According to Gary Larsen's cartoon they give you a harp in Heaven and an accordion in Hell.

Assuming no knowledge of playing either instrument, and a VERY large number of people playing one in each venue, which is going to sound worse?

Update - unanimous agreement that the accordions would sound much worse because even a poorly played harp can sound OK as background noise. Thanks to all that commented.

Accordions all the way.

Even when they're discordant harp's don't sound really, really bad.

I’m an accordionist. The thought of that Hell soundscape is far more terrifying than the other.

100% accordions will sound worse and louder and more discordant.

It's easy to sound decent with a harp. You may not carry a tune, but just strumming the strings sounds pretty.
