Not my favorite instrument, but castanets/acoustic guitars are seriously underrated
Flamenco battle themes are the best

Cello has my favorite timbre but I played clarinet in high school so I'll say that's my favorite instrument
I'm sure I've heard some songs use a clarinet in vidya but I can't recall any off the top of my head
Gavin Evans
I really like woodwind instruments, especially the deeper ones. I think the Monkey Island series used them really well:

>the Wild Arms track
I've never played that game but that is a very nice piece of music.

I'm a sucker for strong percussion.

"The dream of flight" should be "Il sogno del volo"; "Sogno di volare" means "I dream of flying".

I absolutely adore this, it really have this feeling of resignation, which fits perfectly for the world of dark souls.
>KH aquas theme

remembers quite a lot to roxas imho and have this sadness in it, which fits exactly to her
not orchestral

Both have a great sense of loneliness and horror.
Also not vidya related but this:

Fuck man this song has so many emotions, literally beginning slowly, the part where you can have fun, then the end part where the fun becomes chaotic and sad.

Adrian Bennett
>King of Fighters
All those Arashi no Saxophone tracks are pretty top notch.
Ian Williams

I don't know what instrument it is but it's at 3:25. Yuki Kajiura uses it a lot.
Levi Moore
I play clarinet as well and the only vidya song I know off the top of my head that uses a clarinet is this at around 30 secs
Jonathan Phillips
I love the harp but i don't know any soundtracks that use it largely. I must be playing the wrong kind of games
Isaiah Evans
TROMBONE ANYONE?
BLASTS AND SLURS
Gabriel Perez
Just add the whole strings and brass section together.
Evan Cooper
That's a violin doing it's best to sound like a bagpipe I think
Jason Cox
Some fantasy games use the harp. Can't think of any atm but that's the genre it'd be in
Colton Morris
>Flamenco battle themes are the best
You my guy
Dominic Barnes
Easy vidya piano tracks to learn?
Isaiah Howard
I don't care much about the game but the only song ever to feature a jew harp and a hurdy gurdy. Find me another song with just one of those and I'd be a happy man.
Dominic Clark
>I don't know what instrument it is
>Yuki Kajiura
She only uses 4 instruments total for everything.
Austin King
Liam Mitchell
Dunno what those instruments sound like but if one of them does the twong sound then here you go

Justin Morris
Yeah the twangs are the jew harp. The melody of the song I posted is an accordion and the long drawn low windy sound is a hurdy gurdy.
Brayden Thompson
>I love the harp but i don't know any soundtracks that use it largely.
Harps usually get lost in a large orchestra. As you can see from this song that uses it a lot. Orchestras also can have the strings simulate a harp with plucking (as this song also shows).
Bentley Lewis
>google jew harp
>it's real
wtf
Jack Green
I really like the plucking sound that starts at 0:57. I have no idea if it's some exotic instrument or if it's just the way it's being played:

Just sounds like synth. Using a combination of toy piano and steel drums with a reverb effect.
Thomas Russell
>that first track
Aiden Turner
It was originally called a jew harp because only a jew would pay for one string. It's now called a mouth harp if you're a faggot.
Easton Ross
Not the base layer of the track, I mean the thing that starts a minute in, surely that's not a synthetic sound?
Hunter Rodriguez
Sounds like computer generated harp.
Jackson Stewart
I was talking about the part that starts at 0:57. It sounds like synth to me.

For a game that pretty much nobody knows the half minute series has some solid music

If that's the case then I'm impressed, it sounds way more inconsistent and imperfect than I ever would have guessed from a synth.
