Piano. Supertramp, "From Now On".

And the sax in that tune is pretty great also.

Accordion, dammit Accordion!

Ugh looooove me some sitar.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Classical guitar, here's Nocturne by Chopin.

[–] psilotop@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Drums - pretty much any single by Street Drum Corp

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

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

Native American flute.

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

[–] lautre@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago

I really like the duduk.

The most well known piece is probably the gladiator music.

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.

Bamboo flute!

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Harpsichord. Its just such a nice and unique timbre

[–] Appleseuss@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Vibraphone and marimba

Very close, steel drum

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

[–] RealSpiderLane@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

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.

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