What instruments are super resonant and do that thing where they surround you with sound?

I'm thinking things like harp and marimba

You can really feel the waves of sound

Cathedral pipe organ. Pull all the stops.

This is the answer. The entire cathedral is part of the instrument!

A good handpan in a quiet room will, especially stainless steel ones.

Glasses filled with water you rub the rims of. Literally make sound through resonance.

Also just trying to hum/sing at the same pitch of an instrument or another person singing/humming will produce this effect. That's how I know I'm singing in the right key; you'll feel the resonant harmonics in your whole body. And it feels awesome! 😃

Double bass. Electric guitar.

You can make a bass drum very resonant, but most drummers keep a kit bass fairly staccato. Especially with a double bass. Otherwise you’re going to sound like you’re doing a roll on a timpani.

I've usually seen "double bass" used to refer to the string instrument, also called the contrabass, upright bass, or just a bass.

Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 331d

True. I assumed they meant the drum since electric guitars tend to accompany drum sets with double bass.

littleomid@feddit.org · 1 pts · 330d

Yep I meant double bass as instrument and not as technique.

African drums.

It's a pretty vague description, but it reminds me of a handpan drum, or vibraphone.

Anything can rattle your bones when in played loud enough, but if you're looking for a way to create the kind of sound that fills the room without being loud, try adding chorus, reverb and stereo delays.

I was playing around with such the other day, in making an effect chain that would catch the tail of a reverb and then amplify it into an endless delay loop where the entire sound is made from the effect of something that doesn't exist anymore.

Electric guitar into a full stack.

Sitar and hurdy-gurdy both use drones to get this quality.

This is primarily keyboards/synths but when I think of resonance, this is wonderful. Crank it up.

I mean, it's really a matter of the quality of the instrument, and even moreso, of the talent and ability of the person playing it - that will make much more of a difference than the kind of instrument (set aside certain instruments like the triangle).

Any instrument that has a lot of reverb will make you feel it all around you. For a joke-y answer (but not really because it's true), Meshuggah's live mix is so heavy yet crystal clear that you not only hear their music, you can also feel it in your bones.
