Are there any music instruments that christians shouldn't learn or play?

I'm a christian and i think nearly all music instruments are suitable for christians. I have asked this question before but I want to collect more opinions so I asked it again.

Update:

I'm really serious so please answer it seriously.

    When I was studying music at university, one of my classmates was a performance artist, and in their end of semester performance played mostly electric guitar, but used different electronic equipment to interfere with the sound and produce feedback and static. At one point he pulled out a dildo and turned it on right near the amp and then proceeded to move the dildo closer and further away from the amp to get different distortion sounds. If the dildo can be said to be a musical instrument as it was in this instance, perhaps it should be off-limit to Christians? Even being Christian, I thought the dildo was funny, though.

    Of the normal instruments, I don't think there are any problems with any of them.

    For example a harp, was in the Old Testament. One could extend that to other stringed instruments. You can pluck instruments like violins, although they generally use a bow, a traditional piano is a stringed instrument with little hammers that hit the strings.

    There were flutes and trumpets, which are examples of non-stringed instruments.

    They had hand drums and cymbals.

    If you want instruments specifically mentioned in the bible:

    Correct me if I'm wrong

    But the only prohibited instrument according to orthodox Christianity

    is playing your own instrument
