Which is easier to learn? Guitar, violin or piano?

I want to choose one musical instrument to learn, but I have no idea which one is the easiest one in general?

It may depend on you. If you have small hands, probably a violin. Piano and guitar are more difficult for people with small hands. Piano requires that you work each hand independant of the other while on guitar, both hands work together because the fingers on the fretboard have to be in the right place when the strings are strummed or picked. Also guitar is rough on your fingers until calouses develop.

I would suggest you go to a store that sells instruments and try them to see which feels more comfortable and which sound you like the best. You will do much better with the instrument if you enjoy what you're doing.

It depends on what you want to do, if you really focus on what instrument you want to learn then the one your focused on will be most easier. Also see what suits you best (handling, playing and holding - Wise)

It all depends on you - This is an answer a lot of people will say, and you might think "FAKE AND GAY"
But it's serious,
I can't play guitar or any orchestra instruments. Period.
Yet I am a FANTASMA at the start on piano.
It all depends on what you want to do, what you want your music to sound like, and how you all want it to be.

idk about guitar or violin, but piano is def the most difficult, cuz u have to read 2 clefs, treble and base (like if ur reading a book, you would be reading 2 lines at a time) and both hands are doing completly different things, one is harmony and the other is melody. idk if u already know how to read music, but if you do it will def make learning piano easier. I play piano and clarinet, and clarinet is way easier than piano in terms of moving fingers/hands cuz there's only one clef to read

for me it was a violin but I suck at guitar, but my friend taught himself how to play guitar and piano, I would say the one you truely want to learn the most is going to be the easiest one for you.

I play guitar quite well but I suck at piano/keyboard. I'd say guitar is the easiest in the sense that there are so many cheap books on how to play and websites/videos to help you learn songs. I'd say guitar and piano are the most versatile instruments but especially guitar. It depends on what genre of music you like, I used to like everything but then I converted to alternative rock so guitar is good. I learnt how to be a rhythme guitarist by self-teaching for a year and now I have a classical guitar teacher. I'm not particularly musically talented and I think guitar is easy if you practise. Guitar is also probably the coolest one so I'd recommend playing guitar! Hope that helps :)
