I am not suggesting large or oversize ones, but what about a harmonica?
An acquaintance of mine was among the group in this video (not one of the people playing though). Given that said individual always carries the instrument in question (string, smaller than a cello) on board, I'd stay a harmonica would not be a problem... however...

Please, NO! (Unless you're very good).
