So which instruments have barely (or never) troubled the world of popular music, barring maybe some obscure album tracks?
1. The Bontempi Reed Organ has never bothered the charts to my knowledge, unless I misheard one as a harmonium
2. The only example of an ocarina I can think of is Wild Thing by The Troggs
3. My only Stylophone recollections are Space Oddity and Kraftwerk's Pocket Calculator
4. I quite like the sound of the Philicorda (a Philips tonewheel organ), but it's barely featured on record
5. I can't think of a single pop act with a recorder player
6. Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man didn't feature a hurdy-gurdy; neither does any other record I know of.
