Piano. Chopin, especially Raindrop.
If I said guitar, I'd point you to this song, which is actually a piano song performed on guitar. Lately this is the song that makes me feel things.
I really like the duduk.

The most well known piece is probably the gladiator music.
Yamaha DX7
I love the theremin! This is one of my favorite duets.
Oh wow, I don't think I've seen one played for real before! This is cool, thanks for sharing
Bassoon or oboe... Maybe it's the double reed?
El Camino Real by Alfred Reed has a nice oboe solo.
Stylophone is very nice. The abrasive overtones are an acquired taste, but I've acquired it. It has a nice, rounded sound while not being generic like a sine wave.
Love me a steel drum. No other instrument can instantly transport you to a beach
Same with me. They just embody relaxation and good times. Makes me smile when I hear steel drums.
I love a lot of different instruments, but I fell in love with the Erhu after ATLA. Second to that, the orchestral strings like the violin, viola, cello, etc. Scores from Halo and Elder Scrolls franchises.
Finally, the collective vocal cords of choirs.
Violin! Especially when they are used to imitate the sound of wind. My current fav examples of this: https://youtu.be/U0TXIXTzJEY https://youtu.be/NqAOGduIFbg
Piano.
I appreciate a good bagpipe. Especially when they share a lot of tonal similarities with violins like this nightwish instrumental. https://youtu.be/yOxGlXmPusI
