O_o You are going to have to be more clear on what time. I have a feeling most of those are more recordeded sounds played on a track or using a synthesizer. But if it is the whistling sound, it is most likely someone whistling. I know there is definitely a horn in here, though I can’t really say what horn. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a kazoo in there. You would have to wait for like Wyvern, or someone who is experienced in a lot of instruments to come answer.
HAHA! I can top you, Sir Fix. Let me introduce you to the Kazookeylele!!! A kazoo and piano attached to a ukelele, made by crous0. I think his best work is Bohemian Rhapsody. But his first work was The Final Countdown. I randomly stumbled upon this instrument earlier today when looking up some kazoo things. It is -awesome-.

That piano sounds more like a xylophone o_O

And from the same video poster:
Piano, Guitar, Violin and 2 Cellos: Libertango by Ensemble Memo
Though the latter feels like it could use a bit better mixing as the volumes of the instruments feel a bit unbalanced…
WAH! Luigi! You found my most favourite cover of “he’s a pirate”. Just to show how awesome Jarrod Radnich is, here is his cover of Hedwig’s Song
I would like to point out that he did an “invisible” version of that a while ago, but I think amongst the flames and the fact that the last part of the movies was released, he redid it.
I don’t know if the song’s actually orcestrated or not, but it makes me happy: the Phenac City theme, from Pokemon XD. You might not get the full effect without having played the game, but the part at 48 seconds really tickles me.
Also, here’s one that definately is orcestrated (unless the guy found a MIDI or something and decided to make it LOOK like he was playing for some reason): Wind Waker Unplugged. Seriously, unless he’s got a whole bunch of identical twins running around, who all happen to play their own intrument, this guy has a lot of talent.
And now for the part of the show where I list all the instruments I own: a keyboard, an upright piano, 3 different ocarinas (one I made myself in pottery class), a glockenspiel, a tremlo harmonica, a guiro, a kalimba, and at least one or two others that I’m forgetting to mention. Also, I don’t know how to play any of them.
Whaa! Why do you have all those instruments and not know how to play them!!! Haha, that Phenac City tune is funny. And wow at Wind Waker Unplugged, I totally love the accordion and the overworld theme. But zomg, so good.
Since we are back on Zelda songs… Well, here is the Song of Healing… on wine glasses.
And since I know you all love zelda music as much as I do, and creativity, well… Here is Sp0ntanius’ channel. There’s only 4 other videos, but trust me when I say you will not regret watching all of them.
I like this topic a lot … so much music to hear and experience. And why are there so many people on this forum (it seems) that have the interest in music? - it’s nice.
The channel Sp0ntanius is just like you say, haha. It sounds so great and the can be fun as in humour. I won’t right now, but later I will add some more music If I find some …
I think melodica was mentioned already, but it’s a perfect sound when played in the right way

invisible version?
Anyway, those guys are really amazing with their instruments…
Speaking of a capella there is a group called The Real Group that use their voice for all instruments etc. Hereis a video (dont mind the lyrics, I post it as an example for the beatboxing etc.)

Hmm, The Real Group has some good songs; shame most of the videos are crappy phonecamera recordings though
Another quite nice a capella group is the German “Wise Guys”.
Though most of their repertoire is in German, they also covered the English Mad World (covered by the Wise Guys)
I kinda prefer their German songs though, such as Denglisch & Schiller by the Wise Guys
Especially Denglish is funny, as they sing about how the English language is slowly taking over their native language. Schiller is funny because it is a parody of Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
They also have a song about Facebook.
My final suggestion would be Wise Guys - Radio since it has a heavier emphasis on providing backing vocals/instruments with their voices.
