Hmm...I feel that playing the violin is pleasant and enjoyable, but I wouldn't call it "fun."

Maybe because I've played so long, when I play violin it feels just like an extention of my body, and so playing the violin is nice but I take it for granted. I like that you have to move your bow arm quite vigorously, sometimes with full-body motions. The sound you get matches the motion you make. There's a strong body-instrument connection.

Now electric guitar -- I'd say THAT instrument is truly fun, more of a euphoria fun. Being able to make a tiny motion and create a huge sound is kind of a rush! I'd vote for electric guitar as "most fun instrument."

I'd say second-most fun instrument is the cello.

Third most fun instrument to play: drums.

Fourth most fun: violin.
