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
Do synth pads count?
Violin. Cello. Basically any stringed instrument played by rubbing a bow across the strings, actually.
Handpan, just so mellow sounding.
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.
Organ (powerful deep tones, not the high whistles)
Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Oboe, and Bassoon.
Cello and steel tongue drum
Steel tongue drum is so mystical to me. Amazing, relaxing sound.
Very bassy bamboo flutes
Rhodes
Small self promo: check out my track, full of Rhodes:

Slut
Absolutely
Let my add a bit of love for the wurlitzer too :)
I like the cello a lot.
Firstly, this assumes that “timbre” is a fancy word for “sound characteristics”. I would definitely have troubled defining it.
Piano.
For me no contest.
Zurna. Definitely Zurna.
Bari sax
Gotta listen to some Morphine
Oboe.
Wow, you’re a monster! 😳
Church organ. The larger, the better.
…and playing Bach at almost deafening levels! I literally can (and will) sleep during a soundscape like this.
