What ancient musical instruments gained popularity after modern reconstructions? I know that the lyre is one of them, but what others?

Thought I would add a link to him. His name is Cornelius Boots, and while his name and looks don't make him seem like he should be an expert of a lost Asian art, he is.

When I saw him take the stage at the cherry blossom festival, I was worried about some cultural misappropriation about to happen, until he explained his story, and it was only after I got home, I found out he was from the GoS soundtrack.

He has a wide mix of styles he plays in from traditional Japanese to modern hip-hop and rock inspired works. It was fun to see him explain the history of the instrument, show us how it works differently than other flutes, and to talk about the revival movement of the music. He seemed like a really cool guy.
