What are your favorite orchestral instruments, and why do you like them?

My faves are cello (always beautiful, especially during solos), violin (sounds most like the human voice, very emotive), and french horn which is so different from the other brass instruments. I also like oboe because it's the only woodwind that has the same "feel" as cello...to me, anyway.

    The best for me is piano. I used to play piano but I am far too poor for an orchestra. But piano seems to lead the flow of orchestra..I just thought. It's amazing when you see a pianist playing a grand piano while the rest are in the background. Violinists are amazing too! They can make you cry...really feel the music =)

    I like the flutes. It sound a bit playful and in the right hands, a bit melancholy.
