With which instruments can we express the most emotions?

These all're stringed instruments, and do you agree with Edgecrusher77, who said: "For me, without doubt, the strings instruments : From violin to guitar (bass also) and also the piano.
Soul and emotions got vibrations like strings, it s the perfect kind of instrment to express your feeling..."?

Those three I mentioned as my own favourites; I consider them being closest to human nature and nature around us in usual, like nordic folkmusic that speaks to nordic mind direct and openly.. It's not just the strings but also all the other instruments that are older and even archaic, original instruments for each culture, 'root instruments' so to say, 'instruments of nature (and even mind)'..

EDIT: Btw, apologies for my possibly terrible english, I'm more into nordic languages..

What is: "Good morning!" or !Hello! in norvegian, and svenska? I want to learn these languages:)) I speak spanish, a little english, and a little german. But I'm intrested in nordic languages.

Heh, well,

'Good Morning!'
NOR: God morgen!
SWE: God morgon!

'Hello!'
NOR: Hei!
SWE: Hej!

Så enkelt är det.. :)
 
IMHO, i think it's not the instrument which creates feeling, it's the musician who plays it. And how many feelings he can play with his instrument? It depends only on his imagination and virtuosery. But... With strings(violin, cello, viola)we can play only one melody in the same time, with piano we can mix two different, couse two hand are free... Piano has also three foot pedals to connect notes e.g.
Just listen to Chopin's Nocturns (Es-minor e.g.), his preludiums ('Raindrop' or e-minor), his etudes (Revolutionary etude is one of the best piano compositions i've ever heard), or listen to "The Moonlight" 14.Sonate c sharp minor composed by Beethoven, nowhere you can find so many feelings floating in music...

It depends on too many things, on the other hand it's not worth working or even possible to name all of those.. But one of the most important is the listener him/herself, his/her thoughts, moods, life experience, everything he/she is.. I could in a random way play what I will and for a some meaning or feeling of my own, but you make only your own image of it.. As well as in writing, other arts, philosophies, everything..

IMHO it has nothing to do with polyphony; I can play much of nice melodies and via that create feelings and atmosphere just with my simple whistle.. Var och en på sitt eget sätt (someone who can english better can translate).. :)
