Lemmy's Jazz Instrument Tier List v1 (lemmy.world)

What should I change/add? I'll make a v2 based on comments.

Obviously this is a lighthearted, semi-joke post lol.

Made with the combo setting in mind. Big band maybe requires a different list.

Hey thanks for the input lol i'll incorporate it into v2

Flugel above trumpet is weird

Yeah, I see what you mean. I'll put both in C.

French Horn and Bagpipes should share a tier. A low one.

Yeah I think I'll add bagpipes to E?

Vibraphone should be above flute

This is a mildly hot take I think. For me vibes were borderline C already. If someone has opinions on this please comment to resolve it lol.

Mic / vocals should be lower. Jazz vocals is an oxymoron [hot take!]

VERY hot take. Very curious to hear what others feel about this???

Vocals are very controversial among the jazz community lmao but I'm firmly in the "vocals are great" camp (not that I want to hear vocals all the time, it's just like how I don't want to listen to trumpet or whatever all the time).

Why are all the saxes tenor?

Why’s your bass guitar got 5 strings? Jaco only needed 4

I will fix these in v2!

Vocals are great when done well. See e.g. the time when Björk did jazz.
