What type of music do you prefer to play on your instrument? I know when I got my fiddle I thought only classical. I have changed since then, so I was wondering, what do you prefer and has it changed over time?
In the poll options, Folk is referring to older songs from whatever country you are from. In US, I think of Peter Paul and Mary, Trini Lopez, etc songs. Puff the Magic Dragon, Lemon Tree, Shenandoah, etc.
If you choose “Other”, please feel free to elaborate in a reply.
Feel free to explain why, or whatever else you would like to say, specific songs, recommend books with the music you like, etc.
This seems like a long poll, but there are three different instruments. You might prefer classical on cello and jigs on violin. I tried to allow for this. More than one answer may be selected to allow for this.

I answered "classical". Right now my ear only understands the simpler harmonies. I'm a sucker for thirds and fifths with an occasional fourth or lead tone. Anything else fries my brain enough to make it even less likely to hit (however approximately) the correct pitch. D# and I are currently not good buddies.
Might just have to start listening to the (for me) more challenging classical stuff and hopes it grows on me.
