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
Listen to a lot of renaissance lute music. Very mellow.
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.

Rhodes
Let my add a bit of love for the wurlitzer too :)
Small self promo: check out my track, full of Rhodes:
Listen to ®hodes & (B)reaks All Day by Thassodar on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/Sv3eVCzKrT0SpdFXmd
Slut
Bari sax
Gotta listen to some Morphine
I like the cello a lot.
Cello and steel tongue drum
Steel tongue drum is so mystical to me. Amazing, relaxing sound.
Very bassy bamboo flutes
Handpan, just so mellow sounding.
Organ (powerful deep tones, not the high whistles)
Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Oboe, and Bassoon.
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.
Zurna. Definitely Zurna.
Violin. Cello. Basically any stringed instrument played by rubbing a bow across the strings, actually.
Does that include electric guitar?
Love me a clarinet. Also a muted trumpet is pretty pleasing. I think though the most across the board genre neutral pleasing instrument timbre is the piano. It does it all.
