Pipe (church) organ for me.  It's just so emotional and powerful, witness Awaken for starters.

I like the harp too, it's a beautiful instrument although it's not that frequent in prog.

I'm a bass player and I looove playin' it, but when it comes to listening to music, the instrument that gives me more emotions is the piano.
 
Flute and bass are tied in second place.

Mellotron.. It shook me as a child before I even knew what it was! I sometimes here songs my father listened to that I also liked and some of them have the classic warm mellotron sound. I was distined to be in love with this strange keyinstrument! I myself ply guitar, drums and keys and ofcourse I like these instruments too, especially the guitar. Futhermore I've been searching for an old '70 senthisizor, which I think is pretty nice.

I'm tempted to say that I just can't get enough of those cowbells, but it's really not true.
As a guitar player, I love the sound of the acoustic, but I decided to vote for something else: the oud.  I'm surprised to see it listed here, as I'm not familiar with any progger in particular playing it, but I love the mellow sound of it.  For those who don't know, it's the precurser to the lute.  Didgeridoo is my runner up here.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Partly because of the fact that I play it but also partly because I think it's an incredibly expressive instrument and incredibly important to music, I chose electric bass. I would have chosen upright in an instant though, if it were on the poll.

I don't if I have a favorite, but I am a huge sucker for a Fender Rhodes.

Let me be among the first to publically embrace the electric six-string. Power, emotion, drive - it's got the lot.

It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

Piano. It is the quintessential instrument, it's used in all types of music, and it sounds damn good when played well.

My vote is for the acoustic guitar.

Bassoon. Would have said drums, but snare drum alone isn't awesome enough.

I have always been a fan of the electric bass.It is an incredibly versatile instrument, and, when effectively used, it adds a lot of interest to any musical composition.
