Only 1 other lonely oboe supporter out there? And where is the cor anglais? I mean you've got didgeridoos. I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that Roy Wood is a killer bagpipes player. I saw him play them in Scotland, naturally.

The clarinet in the 1977 track Quietest Moments by the Tramp is just too beautiful. Plus, I'm missing the Melodica in the list.

Peter Gabriel also plays the flute but I think I prefer the other guys over him.

I enjoy hearing flutes in prog rock. Especially Jethro Tull, Camel, and early King Crimson. Rhayader or Supertwister(Andy Latimer) is my highlight for Camel, The Court of The Crimson King(Ian MacDonald) for King Crimson, and probably Bouree or My God(Ian Anderson) for Jethro Tull. It is too bad rock bands do not usually have flutes in their line up, I suppose they are not a heavy metal instrument.

Not that I voted for it, but I'm glad the crumhorn was included, and even has 2 votes so far. What an odd looking older instrument, with it's humorous kazoo sound. I thank Gryphon and Malicorne for showcasing it in their music.

Tubas. I much prefer them in the alternative version of 21st Century Schizoid Man.

Not to mention Dick Parry's stunning contributions to Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here.

I have to say I’m disappointed I’m still the only vote for clarinets! 😄
Nothing beats a bass clarinet, and clarinets in general are the best…. Trumpets and trombones are fantastic, too! |

I know I'm prone to do multiple votes polls quite often, but on this one I really wanted people to have to work: thus, the words of reasoning I'm seeing as you tease out your decisions!
I, too, would have voted for multiple categories--many of them! But forced myself to really come up with my most prized sounds (and songs). The magic of Jon Hassell, Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Wheeler, Lee Laughnane, Herb Alpert, Miles Davis, Chris Botti, Paol Fresu on Huong Thanh's "Cây Truc Xinh (Le bambou gracieux)", Henry Lowther on Alan White's "Darkness", make the trumpet family the most impactful for me, though the flute and oboe families may be my favorites. I also LOVE me some baroque/"mediæval" recorder play and clarinets, bassoons, and all Middle Eastern/Indian, Asian woodwinds. I think it fair to say that you could probably take out the guitars in lieu of winds and I'd be a happy camper. |

Like me, this is a terribly difficult poll to choose only one. Also, my tastes are pretty similar to yours. (One of my daughters played euphonium growing up--her choice!--and the another played oboe and, later, saxophones.) (The other two: cello & piano, and double bass.) Like I said, though, cor anglais: heavenly…. |

The occasional KC appearance, too. Also, anything with Wayne Shorter (obviously).

I voted for bagpipes. But honestly, it all depends on the music and the performer.

Sax just a little bit ahead of flute. Both are great, though. I'm also a big fan of clarinet.
Want to acknowledge that I've heard some great use of brass in a few albums that helped open my ears to their effectiveness in prog settings: French Horn: Maxophone - s/t Trumpet: King Crimson - Red (Fallen Angel) Trombone: Becoming the Archetype - Celestial Completion (Cardiac Rebellion) |

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.
