I'd also like to add that I don't believe any particular instrument is in of itself capable of making us feel happy or sad. I can get just as emotional over a violin passage played on a synth, if played well enough, as I can about the real thing. I think it's more about a mood that's evoked. I could see there being certain guitar passages that would make me emotional ("Cavantina/The Deer Hunter" springs to mind) although it's almost 100% certain that no drummer could move me. Even a fretless bass could have an effect on me, but by the same token, that exact same passage played on say a trumpet or a clarinet might not.
