Mine’s a bit of a strange one…
Music box/celeste
🧚♂️
Cello. No idea why. Yo-Yo Ma slays me.
HE may play the cello but YOU the one that gets played ;)
For a bit of fun, find the YT of Sulek & Hauser “Welcome to the Jungle”
The oboe 🤌🏽💋
One of my more decent pieces has an oboe and a horn duet as the melody. The oboe is such a unique and beautiful sounding instrument that pairs well with many more softer instruments
Allegedly George Bernard Shaw said this about the oboe: “An ill wind that nobody blows good.”
Do synthesizers count?
Dont let anyone ever tell you
theyitthey don’t ;)
A trumpet properly played cuts directly to that bittersweet, blue part of my soul.
French horn, for sure. You’d be surprised at just how prevalent it is in music.
Electric guitar, preferably with heavy distortion. Louder := better.
No but seriously I love heavy music so much. It’s fun to listen to, fun to play, and it’s just had a positive impact on my life. If you want to really tug on my blackened heartstrings, you gotta do it through distortion, preferably an HM-2, in as low a tuning as your guitar can handle.
Hell yeah.
Yes everything about this, except downtuning is overrated imo
The sax
Begins to play Yakety Sax
Wait no, not like that.
The music video for Baker Street is like a 1970s time capsule
I played Alto in school, never really got into it. Then switched up to baritone, loved it.
Bari sax is best sax
I find the speculum to be excellent at letting me see deep inside myself. Instruments like ribcage spreaders are too infrequently used to count I think. A good seasonal look with the speculum could save you a lot of heartache.
OP didn’t say “musical”…
Oh man a nice cold speculum, nothing better
Bass is so fun
Pipe Organ. The only instrument with the versatility of an orchestra at your fingertips. It can make the room shake or fill it with quiet whispers.
Sadly, Churches are one of the few places, in the US at least, where you can hear the organ regularly. Ones that can afford to maintain such a large instrument and pay an organist.
I posted a similar response. There is a huge Casavant in KC at Helzberg Hall. I heard it when Dr Jan Kraybill was the conservator; may still be, and it was incredible. Worth a trip, and not a church.
I’d go to church if… Cory Henry played the organ.
Hammond organ played well really makes me feel warm to the core
There is a great Spotify playlist for the Hammond.
Link, please
Oh, this is great. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome
A Kora! It’s an African instrument that is considered a guitar harp, with 21 strings ranging from the size of bass guitar string to fishing wire. The way it is played allows you to play the bass, lead, and rhythm at the same time. Here is a short example of a master kora player Toumani Diabate showcasing the instrument: https://youtu.be/8luhdxS2KuM?si=llpa2YVyIOf77_Nd
As a guitarist I found this guy who transcribed Toumani’s work onto a classical guitar, very interesting listen https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=55QnOlXckOk
My other thing would be trippy out there instruments that seem to put you in a different state of mind like the Yaybahar or “The Beam” that the grateful dead likes to break out sometimes
Yaybahar example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_aY6TxC1ojA&pp=ygUWeWVoYWJhciBhdCBpbnN0cnVtZW50IA%3D%3D

Piano! Call me basic, I do not care! Versatile, beautiful, fun to play. I could talk for hours about it.
Spanish guitar.

The sitar originates from the Indian subcontinent my dude, not Iberia.
