Problem is, morning is my best time for everything! And it doesn't all fit! :)
Any time will work, but my favorite time to play is evening. Something about dusk and nighttime that's always drawn me. Also, my muscles feel a bit looser at the end of the day than they do in the morning.
has to be as late as possible in the evening, just before bed, then my brain will 'soak' everything overnight :) well don't know if it does but that's when I practice best 9pm to 1am :D
Morning is for stretching and gathering one's self for the day. Late night is for dreaming and planning and brilliant ideas. I practice late into the night...

Lark here, although if I can spread practicing over the course of the day, I will.
I rise early, and use a bit of that time for warm-up and bow exercises--helps my arthritic shoulders.

During the day I'll grab practice any time a minute shows up, but the favorite time is either before work or early evening on into the night. Problem is, both those times require practice mute, esp. the 5:00am...

Best at 4.00am but it is not popular with the neighbours, so i usually do 9.00am to 9.00pm and I find twelve hours is enough anyway.
I didn't read the option "at night", so i voted "evening".
Usually i like to practice in the 2.00 - 5.00 (in the morning) time frame :)
My teacher says that playing in the morning allows you to really hear your flaws- but if you play late at night, you start to think you are better than you actually are, especially with intonation! This might be really subjective but does anyone else agree?
My hearing is most acute in the morning. This is the time of day when I make my most progress.
I voted Early Afternoon, which has only 9% at this writing; but I actually follow a split routine -- 2:30-4 PM and 6:30-8. Start and end times not exact here, but this gives the general idea.

I'm a morning person and start my days at 4:40 AM -- no connection with A-440. I'm in business for myself and prefer to do most of my work before noon and then hit the gym 4 days a week -- M-T-TH-F -- 12:30-1:45.

I'm not really sure when the best time, is it is all about when I have time and that is in the evening.
I have a hunch that split times work really well! Seems like a lot of people like early in the day for technical things, and later for "making music."
I always found that 60 to 90 minutes just after a lesson was most productive of all.
used to like late night, but mornings seem better these days
"I have a hunch that split times work really well! Seems like a lot of people like early in the day for technical things, and later for "making music."

I tend to agree with this. i wish I were a morning person. then I'd get up early and tackle intonation and scales.

Due to work i practice in the evening but on weekends it's during the day aswell. Evenings feels more productive for some reason.
