We all love Touhou songs right? (maybe left)
But I was wondering what instruments were used to make one beautiful piece of music composed by the Honourable ZUN.
I'm gonna ask first. If this is a chain of asking and answering then I prefer each to ask only one at a time. Like the What if... topic.
PCB and EoSD stage 1 theme,
PoFV Cirno's theme,
Charming Domination ~ Who done it? (PCB)
-
Well I know in the two versions Charming Domination that for the Yukari version of the song (and for Necrofantasia) the primary ZUNpets were swapped out for harpsichords.
-
So, the standard trumpet is much more different than the ZUNpets? If yes, then is it that rare? Because I want to buy one.
And, does Youkai Mountain ~ Mysterious Mountain uses a flute or blowing musical instrument?
-
OP, these tracks have over 5 instruments... be more specific. Is the instrument playing the lead melody? When does it start playing?

What you're hearing is a synth stack. A harpsichord sounds like this (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28494360/ShareX/2015/10/harpsi.mp3). There's not a single harpsichord in either of those tracks.

The ZUNpet is a set of samples (recordings) of a common trumpet being played with mariachi-style vibrato. These samples are resynthesized and played by a hardware synthesizer.
This video shows the difference between "normal" trumpet vibrato and mariachi-style vibrato: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzlTlPTGeAw
Let's just say... you'll have a lot of trouble trying to make your trumpet playing sound like a ZUNpet in real life.

It's bottle blowing.

I have a bunch of bookmarks of instrument lists, but my browser keeps crashing on me when I'm trying to paste them in, so I'll post them up later.
Edit: http://www12.atwiki.jp/touhousoundfont/pages/17.html
the site above has a list of instruments by game by song. Every song from EoSD to LoLK, including CDs.

edit: It's like talking to a brick wall.

Ah, synth stack. I just did not know how else to describe it since I had no idea how it was made or what was sampled.

I just can't see how you'd possibly identify it as a harpsichord. :'P
If I remember correctly, some of the SA OST had harpsichords in it as backing instruments.

I'm positive that it was used in Heartfelt Fancy.

I think my favorite instrument of ZUN's has to be the violin he used in UFO. (https://youtu.be/B8ehKblhOfg?t=86)

That's Reed Romance, not a violin. It's just a really low pitch.
-
he does use St.Strings as backing there though (and in many others), that's kinda violin-y

I heard that many disliked ZUN's electric guitar. I hate saying 'hate' because,
ZUN IZ LAP AND ZUN IZ LAIF... Pichuun~
