I dunno if this has been done before, but I feel I wanna talk about this. ^^; Basically, it's instruments that fit the personalities of the stitchies! So... yah! Here we go/
1 - Either a trumpet or an oboe. It would either be something loud and commanding, or very dark and serious.
2 - Violin. Because when I think cheerful old man, I just instinctively think violin. I don't even know why I've never had someone like that who plays the violin impact me in that way. XD (my brother plays it, but he's the opposite of cheerful old man. XP)
3 and 4 - Drums and Percussion. They need to let out their childish hyperactivity somehow, don't they? XD They could also double as synthesizers!
5 - Guitar. I dunno about this. I imagine it's something to do with dexterity from working with small machines and doctoring and whatnot, but subconsciously, I think it's because I wish he had the voice of Kyle Gas. XD
6 - Piano. It just seems to fit him somehow... maybe it's the crazy? Reminds me of some of the old composers, like Beethoven. XD When he plays it too, I would imagine him never taking his eyes off his fingers, like how when he tries, always appearing interested, like he's just learning the song as he's playing it every time. ^^
7 - Flute or Harp. These might seem a bit odd for her, but I always imagine the flute as a sort of warrior weapon, I can sort of see her playing it while standing on an empty battlefield after a fight, standing tall and proud like she's prone too. ^^; As for the harp, it's feminine, it's graceful, and it sounds amazing. I can really see her playing it for some reason. XP
8 - Cymbals. Lol, JK, it's the Accordion. Another one of those weird things because I imagine him being friendlier than he probably is. And the accordion is a pretty jovial instrument. ^^; That and I love music from the east coast. XD
9 - Vocals. I can't really picture him playing any instrument other than the mic. XD Probably because he's a total n00b, and hasn't learned how to play one yet. (I also picture him singing Tenacious D songs with 5. lolz were had.)
so, that's what I think? What do youse folks think?

Here's my two cents on the matter, just because I think this is an EPIC topic. XD
1: Bazooka. NO, I KID. For some reason I picture a clarinet or Trumpet.
2: Violin. What else for the stitchpunk equivalent of Papa Mousekewitz? It just fits him so well. It can be calm and gentle, or fast paced.
3&4: Turntables. XD Or maybe maracas. Or even castanets.
5: Vocals/Spanish Guitar. Unlike 9, I think 5 would be great in vocals (I blame my fic). The Spanish Guitar is also different from a regular one. I think it has a better feel for 5.
6: Piano. Madness is as madness does, and madness LOVES pianos. Nuff said... besides the fact I think this would be EPIC.
7: Flute. Much for the reason you put up. A lot of warrior characters have flutes and it is a very graceful and beautiful sounding Instrument. Though I would go more for the pan flute, it has a more wild tone to it.
8: Drums, specifically great big Taiko drums from Japan. Or something soft that look intimidating, like the Saxaohone or Cello.
9: Harmonica. I don't even know WHY. I think 9, I think Harmonica.

Guitars. 5 does rythm. 7 does bass, cuz the chick in the band gets stuck with bass. Think Talking Heads and Smashing Pumpkins.
9 does lead, cuz he's a spontaneous spaz.

I love this thread XD 1- Bagpipes. They make a lot of noise 2- Violin or Piano. Older, traditional music. I can just picture him playing them, easily. 3/4- Xylophone. I can just imagine them running up and down it, with the mallets. 5- Flute. He's a sensitive guy! *shot* 6- Drums. I imagine he would play like "Animal" from the muppets. XD 7- Guitar. Headbanging. Etc. 8- Drums. Bongos, perhaps. 9- Kazoo. Since he is a n00b.

1 - violin. i considered the clarinet but i cant see him with something that requires breath power. he can't run two feet (inches?) without clutching his chest LOL. plus, it sounds kind of a solemn and a NO NONSENSE sort of thing to me 2 - xylophone. i pictured 2 making some sort of his own instrument, and he probably appreciate the soft twinkling of some quiet percussion thing. the problem is, i thought it might also should be portable, since he moves around a lot, so it also could be a flute. 3+4 - i agree with the drums part in OP, but what they might do is instead of using real drums, they would probably find a pair of sticks and have fun running around using different objects as drums, like cups and bowls and metal things. think the scene in tarzan when the chimps wander into the camp and start playing music with the stuff they find 5 - trumpet. it may be loud and obnoxious, but i think it /somehow/ fits him. maybe i drank to much tea. 6 - is there anyone who thinks he might be the singer? "the SOOOUUURCE..!" 7 - im leaning towards flute here, but i also thought about the sax ... maybe because she's 2 kewl 4 u 8 - i want to see him use a ginormous gong xD lol his part in the musical is just to swing this massive stick into a gong 9 - acoustic guitar? like the one in the trailer!

