Yes, and each instrument has a voice of its own.
I very much agree. It's their diversity which really sparks my passion for music - the sky is the limit when they're put together.
But every instrument is beautiful on its own; a flute solo can be just as beautiful as a grand classical piece.
If I am to pick a few favourites, it must definitely be piano, oboe, contratenor singer and bariton singer (I'm a bariton). All of these instruments have this softness that really goes straight into my heart. It can also be very powerful (for example:

The absolute worst sounds I've ever heard must be a Clarinet on its 2nd octave and up. And soprano singers - I don't care if you're good at it, but my ears hurt when I listen to you >:
Then again, Tarja Turunen (my favourite singer) is a soprano trained in classical singing, but she's... different, somehow - her voice is divine and I've never heard a softer soprano voice in all my life.
Does that make me a hypocrite?
But now I'm going off topic D: Sorry!
