Cello (In Freedom - Anekdoten is AWESOME), vibes (In Freedom - Anekdoten..), violin (especially with glissando), timpanis, piano. I'm not into brass at all sadly.

I always love piano and church organ for the right moments in certain songs (such as Repent Walpurgis from Procul Harum, and Close to the Edge from Yes for organ, and various other songs such as Love Reign O'er Me by The Who for piano.  Piano is unlimited though).  I also love full orchestras but if I had to pick out one specific instrument from an orchestra it would have to be Cello.  The cello lead in the Exogenesis Symphony from the new Muse album "The Resistance" is spectacular.

Choirs of the Eye has some excellent clarinet. I haven't checked earlier pages so I don't know if it's been mentioned or not.

There's Cornet on Red, but no Clarinet. You might be mistaking the oboe for clarinet.

I think that any musical instrument can be put to good creative use, but I'm particularly fond of the flute, followed by the violin.  Needless to say I'm a big fan of Jethro Tull, and if you like a strong violin presence I can recommend Ankh's same titled album.  A couple of bands whose expert playing of classical or traditional instruments are Omnia, a celtic folk band from the Netherlands whose members play didgeridoo, slideridoo, harp, hurdy-gurdy, piano, bodhrán, guitar, mandolin, violin, and banjo!  Also the Canadian folk rock band The McDades are pretty good.  The latter two bands mentioned are not on this site but do have progressive elements and are worth a listen!

For me it'll probably have to be flute, harpsichord, clarinet, oboe, recorder, timpani and a violin. Some of my fav prog bands use those instruments ex: King Crimson, Yes, Genesis Smile

Church organ is awesome, and I have a soft spot for folk  instruments like bouzouki, hurdy gurdy. And harpsichord.

Piano, Flute, and Acoustic Guitar.Big smile

Sometimes oboe when it's used correctly, and saxophone is excellent in jazz rock music.

I've heard (sometimes) clarinet in Banco's music

Personaly, the more prog has different instruments, better it is (usually)

to choose somes, I will say Oboe and Cello

There's plenty of 'em. Maxophone's french horn. King Crimson's Red's cello break. All of Chris Squire's Fish Out of Water. Then there's Jimmy Hasting's flute solo from "Fish... ." Last but not least are the delightful tones of Mr. Anderson's soprano and "sopranino" saxes from Tull's masterpiece, "Passion Play."

I'd be interested to hear this; seems like there should be a Decemberists song or two with a clarinet in it. Them lads love to play anything pre-trad jazz. 



I didn't have the chance to get a good listen at Kayo Dot's albums, but they did have a clarinet player at the concert I've been.
