If you don't mind a little post-punk art-rock kick to your Beefheart, I'd like to add the british band Blurt to the previous recommendations:

Also recommending Pere Ubu and any other David Thomas side project:

I recently discovered an instrument, the Viol(a Da Gamba), and have fallen completely in love with it. Would anyone like to throw some recommendations my way for music featuring this amazing instrument?

Just check anything by Jordi Savall, he's the current master.

Can anyone help the musically challenged?

What is the second instrument that comes into play in this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH3ruuml-R4

I'm guessing its an Organ but I'm not really sure. Also any other songs you can recommend that makes good use of that sound would be amazing. I don't know why but I love that sound.

The recent song that I immediately thought of was this, Justin Townes Earle's "Harlem River Blues:

What is some stuff that sounds similar instrumentally to Bill Fay's 70s records?

I'd say the first four Scott Walker records are probably the closest to what you are looking for, but I'd also go for some Colin Blunstone, Roy Harper's great "Stormcock" or Townes Van Zandt's more ornate 70's records, but I'd recommend anything by Townes because he's just the best.

I've been listening to a lot of Ryuichi Sakamoto the last few days, especially his "1996" album that includes "Rain" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tKfYwc4zxA (just wow), and of course the "Arriving at fort Kiowa" song from The Revenant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0uFzRx7bV0

I mean, I could live and die by that song on repeat. It is so full of depth.

Is there any other music out there with such deep, rich, and amazing violin/chello work like that?

Have you given Max Richter a try?

Maybe you'd like something like Gidon Kremer playing Piazzola too.

Looking for more stuff like Townes Van Zandt. Hopefully more on the folk side than the country side, but I'm open. Looking for just acoustic guitar and a person, less someone with a full band (though if it really fits, throw it at me and I'll check it out even with a band)
Bill Callahan
Blaze Foley
Roy Harper
Nick Drake
Tim Buckley
Bert Jansch
Bill Fay

Looking for music for panic attacks. Something instrumental, minimal, soothing, to help when my mind is racing a mile a minute and I'm stuck in fight or flight mode for no reason.

The best thing I've found so far is Music for Airports, but not all ambient stuff works. Soothing Sounds for Baby (ironically) makes it way worse from the repetitive high notes.

Max Richter, Amiina, Arvo Part, Erik Satie, A Silver Mt Zion, Eleni Karaindrou, Tangerine Dream, Gorecki, Jóhann Jóhannsson.

I'd also recommend a lot of stuff from the German Jazz label ECM, lots of minimalist, ambient jazz and world music like Jan Garbarek, Anouar Brahem, Ralph Towner, Egberto Gismonti or Keith Jarrett's solo piano concerts.

I would like recommendations for 70s soul music that isn't as much on the disco end of things, along the lines of Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes or Barry White (although lengthy spoken raps to introduce songs as practised by the latter two in particular are optional).

Edit: And any of that 90s soul where hip-hop production was being fused with the R&B vocal group tradition; I would be grateful for any recommendations of groups or albums in that line as well.

Out of modern stuff, Raphael Saadiq's Stone Rollin' is probably my favourite neo soul record of recent years.
