You can get electronic instruments that are smaller than their traditional counterparts.

Pianos can be the size of just the keyboard with electronic synthesizers, which are what the keyboards are called that can be a piano or organ or a saxamaphone or guitar or harp or that alien sounding weird instrument... Or harpsichord or barking or... I mean, keyboards can make pretty much all the sounds.

The hollow body of the violin can be done away with and have just enough parts left to hold the strings and electronic parts.

Someone mentioned digital drum pads which are flat versions of their drum counterparts.

The Electronic Wind Instrument (also known as a EWI) is like a small clarinet that can make other instruments' sounds.

Digital organs on synth keyboards are not the size of a room.

What do you count, if not those? Yes a tuba is still huge, but that's the traditional horn. Traditional instruments need the physics of their size. Technology has made them smaller, by creating ways to make those sounds without needing the precise physics...