XDDDD But yeah, that's probably work... or they'd make a drum kit out of those things. ^^;;;

1 = Clarinet. I think he'd be kinda like Squidward from Spongebob about it to...."9, 5, KEEP IT DOWN, IM TRYING TO PRACTICE MY CLARINET HERE."
2 = Violin. Best. Mental. Image. Ever.
3 and 4 = I see them as trombone players. XD I just think it'd be cute to see 3 blowing on the instrument, and 4 pulling the slide.
5 = Flute. Like Anna said, SENSITAVE GUY.
6 = Definantly drums. Again, like Anna said, 6 rocking out like Animal makes me all happy inside. ^^
7 = Ehhh....idk...she seems more like a PE type.
8 = Tuba. No questions asked. 8 is meant for tuba.
9 = Trumpet. Idk why. Just...trumpet....9's a trumpet guy.

This is like, the best idea for a thread ever. *orchie dork*
1 - Church organ. Elegant, loud, commanding, and somber. Perfect for 1. 2 - Viola. 2's too epic to be a violin, fo sho. 3 and 4 - They can be a triangle. One to hold it, the other to ring it XD 5 - Piccolo. A smaller, more timid instrument. ^^ Fits 5, methinks. 6 - French horn. From what I've heard, you never know what kind of sound you'll get out of it, but it's a beautiful instrument all the same. 7 - Hm...I suppose an electric guitar works for her. Or a cello. 8 - Definitely some sort of percussion instrument, like a kettle drum. 9 - I like the idea of 9 using vocals.

I love this thread so much. -also an orchestra dork-
1. Viola - Because a violin is too effeminate for a manly aging tsundere like 1. -shot- For some reason, I think the viola is just the right amount of elegance, yet the right amount of self-superiority for him.
2. Ocarina - I'm not sure why, when you say 2, I think flute-type instruments.
3/4. Triangle - It works.
5. Celesta - 5 sort of reminds me of a music box.
6. Bandoneon - Or anything as equally deranged-sounding.
7. Piano - Because it's pretty and feminine.
8. Contrabass - Because it's freaking deep.
9. Vocal Humana - ... Just a nerd term for voice synthesizer -sob baww-

I'm not sure about the others, but let me just say this: 2 would totally play the fiddle.
It's a lively instrument, and he seems like a pretty lively guy. When I think violin, I think those sad stories with the violin player in the background. Not 2. He could play piano, too. Heck, I can see him being good at a lot of different instruments.

Darn it Sockpuppet, now you've got an image of 2 playing the fiddle in this big ragdoll hoe-down I hate you so much <33
The fiddle does seem to fit 2 :'D

Oh, what an interesting thread idea~! ^o^
1- I'd have to say a cello. Mainly because in most of the songs I've heard a cello in, it's really sad, but powerful. It also seems to just fit him, in my opinion. ^.~
2- Hm. . . Maybe violin, because it can be really slow and beautiful, but you can also play it as a fiddle and then it gets really fun and upbeat. Also, the violin and cello are very similar, like 1 and 2.
3&4- Definitely drums or some kind of percussion. Maybe because there are two drumsticks. I can see them both sitting at a drum set and then have this really epic drum solo. ^^
5-I can see guitar for him. I don't know why, he just seems like the guitar kind of guy. XD
6- Probably. . . some kind of creepy synth. . .
7- I would have to say flute. ^^ Mainly because I've always associated the flute as a very feminine instrument. Plus, my sister plays the flute and she reminds me a lot of 7, so. . . ^^
8- Trumpet. Probably because it's so loud, and it makes such a statement. XD
9- I think vocals would work really well for 9~! ^^ But I'd also say clarinet, because it can be a really pretty instrument, but something about it seems really clumsy and, well, dorky. XD I should know, I play one. X3

. . . I pretty much agree with everything my sister said (we've had this conversation before) with the exceptions of 6 and 8.
For 6, I'd have to say the celesta - it has the "crazy" of the piano, but with a childish, almost music box-esque sound. Really creepy when played right.
And for 8, I'd have to say, not a trumpet (it's almost too small XD), but more like . . . tribal drums? Like in the live Cologne version of Evanescence's Farther Away, or the Celtic Woman's The Voice. T'is a very powerful instrument, with a very powerful sound. ^^
(I'm pretty sure I have the name of the drum wrong . . . if anyone knows what it's called, I'd like to know. XD)
