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

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:

Slut
Absolutely
Church organ. The larger, the better.
…and playing Bach at almost deafening levels! I literally can (and will) sleep during a soundscape like this.
Oboe.
Wow, you’re a monster! 😳
A monster that loves the warm, woody sound of the oboe.
Bari sax
Gotta listen to some Morphine
Cello for me
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.
Handpan, just so mellow sounding.
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
Very bassy bamboo flutes
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!
