A new poll has been released revealing the sexiest instruments for someone to play as voted by over 1,000 hot and bothered individuals.
The 60 Minutes/ Vanity Fair poll is set to help some of us defend our instrument of choice with facts and figures. Heads up, brass players – it’s not looking good for you.
While you may have a fetish for seeing orchestral performers dress sharply in their concert blacks, watching them waltz on stage grasping these instruments can be a rare occurrence:
First place on the irresistible instrument list is the guitar, with 26 per cent of voters taking a fancy. The saxophone was ranked almost as highly scoring 21 per cent. Composers like Ravel and Bizet were obviously ahead of their time, taking advantage of those smooth saxy tones bound to get knees knocking and cheeks blushing.
The poll found piano, violin, drums, and flute to be the next sexiest of instruments to play – but no information was given as to what would happen if they all perform together. We predict heavy breathing and rising body temperatures would be the more mild of consequences.
Things are also looking up for music listeners, with 73 per cent of respondents voting jazz as a more important genre than hip hop, and picking Mozart ahead of Jay-Z as the artist they’d most like their child to study (after the Beatles, however. It could have been worse).
Which instrument gets your heart pumping? If you’re a trumpet player and stuck single, you now know why.
