Vibraphone
Very cool too and vaguely consistent with my other picks. They're all metallic percussive keyboard type instruments involving mallets to some extent
Edit: Metallophones seem to be my sweet spot, in terms of instrument category

A singing saw, love the ghosty sound of it.
Only the scalpel gets through to me, because I don't believe in acupuncture.

The instrument I want to learn to play (but have no reason to do so) is the hammered dulcimer.
The instrument that most makes me perk up when I hear it in a song is the bass (or contrabass) saxophone.
Most instruments played well grips my heart and holds. But steelpan. People see it as something carnival something something, but it fits well for a surprisingly wide span of music! The power of the bass pans in death metal as much as the "synthiness" in a melody from some NES game, it fits!
A lot of my instrumentation works on LVDTs, and I think they are pretty neat anyway. Great for position sensing.
A mandolin.
Harpsichord. Almost forgot about that one. when Tori Amos breaks out the dual piano/harpsichord, great things happen.
Very close 2-3rd for me. I love how sharp and distinct its tone is.
I'm going with the Mellotron.
It's a keyboard that uses strings of tapes for each note. It pulls the tape over a head and plays that note until the tape runs out. When you're playing fast, sometimes the tape isn't all the way down, so it makes everything sound super custom.
Think Strawberry Fields by the Beatles. That's a Mellotron you're hearing.
Idk, compasses are quite cool and useful?
What do they do? Or is this a joke answer
They point north. Or create circles.
The Theremin and not just weird sci-fi/horror way of playing it. It can be a real instrument if it is played in a way that treats it as such.
It's simple, piano. It's funny, I've trying to learn this instrument since back when my late father bought one, yet I still can't play one.
As a musician the Monome Norns raspberry pi shield and lines community has been inspiring me a lot lately. It's a FOSS "sound computer" that can take on hundreds of uses.
Synth
For anyone looking to get into brass instruments, this is a great example of how a horn can be made to sing. It’s the first time I had ever heard someone put their soul into a horn.
To be clear, this isn’t something a novice can play. The notes he’s hitting are hard.
Rhodes Piano, hands down.
I'm a piano kind of guy myself.
Agree on music box. For me, it's also violins.
