It might be quicker to list INSTRUMENTS that are NOT OF (OR CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH) ENGLAND

You don't see many National guitars, for instance. Mbira and didgeridoo are definitely minority tastes. Not many English koto or cueca virtuosi, either.

But you could make a perfectly good case for pretty much everything else - banjo, ukulele, sitar, sousaphone, Hammond organ, soprano sax, cello, bongos, turntables, I could go on. England is a big place.
