Contra Bass Clarinet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-aqcHlSFEI&list=RDQM1rbFoJYEB5E&start_radio=1
I like the cello a lot.
The cello work in Barenaked Ladies' The Flag is so soothing for such a sad song.
Rhodes
Let my add a bit of love for the wurlitzer too :)
Small self promo: check out my track, full of Rhodes:
Listen to (R)hodes & (B)reaks All Day by Thassodar on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/Sv3eVCzKrT0SpdFXmd
Slut
Absolutely
Bari sax
Gotta listen to some Morphine
Oboe.
Wow, you’re a monster! 😳
A monster that loves the warm, woody sound of the oboe.
Church organ. The larger, the better.
…and playing Bach at almost deafening levels! I literally can (and will) sleep during a soundscape like this.
Cello for me
Handpan, just so mellow sounding.
My favorites are eastern instruments that have a meditative quality, like the Indian tanpura.
Also whatever instrument this man is playing.
But I think above all I'm a fan of the American steel guitar. That wailing sound evokes nostalgia and melancholy like nothing else.
Cello and steel tongue drum
Steel tongue drum is so mystical to me. Amazing, relaxing sound.
Organ (powerful deep tones, not the high whistles)
French horn and glockenspiel.
I’m shocked no one else has said the horn. It was the first thing I thought of.
Found the Mike Oldfield
Listen to a lot of renaissance lute music. Very mellow.
Im a jethro tull fan and im not sure if that is why im partial to the flute or the other way round.
Yes!
Very bassy bamboo flutes
Love me a clarinet. Also a muted trumpet is pretty pleasing. I think though the most across the board genre neutral pleasing instrument timbre is the piano. It does it all.
Tuba.
Gotta have that sweet bass. Maybe some Flight if the Tuba Bee or Tuba Polka by Canadian Brass. Chef's kiss.
Fantasie impromptu
I don't know the name of the instrument but its the one playing the main melody in the credits of The Legend Of Korra. Brings tears to my eyes with how expressive it is.
Theremin is beautiful too when played well.
The Kalimba/Mbira, maybe? That's at the start, or did you mean the zhonghu?
What a nice track, thanks for mentioning it!
Get me a good Rhodes and I'm in bliss. A good horn section can squeeze a beautiful chord melody. And a bagpipe is what I send to my enemies.
Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Oboe, and Bassoon.
slide whistle
Zurna. Definitely Zurna.
Firstly, this assumes that "timbre" is a fancy word for "sound characteristics". I would definitely have troubled defining it.
Piano.
For me no contest.
Violin. Cello. Basically any stringed instrument played by rubbing a bow across the strings, actually.
Does that include electric guitar?
Do synth pads count?
Ur goddamn right they do :)
Marimba
Definitely the cello; especially when played like Zoe Keating.
