What's your favorite instrument that really gets through to you?
Mine’s a bit of a strange one…
Music box/celeste

NeoNachtwaechter, (edited ) Only the scalpel gets through to me, because I don’t believe in acupuncture.
:-)
HootinNHollerin, Handpan
Umbraveil, I’m more partial to the sustain on the RAV, but could lose myself in either.

The instrument I want to learn to play (but have no reason to do so) is the hammered dulcimer.
The instrument that most makes me perk up when I hear it in a song is the bass (or contrabass) saxophone.
burliman, Spanish guitar.

hips_and_nips, The sitar originates from the Indian subcontinent my dude, not Iberia.
klemptor, The sitar!
moonsnotreal, 
Bass is so fun
Buffalobuffalo, 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.
Golfnbrew, OP didn’t say “musical”…
klemptor, Oh man a nice cold speculum, nothing better
SkybreakerEngineer, A lot of my instrumentation works on LVDTs, and I think they are pretty neat anyway. Great for position sensing.
scytale, The warm tone of an EP, mostly used in jazz and fusion. Second would be a distorted synth lead, like Derek Sherinian’s signature lead sound.
Chetzemoka, Harpsichord. Almost forgot about that one. when Tori Amos breaks out the dual piano/harpsichord, great things happen.
cheese_greater, Very close 2-3rd for me. I love how sharp and distinct its tone is.
cheese_greater, Would also accept calliope if I’m feeling quaint ;)
Hobart_the_GoKart, Perhaps a carillon may suite you?
cheese_greater, Wahhh, I have so much stuff to look up lol 😭
Kolanaki, 
If it’s got strings, it’s good. This includes piano.
dependencyinjection, I have three.
Piano -> Violin -> Cello
cheese_greater, Isnt there an instrument called violincello or something?
Golfnbrew, The technical name of the cello, yes, I think so…
cheese_greater, Haha I forgot about that, I was never into the strings section
Aliendelarge, Cello is a shortened version of violoncello.
PixxlMan, Violoncello is the proper full name of the Cello! They’re the same thing.
julianh, That’s just the full “official” name for the cello.
cheese_greater, I’ve been at least quadrully chastised 🤣
urquell, Cello for me. Hnnnggg
ad_on_is, 
Accordion… I love the sound of it, especially the Italian ones with chambers.
Golfnbrew, Accordion is an unusual choice, but in Karla Bonoff’s “Water is Wide” the accordion is essential and beautiful. James Taylor sings back up.
shinigamiookamiryuu, I can play this one and doing so has always felt pleasant.
cheese_greater, Can you give the name in the comment, kinda hard to peruse when its a link you gotta follow to find out :)
shinigamiookamiryuu, The glass harmonica
cheese_greater, Omg, actually a fave of mine too i totally forgot about!
shinigamiookamiryuu, We had to learn how to play an instrument in school and everything else seemed mundane.
cheese_greater, I love the wine-glass array version of this :)
