Yo-Yo Ma? You need some to listen to some real cellists there .

I was very nearly a conservatory student studying cello performance, so I suppose I'll rank that as 1. My secondary instrument is the bassoon, so I'll call that number 2. Classical piano comes in at number 3.

I love listening to rock music, but I never found guitar, bass guitar, or drums to have any sort of great instrumental qualities to them.

Also, I seem to remember this thread existing a month or so ago. Hmm.... Ah, yes, here it is. It would seem my tastes haven't changed much in the last month http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/79460/favorite-and-most-hated-instruments/75#post_6905594

Oooh, that will have to be something brass.

It don't have to be trumpet, but for some reason solo cornettists, euphoniumists etc. are rather rare

I guess picking a favorite instrument isn't far enough down the rabbit hole for me. I like technique and personal characteristics from the artists. It's like tube rolling, but for performers.

Rhodes Piano

Guitar

Organ (Organs that are jazz/rock sounding like the organs used in The Doors)

1) Banjo

2) Mandolin

3) Vox Continental

I love stringed instruments, particularly violin, guitar, and cello.  Old Hammond organs sound cool too.

Mellotron--I'm obsessed with them.

That said, almost every instrument can have its moments. I even caught myself liking the steel pedal guitar used on several Yes albums, even though I normally don't much care for that instrument.

1. Acoustic and bass guitar

2. Female Vocals

3. Strings

• Drums
• Piano
• Vocals
• Guitar
• Bass

1. David Gilmour

2. Pipe Organ

3. Symphony Orchestra

The pipe organ is pretty darn cool as an instrument.  So is a symphony orchestra.

1. Erhu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWoj_Xt8k0A)

2. Piano
