What's your favorite unconventional non-percussive musical instrument?

Don't say mayonnaise or horseradish or any other condiment, because that'd be classified as percussive. Anyone can bang two sticks together and call it music. I'm more talking about an instrument that can play an actual note. Can be electronic (but not completely a digital DAW/vst).

I think my favorite is maybe a hurdy gurdy? Those things are so interesting. Theremin + Tesla Coil is also really interesting (no, Edison did not invent the Theremin... Theremin did, and like 99% of the things attributed to him, he didn't invent it at all... goddamn thief)

I'm going to build a sstc tesla coil and have it play music (I have the skills to do so) but I don't have access to a theremin... could build one, it's mostly just a rod and some capacitors, but eh.

@SW-User Mmm more conventional, but at least not mainstream. I do enjoy a good accordion, especially when mixed into EDM.

This song has some accordion in it and it sounds really, really good (a game soundtrack--the game has the best soundtrack of any game I've played)
