probably aren't even making a sound. There's at least a little bit of technique required to make them make any kind of noise, where with the violin all you have to do is have the bow touch the strings.

Violin is a fine pick and all but there is mostly definitely a sound when you teach someone how to blow into a brass instrument and they give it their first try. It's like a weak fart that sounds both extremely dry and wet at the same time.

Skin flute
If you can't say something nice, go ahead.
I think it is bagpipes. A little AltoC ocarina is bad enough if you do not blow into it at the proper angle.

The problem there being a perfectly played recorder is still an extremely unpleasant sound.

Oh wow, recorders are incredibly lovely played right. I have a soft spot for wind instruments in any case.
Time is a funny thing, you know? I guess in the big picture of my life, you were only a blip. But oftentimes, those "blips" make the biggest impacts.
Clarinet or any woodwind that uses a reed

I have sax bias , but I think the saxophone. Some people are saying bagpipes, not to sound like an ass but do they sound good when played correctly ? The change from sounding really good like the Sax can to sounding like crap is the greatist with the sax.

Just sounds like loud farts when played badly
