Indeed! Rodolfo Maltese made a little use of it in Banco, but I could stand to hear a lot more of its wonderfully plaintive yet plangent tones in a prog context.

The PA forum used to have a pretty significant oboe fan club at one point in its history.  I'm not sure how many of those folks still remain.

Of those listed, oboe, but in general I think I'll have to side with Rednight on this one and say French horn. Both are very beautiful instruments that I think fit into prog quite well but aren't very commonly used.

Saxophone - not necessarily for prog - although often works. Year of the Cat and Baker Street...... Enough said! and of course Coltrane, Cannonball etc......

Shoulda been multiple voting allowed Angry

I voted accordion.  But given a free choice, my answer would be the hurdy gurdy - of course.

I would think the harpsichord would be a good one. The accordian would only work if you were doing Prog Polka ;)

Well I thought you could vote for multiple choices, so I started with flute but wasn't able to vote for others. If so, I would have added all except organ and saxophone the use of which is quite common.
