My classical guitar. I've played all types of guitars (trust me, when I say all types, I mean it), and it never occurred to me that I should try classical. Currently, it's my favorite instrument.
I've been living for 30 years, and even if I live for 300, I will never be able to understand music. Why is it that major chords sound so happy? Why is that you change a single half note, to a minor chord, and you suddenly feel dejected and melancholy?
For most of you, 100% of music that you've ever heard, from twinkle twinkle little star to the most complicated jazz piece to Justin Bieber, involves just 12 notes. Just 12! And most of those songs only use 7 of those notes. What kind of prose can you write with 12 words? How many foods can you make with 12 ingredients? Music is incredible. And sometimes, it's more prudent to enjoy something rather than to try to make sense out of it.
