Obviously, we have fake Guitars, drums, microphones (I guess those aren't fake.) and turntables for our music games, but I think we are missing out on some potentially crazy peripherals.  Personally, i wish they made a fake banjo, that would be cool, seeing as i have zero interest in actually playing a real banjo. 
 
Any other ideas?

Hm, pianos, why not? Piano + Vocals would be kind of cool. Nobody tell Activision though.

Does no one know of the Miracle Piano for the NES? But yeah a Piano would be nice. But then it would either end up being to hard of a periphial to use because of all the keys, or ending up stupid because of a lack of keys. Personally, I'd like to see another string peripheral like a Bass, Cello, or Violin of some type.

'Cowbell Hero!' 
Nothing but 'dont fear the reaper'!....... actually, that may not be too good an idea, i can think of one game that had that in its soundtrack, and things didn't turn out too well:

The world could really use a comb and wax paper peripheral, although I wouldn't say no to a kazoo one either.

That would mean you'd have to empty out your plastic peripheral's spit valve, as a former school band member, thats not fun.

Maybe they should re-vamp how the guitar is used maybe have strings (sure it will be hard but if they put enough thought into it the might get something amazing) and yea a piano get like a mini but not too mini grand piano.

I think we've already hit all the fun instruments that you can play without actually knowing how to play them.

Kind of, but they are supposed to replicate that "instrument" feel (although I can see where he is going with the piano thing -- too many keys, too).

My thoughts exactly.
Playing a real piano is already just pushing buttons and a footpedal.
It would play exactly the same as a video game peripheral.
A real guitar and a peripheral guitar are nothing alike.

I'd love a piano/keyboard type peripheral. Things like banjos can easily be done on the guitars already out there.

"Fleshlight and Rabbit Hero". Make some sweet, sweet Single or mutiplayer music all night long!
 
Now I think about it, technically this could be the first game ever made that could play itself. Interesting.

I personally would want Duduk Hero, and that same peripheral would also work well for  Didgeridoo Hero.

All the hip-hop games have lacked this central piece of equipment.  Then we can finally have the hip-hop game I've been dreaming of, ideally using whichever is the preferable turntable peripheral and a microphone.

Harmonica, so we can get some Blues Traveler up in our peripheral based rhythm games.
