    Bonus points for a song that has a good part for that instrument.

    Drums in music. I always zero in on the percussion patterns.

        Oboe. Anything from the Dream Academy albums would qualify. It has a nice pure sound almost like a vocal.

        In second place would be the sitar, or the Hammond Organ if someone is rockin out. The Peddlers, or Fanny would be good examples of excellent Hammond.

          IDK why, but the hurdy gurdy has a pretty alluring sound, in my opinion. So I'm probably going with either that or acoustic guitar.

          Edit:

          I really like this song using hurdy gurdy because to me it kinda sounds like a soundtrack piece for some prison action film.

                  Piano or Violin for solo instruments, but I love a good concerto or symphony.

                    Oboe was my choice as well.

                        Pro musician here.

                        There are so many, but a hurdy gurdy has gotta be up there. Played by someone who knows more than the basics, it sounds like something a medieval king would demand played to relax.

                        (They’re also among the most expensive instruments out there, as the only makers today are extremely talented individual ones; no big company like Fender or anything makes them. If you see one, you know it was handmade by a master.)

                        I also love the sound of the Crwth. It’s from Wales, and is sort of like a regional spinoff/precursor to the violin.
