I really like the sound of a lot of old European folk instruments. The bowed lyre is one of my favorites. It has a deep and old sound.

This is a jewtube video of someone playing an old Swedish folk song on a bowed lyre. Sadly the video cuts off at the end.

Jayden Perez

David Wilson
The guzheng
Jace Sanders
This one is a goat horn, but really any sort of horn and large enough bone could be made into a flute.
Camden Diaz
The plucked psaltery gives a hypnotic fairy tale sort of sound. The girl in this link plays an old song from the Renaissance.
Samuel Perez
The arghul is an ancient egyptian instrument that dates bate to the pharaohs. It sort of sounds like bagpipes. It might not be what you expect to hear from an instrument from ancient egypt.
Tyler Cooper
Should I keep going or is no one in this thread?
This one is from india and is well known. The tabla are a commonly heard drum pair. They can get really complicated to play when you start speaking the bols while you play like in link related.
Owen Young

Landon Powell
Very well. I'll do a few more.
This is the opharion. It is an ancestor to the guitar from the Renaissance.
Jackson Young
This is the zurna. It's a Eurasian wind instrument. It is known for being loud and high pitched due to needing a lot of pressure to make sound come out.
Oliver Gomez
The domra is a guitar-like russian instrument. I'm posting it to show this video of a babushka playing one.
Brayden Murphy
Cave bear femur flute made by neanderthals
Joshua Davis
Fujara (an overtone flute from eastern Europe)
Oliver Green
Norway had the Langeleik. It's basically a zither that has an interesting sound. I like the song in link related and that's why I'm posting it.
Owen Hernandez
Sarangi. Bowed Indian instrument with sympathetic strings. Strings are stopped with the cuticle.
Dylan Jenkins
Hardanger fiddle. A northern European fiddle with sympathetic strings running under the fingerboard. Tuned in various fiddle cross tunings.
Jace Thompson
Clog fiddle. A fiddle made from a clog. Popularized in the first decade of the last century by the famous Swedish string trio, Källnatrion, this instrument used to be the poor man's alternative to the expensive and hard-to-get violin. Sounds a lot like a rebec and other early instruments predating the modern fiddle.
Jack White
It'a clearly the hurdy-gurdy.

I love the shehnei, anyone tried playing it?
I'm currently learning the turkish ney though, for a first flute instrument I'm finding the fingering extremely difficult, I love the sound though.
What's a good cheap zither/harp like instrument for a first buy?
Isaiah Evans
Came in to say this. The hurdy-gurdy is fucking boss
Gavin Sanders

Either mandolin or five string banjo. I don't wanna choose because I like 'em together.
Cooper Bell

Aiden Sullivan
Mandolin is an orchestral instrument with an entire WAM repertoire you pleb. Also, banjo is great.
Henry Foster
gamelan
Angel Phillips
? This thread is about folk instruments though.
Also they're shit in classical music, yes I've listened to baroque mandolin music.
Lincoln Nelson
For me, it's the guitarrón Chileno: intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor
Camden Rivera
How the fuck are you even supposed to fret those courses? 4 Strings per course? What?
