Piano (1/10)

Playability: 9/10. The piano is popular for a reason. It’s not so difficult to learn, especially if you just want to play chords. Many people even self-teach or follow YouTube tutorials. Also, you can play pretty much any song on the piano, and it will sound good.

Aesthetic: 9.5/10. The piano has an ethereal, soft, comforting sound to it that is naturally pleasing to hear. You can play any genre of music. But, it is somewhat difficult to control the sound’s volume, making it less versatile than, say, a wind instrument.

Convenience: 5/10. Pianos are not easy to transport. They are big, heavy, and delicate. Keyboards are more accessible!  While still not the easiest to carry around, they are definitely easier to move than a grand piano. Pianos are also quite hard to tune, often requiring a professional.
