Bonus points for a song that has a good part for that instrument.

Piano or Violin for solo instruments, but I love a good concerto or symphony.

Electric guitar.
Not a single instrument, but I love a horn section, too.
Dual-rectified electric guitar.
Pro musician here.
There are so many, but a hurdy gurdy has gotta be up there. Played by someone who knows more than the basics, it sounds like something a medieval king would demand played to relax.
(They’re also among the most expensive instruments out there, as the only makers today are extremely talented individual ones; no big company like Fender or anything makes them. If you see one, you know it was handmade by a master.)
I also love the sound of the Crwth. It’s from Wales, and is sort of like a regional spinoff/precursor to the violin.
Vibraphone and marimba
Very close, steel drum
IDK why, but the hurdy gurdy has a pretty alluring sound, in my opinion. So I’m probably going with either that or acoustic guitar.
Edit:
I really like this song using hurdy gurdy because to me it kinda sounds like a soundtrack piece for some prison action film.
I am also a fan of the hurdy gurdy. Here’s my entry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypuaJLHK_LQ
Damn! That hit hard! Thank you for that one.
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.
Drums in music. I always zero in on the percussion patterns.
Here’s one I enjoy a lot.
I also recommend checking that whole album out. It’s great.
This song is awesome, thanks.
Like as the main or only instrument in a song? Probably Spanish guitar. See “Vamo Alla Flamenco” from Final Fantasy 9. I wanna say Diablo 2 had a good Spanish guitar track too, but no idea what it’s called.
I love a good piano piece.
One of my favorites: https://youtu.be/zucBfXpCA6s
Yamaha DX7
Bassoon or oboe… Maybe it’s the double reed?
El Camino Real by Alfred Reed has a nice oboe solo.
The Cello, loved it so much that I started learning to play it at around 30.
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
