What's the most overrated musical instrument?

There is no correct answer to this one. In Hivemind you are guessing which of these 5 answers most other people picked.

Why this one divides people

Every instrument has its champions, which means every instrument has people quietly rolling their eyes. The drums get accused of being more noise than tune, the electric guitar of relying on a solo to do all the talking. The saxophone is the most argued over, loved in one decade and mocked in the next. The violin carries the weight of being serious by default, admired more than chosen. And the piano, oddly, gets called overrated by the very people who cannot stop playing it. What the answer really measures is which instrument you were made to learn as a child.
