Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I play flute, singing, recorder, piano and my sister plays the clarinet!. I would say singing is the hardest, you have to worry so much about pitch and techniques, with an instrument you just have to press the right keys or bow the right notes!. With singing you have to keep in pitch and support and there are so many things to remember!. Next i would say the piano because you have to learn two parts and play them at thhe same time!. Then trumpet because its so hard to make a sound on it!. Then sax (making a sound on a sax is also very difficult), violin (because bowing and not sounding like a dying cat is something not many people achieve), cello (for the same reason as violin), flute (at the beginning the flute is virtually impossible, it took me three months to make a sound on the flute), clarinet (making a sound without squeaking is very difficult and it takes a lot of air to blow the clarinet) then recorder because it is really easy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The piano is the most difficult instrument to learn in my opinion, but it is also the most fitting to learn if you have never studied music before!. Music theory as represented on the staff is best explained by the piano keyboard!. If you understand the different key signatures on the piano, then learning other istruments will be easier!.

I took up the piano in the third grade and it really aided me when I started other instruments such as the sax, clarinet, and guitar!.

To answer your question about the list:

Piano
Singing (it is a lot more difficult than most people think)
Trumpet
Flute
Clarinet
Saxophone
Violin
Cello
RecorderWww@QuestionHome@Com

it all depends on the skill of the individual!.!.!.!.not the instrument itself!.
i haven't played all the ones i list, but some are listed from things i've heard!.

Harp
Cello
French Horn
Violin
Guitar
Piano
Clarinet
Saxaphone
Flute

but once again, not instrument is actually harder than the other!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For me, the easiest would probably be the recorder, although I hate the sounds it makes!. The hardest is the cello, without a doubt, but I absolutely love its sound!. A friend of mine used to play it for me, and I would almost always end up in tears!. All the rest are in between!. When I was much younger, my piano teacher used to say 'A wrong note, dear, is a wrong note, whether you play it loudly or softly'!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say a Pipe Organ,
you have to use not only your hands on about 2 keyboards (sometimes 6-8 and 10 in the really mad ones) but you have to use your feet aswell!!
