All string instruments. John Cage has a collection of microtone instruments. The Indian sitar has microtones. Any instrument you blow can create microtones by the use of the breath, because you can adjust the tone. Too bad the piano can't.

pretty much every instrument that is not a keyboard instrument (piano, marimba, etc..) can achieve microtones through bending.
Even with fixed-pitch instruments, it's possible to tune them to something other than Western Harmonics....

Just about any instrument that can be played out of the A440. A piano for the most part cannot, a guitar can. An Ud is one that does it well. Sarangi, Sitar...because in that mode one plays out of the traditional 12 note structure. Its played in between them. John McLaughlin uses them...check out Shakti...

All but fixed pitched instruments, and many of those can be retuned.
