Playing stuff on the wrong Instrument

General Chit Chat

My daughter has just gone mad at me for playing “If I ever loved you” by Justin Currie who most of wont of heard of but is a musical friend of who used to be in the Scottish band Del Amitri. I was using the wrong instrument apparently I should of been playing piano not tenor banjo.

What examples can we think of that just work on a different instrument from the original. Note Justin has done this on an acoustic guitar on TV but is not, as far as I aware a banjo or mandolin player as I am.

Love to see examples from our community doing this or links to well known musicians.

@jonobacon I am aware you you like “shitty flute” so probably have several examples.
