This question is prompted by @LC75LC71 ...

Of all the instruments in a classic orchestra, which one is your favorite?

The picture shows the typical instruments, but there are others, like an ocarina, harmonica, guitar, as well as others

The piano 🎹

This is a song from the early 70's titled Don't Cry My Lady Love by Quicksilver.
It's a soft rock band but the piano is amazing in this song.

Thank you for the MHO 🙂🧡

I've been playing the piano for as long as I can remember, so my opinion is biassed.

[KostasKouvalis]

Ah ORCHESTRA? Okay. Violin, because you can play rock and metal with it and it's a high BPM instrument, so as a rock/metal fan, it's easy for me to enjoy violin music.

[OlderAndWiser]

I play piano and percussion instruments, so of course I gravitate to them, but my next favorite is the French Horn. The timbre of the sound is always soothing to me.

Mine is the cello, easily 🎻

I love how it sits right between the deep power of the double bass and the singing quality of the violin. It can sound warm, melancholic, romantic, or dark, sometimes all in the same piece. In movie scores and anime soundtracks, the emotional themes on cello always hit me the hardest.

The one pictured would be harp but in real life a set of drums

[Tarifa]

The viola, it's slightly bigger than a violin. The sound is deeper and gives a nice contrast to the group of violin players, which is always the largest group.

[LC75LC71]

I prompted this? Kool kool. Harpsichord. Well after lead and bass guitars.

[msc545]

The guitar, the saxophone, and the pedal steel guitar.

[purplepoppy]

Triple harp, it's the only one I can play.

[NathanDavis]

it will always be the cello...

[Cidknee]

All of them playing together.

[V4valiant]

I guess I'll say saxophone
