* parallel rather than perpendicular bowing
* exaggerated [[vibrato]]
* [[String instrument extended technique#Snap pizzicato|snap pizzicato]], also called [[Bartók]] pizzicato
* tapping or rubbing the [[Sound board (music)|soundboard]] of stringed instruments
* string scrapes with finger, nail, or object
* percussive effects on body of instrument
* [[tapping]] on the fingerboard
* "seagull" harmonic effects
* detuning a string while playing
* preparation
* resonance effects

=== Plucked string instruments ===
* [[bowed guitar|using a bow]]
* playing with percussion sticks, mallets, or other objects
* playing on crossed strings (called "snare drum effect" on guitar)
* snap pizzicato, in which a string is pulled away from the fingerboard until it snaps back and strikes the fingerboard.
* string scrapes, a technique especially associated with electric guitar and electric bass, as played with a pick.
* percussive effects, such as drumming on a string instrument body 
* palm and finger muting ("pizzicato")
* [[tapping]] on the fingerboard
* string pops and slaps (fingerboard instruments)
* [[prepared guitar|preparation]] of a guitar by inserting screws or pieces of metal in the bridge or between the strings.
* detuning a string while playing
* "[[3rd bridge]]", a guitar technique using the part of the string between the nut and the stopping finger; see [[Iannis Xenakis|Xenakis]]' [[cello]] piece ''[[Nomos Alpha]]'' for a similar effect.

=== Piano ===
{{main|Piano extended technique}}
* [[prepared piano]], i.e., introducing foreign objects into the workings of the piano to change the sound quality
* [[string piano]], i.e., striking, plucking, or bowing the strings directly, or any other direct manipulation of the strings
* resonance effects (whistling, singing or talking into the piano)
* silently depressing one or more keys, allowing the corresponding strings to vibrate freely, allowing sympathetic [[harmonics]] to sound
* touching the strings at node points to create [[flageolet tone|harmonics]]
* percussive use of different parts of the piano, such as the outer rim
** slamming piano lid or keyboard cover
* microtones
* use of the palms, fists, or external devices to create [[tone clusters]]
* use of other materials to strike the keys
* pedal noises

=== Woodwind instruments ===
* multiphonics
* [[overblowing|harmonics]]
* pitch bends ("lipping")
* noisily activating keys without blowing
* combination of a [[Mouthpiece (woodwind)|mouthpiece]] of one instrument with the main body of another, for example, using an alto [[saxophone]] mouthpiece on a standard [[trombone]].
* [[flutter-tonguing]], 
* breath noises
* blowing a disengaged mouthpiece or reed
* singing through the instrument while playing
* internal muting
* key or tone-hole slap – percussive sound made by slapping a key or keys against their tone holes
* [[circular breathing]]

=== Brass instruments ===
* singing through the instrument while playing
* exaggerated brass head-shakes
* noisily activating [[valve]]s without blowing
* pitch bends ("lipping")
* combination of a [[Mouthpiece (brass)|mouthpiece]] of one instrument with the main body of another, for example, using a [[French horn]] mouthpiece on a standard [[bassoon]]
* [[flutter tonguing]]
* [[circular breathing]]
* [[double buzz]]
* half-valve playing
* unconventional mutes or other foreign objects in the bell (e.g. plumbing parts)
* breath noises
* [[slap tonguing]]
* blowing a disengaged mouthpiece

===Percussion===
* rudimental or "dynamic" double bass on the drum set, using hand rudiments such as [[double-stroke roll|double stroke rolls]] and [[Flam (drum rudiment)|flam taps]] and playing them with the feet
* stacking 2 or more [[cymbal]]s, one on top of the other, to change the sound properties of the instrument
* bowed vibraphone, cymbals, and gongs
* resonance effects (e.g., cymbal played on a timpani; cow bell struck against a bass drum, etc.)
* pitch bends on mallet percussion
* harmonics
* custom-built [[percussion]] [[mallets]], occasionally made for [[vibraphone]] or [[tubular bell]]s (and other pitched-percussion in increasingly rare circumstances) which feature more than one mallet-head, and so are capable of producing multiple pitches and difficult chords (though usually only the chords they were designed to play). These mallets are seldom used, and percussionists sometimes make them themselves when they are needed. When implemented, they are usually only used once or twice in an entire work, and are alternated with conventional mallets; usually they are used only when playing a different instrument in each hand.
* striking a gong and then inserting the vibrating metal into a tub of water, creating a glissando.
* placing a cymbal on a timpani head

=== Electronic ===
* added [[electronics]] or [[MIDI]] control
* [[Turntablism]], such as [[scratching]] records or otherwise manipulating a record or turntable platter, often done in combination with a [[DJ mixer]], to create unique sound effects and rhythms
* Using a "[[kill switch]]" on an electric guitar to create quasi-scratching rhythmic sounds.
* [[Circuit bending]]: [[DIY]] experimenting with electronic keyboards and electronic toys.
* playing electric instruments unplugged, or amplifying acoustical parts of normally electronic instruments (e.g. finger noise on the keys)
* exploitation of inherent equipment "defects" (e.g., deliberately driving digital equipment into [[aliasing]]; exaggerating hum or hiss coming from speakers, [[acoustic feedback]], key click on a [[Hammond organ]] etc.)

=== Organ ===
Playing on stops that are partially drawn (has an effect only if the stops are on purely mechanical action, with a slider windchest).
Manipulating stops while holding one or more notes (possible on most organs, but most effective if the stops are on purely mechanical action, with a slider chest).

=== Other instruments ===
{{main|Experimental musical instrument}}
* unusual [[harmonic]]s
* [[glissandi]], tuner glissando
