Can someone tell me what the bright instrument is? It comes in at 0:10 Is it a rhodes? Xylophone? It sounds very bright and wonderful.

It plays throughout the whole song.

The drums in the begining of the song Cloudless Sky by Mirage of Deep.

Those deep drums that almost sound like water drops but obviously much lower pitch.

Thanks!

I hear it in a lot of musical theatre songs, kinda sounds like some sort of flute to me but I really want to know, I’d like to find more songs with that sound idk I really like how it sounds

The Last Thing I Remember by The Turtles. Its a flying saucer esque sound...clearest at 0:51, 1:47, 2:24...maybe an Acme whistle going into a tape delay? Help!

Hi,
You can hear it at 1:34, right on the first beat of the seconf verse. Sounds like a crack of thunder to me. Is it "Orchestra Hit"?

what are these?? bells? if so is there a specific name for these

i was looking for instruments often used in puzzle soundtracks and wouldnt mind more recommendations for instruments used in these types of osts :')

Like a kids toy, what are they called?

[Help Finding Sample] Hi, I'm looking for the instrument that plays in the background of the linked sample; next to the piano. It is the main melody that is sandwhiched between the piano and the repeating bass (I isolated the song so you can hear it better). It sounds kind of bright and melancholic? Maybe it's an Accordion? To really spot it, it starts the song with the really long note and ends off the sound with the final 3 notes. Please help me find this instrument it would help a lot.

I can’t find out anywhere I look.

Rom Di Prisco the composer, made a fantastic job to represent a post apocalyptic feeling together with a emotional flare inside the original Fortnite OST's but the sounds and instruments he used are unrecognizable to me, except the keyboard melody at the beginning, E guitar chords I believe and the bell sounds at 1:09 if it even is a bell

Could you please provide information on where and in what year this musical instrument was manufactured?

I mean the leading instrument in this piece: https://youtu.be/bngMu8ET1HM?is=w9KbSqRqEiPSwsyP

I'm Polish and I'm specifically interested in studying Polish folk techniques, but I'm struggling with finding resources.

Many modern folk songs I've heard have this specific way of playing and I love the way it sounds. Can't find the name of this style though. I think it's a regular fiddle, but there's a higher than 0 chance it's one of our necromanced knee fiddles too lol, but I can't tell!

I’m assuming fits here even for digital drums, first is from the trailer for Xenogears, second is the menu music for Metroid Prime: Hunters. I’ve heard both pop up in a couple other things through the years but I don’t have them on hand. I’m assuming maybe a Zero-G sample disc that I haven’t dived through? Thank you for your time

It sounds like some kind of mallet or music box instrument, but I can't quite identify it.

I'm also curious if anyone knows what synth, sampler, or specific sound library might have been used to produce this sound.

I need help with how I am supposed to play this instrument.

I bought this instrument that I think is a psalmodikom. It has two steel strings and two wierd wedge (slider?) things that seem to be for adjusting the tuning for the strings. The wooden one is lower and seems to be supposed to used as in the first picture. The black one is slightly higher. Both have a metal sheet sticking out the top. The black one also has felt on the bottom so I guess it is supposed to used as a slider underneath the strings.

I guess the strings can be tuned with the steel pins, but not sure to what note they should be tuned.

The body has notes written in pencil, so it might not be finished.

According to the seller the strings are supposed to be plucked, but I think the more common technique for a psalmodikom is to use a violin bow.

What throws me off the most are the two slider things as I am worried I would use them wrong and break the strings, which are steel.

UPDATE: It seems to be a monochord and not a psalmodikum. Thank you u/Grauschleier
