Every spring UT has an International Fair. Foreign student groups, like the Indian Student Association, set up booths with maps, pictures and objects from home. Each booth also sells lots of good food. I took these pictures at the International Fair today.

Musical instrument from the Bangladesh booth.
I can't remember its name, but this instrument was on the Bangladesh booth. You can't see it in the photo, but bellows on the back are used to operate it.

Incidentally, if you are ever in Brussels, I recommend visiting the Musical Instrument Museum. It has a lot of very nice displays of instruments from all over the world, and also from ages past, like the glass harmonica and serpents. Most of the exhibits have accompanying audio, so you can hear what the instruments sound like.
