Harp
Especially in the lower range
Vibraphone
Same
Theramin
Absolutely gorgeous in its own wobbley way. There is something profoundly soothing about this thing that I cant really explain but its otherworldy, almost utopic and chronotopic
Glass Marimba
Soft mallets
Bass Marimba
Extrapolating here but I cant see how it wouldn’t
Rhodes
Let my add a bit of love for the wurlitzer too :)
Small self promo: check out my track, full of Rhodes:

slide whistle
Tuba.
Gotta have that sweet bass. Maybe some Flight if the Tuba Bee or Tuba Polka by Canadian Brass. Chef’s kiss.
Fantasie impromptu
Firstly, this assumes that “timbre” is a fancy word for “sound characteristics”. I would definitely have troubled defining it.
Piano.
For me no contest.
Cello and steel tongue drum
Steel tongue drum is so mystical to me. Amazing, relaxing sound.
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.
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!
Do synth pads count?
Ur goddamn right they do :)
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.
Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Oboe, and Bassoon.

Zurna. Definitely Zurna.
Im a jethro tull fan and im not sure if that is why im partial to the flute or the other way round.
Yes!
Listen to a lot of renaissance lute music. Very mellow.
