Mine’s a bit of a strange one…
Music box/celeste
🧚♂️
I have three.
Piano -> Violin -> Cello
Isnt there an instrument called violincello or something?
The technical name of the cello, yes, I think so…
Haha I forgot about that, I was never into the strings section
Violoncello is the proper full name of the Cello! They’re the same thing.
That’s just the full “official” name for the cello.
I’ve been at least quadrully chastised 🤣
Cello is a shortened version of violoncello.
Cello for me. Hnnnggg
Accordion… I love the sound of it, especially the Italian ones with chambers.
Accordion is an unusual choice, but in Karla Bonoff’s “Water is Wide” the accordion is essential and beautiful. James Taylor sings back up.
Harpsichord. Below the streets of St Paul in (that) London.
If you know, you know.
Spanish guitar.

The sitar originates from the Indian subcontinent my dude, not Iberia.
Pedal Steel. First time I saw one played live was at a Bright Eyes show when I was in high school. I know they’ve been around for a long time and are prominent in country music, but watching and hearing it played in person just blew me away. I feel like the instrument conveys so much emotion in its sound
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
Synth
A lot of my instrumentation works on LVDTs, and I think they are pretty neat anyway. Great for position sensing.
If it’s got strings, it’s good. This includes piano.
Vibraphone
Very cool too and vaguely consistent with my other picks. They’re all metallic percussive keyboard type instruments involving mallets to some extent
Edit: Metallophones seem to be my sweet spot, in terms of instrument category
Would also accept calliope if I’m feeling quaint ;)
Perhaps a carillon may suite you?
Wahhh, I have so much stuff to look up lol 😭
Bagpipes. One of the few instruments that can both make you cry and make you want to charge into battle.
One of my favourite Arrested Development lines is this “And, like all bagpipe music, it was hard to tell if it was good music played horribly, or horrible music played well.” :-)
Seriously though, it can sound mighty impressive when done right - living in Edinburgh though, I could do without the street corner pipers belting out Don’t Stop Believing and the like!
Wish I could upvote this 10000x
Do synthesizers count?
Dont let anyone ever tell you
theyitthey don’t ;)
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”
Harpsichord. Almost forgot about that one. when Tori Amos breaks out the dual piano/harpsichord, great things happen.
Very close 2-3rd for me. I love how sharp and distinct its tone is.
