Agree on music box. For me, it's also violins.
Harpsichord. Below the streets of St Paul in (that) London.
If you know, you know.
Ukulele. It's so easy to play, C is just one string! And they're small enough to take in your carry on if you travel. I own 5...
Synth
My oma played a zither so I give that a mention for another thing I’ve not heard in nearly 30 years.
But, my serious go to for relaxation is the erhu. I’m surprised that hasn’t had a mention.
Uilleann Pipes
As heard on Bryan Adams, When You Love Someone.
Synth.
Fight me.
Hard for me to choose just one. I love these three instruments because they are so peaceful and calm. Though people do use them to do covers of heavier music as well.
The Guzheng is a 21-26 string zither instrument. I love Zithers in general. There are many types from different countries.
The Guquin is a 7 string instrument.
The Erhu is a 2 string instrument. Part of the huquin instrument family.
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.
I have three.
Piano -> Violin -> Cello
Cello for me. Hnnnggg
