Harmonicas are best. Saxophones take two hands. Banjos only work in

Well, in a DC3 cockpit,, I could see a 2-row diatonic like a Hohner
pokerwork. But I think even a 12-bass PA would be a stretch.
In calm air, you could keep the wings level with the rudder pedals for
32 bars, so I guess playing 2-hands is ok if you're trimmed and not
maneuvering. Still no trombones, and a glockenspeil would hide the
panel.
