Why not! There are so many instruments I associate with a certain styles of music but could have great cross-over perks. John Cage electrified a cactus and found that plucking its thorns drew certain notes. Then there are instruments like the Armenian da'duuk (wooden reed flute) that sound like they can't decide which style of music they want to fall in, sort of like "Rhapsody in Blue" crossing over in jazz and classical at places ...

Jazz bassoon. When I was a kid I used to wile away the long watches in Maths lessons by devising radical jazz lineups. I always reckoned that bassoon, harp & muted trumpet would work well together. I guess Davka is as close as I'm going to get in the real world. (Sounds a bit like baritone sax here.) A neat balance of the commonplace & the other-worldly.
