Aside form the Human voice...

what is the most expressive instrument? I say it's the Electric guitar(natrual and artificial harmonics etc) followed by the Pedal Steel.

Most wind instruments can't be polyphonic, and most stringed instruments (and I'm including piano) can't be anywhere near as expressive on simple music as a wind instrument.
