Hang drums sound beautiful

Accordion, dammit Accordion!

Sitar!

Classical guitar, here's Nocturne by Chopin.

Hammond B3. Mmmmm.

I love horns in music, especially the trumpet. It's why I'm a big fan of Cake, they have a prominent role for the trumpet in a lot of their songs. The best has to be the trumpet solo in Italian Leather Sofa (starts around 2:10) but they have other great ones too.

Saxophone. But not always because it's smooth. Because sometimes it ROCKS...

...Or because it's crazier than anything you've ever heard!

Piano. Supertramp, "From Now On".

And the sax in that tune is pretty great also.

Drums - pretty much any single by Street Drum Corp

Probably acoustic guitar tbh, I love acoustic covers, but Piano is amazing too, and electric guitar.

Acoustic covers are just so raw and nice to listen to.

I'm not normally a big flute fan, but the flute solo in Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull is fire.

Bamboo flute!

A cozy EP, one that you can usually hear in jazz, fusion, and r&b.

An 8-string guitar with a clear heavy djent tone, like Meshuggah, Tesseract, and Animals As Leaders.

I appreciate a good bagpipe. Especially when they share a lot of tonal similarities with violins like this nightwish instrumental. https://youtu.be/yOxGlXmPusI

Native American flute.

There's nothing that makes me chill out and vibe faster after work.

Harpsichord. Its just such a nice and unique timbre

Trumpet. I think it's cause that's the instrument I first learned music on in elementary school.

Vibraphone and marimba

Very close, steel drum

Piano or Violin for solo instruments, but I love a good concerto or symphony.

I really like the duduk.

The most well known piece is probably the gladiator music.

Pro musician here.

There are so many, but a hurdy gurdy has gotta be up there. Played by someone who knows more than the basics, it sounds like something a medieval king would demand played to relax.

(They’re also among the most expensive instruments out there, as the only makers today are extremely talented individual ones; no big company like Fender or anything makes them. If you see one, you know it was handmade by a master.)

I also love the sound of the Crwth. It’s from Wales, and is sort of like a regional spinoff/precursor to the violin.

Chainsaw (bfg division)
