I don’t play wind, but I think trombone fits in.

Popular is at odds with “doing things the majority of people don’t do” of course. Like asking about popular non-QWERTY Apple keyboards. Unpopular doesn’t mean “you suck for wanting it”, just “hey not our thing, do it if you want to.” You need compositions and maybe an audience. 4/4 and equal temperament just benefit from a network effect.

There is a significant culture of non-Western instruments and non-Western musicians. Probably a good starting point.
