Patty Gurdy* played – surprise surprise – the hurdy-gurdy with pirate metal bozos Alestorm.

* Not actually her real name

Portishead are good for this game, with theremin and cimbalom on Dummy. Fiona Apple also uses cimbalom on Extraordinary Machine, as well as making lovely use of tubular bells which reminds me of a doorbell.

Speaking of theremin, Beach Boys' Good Vibrations is the obvious theremin use.

Yes - Willie Barrett made probably the best use of him.  Didn't catch on, though.
