Music twitter: are there any instruments besides guitar and bass where it's normal for even very advanced players not to be able to read sheet music?

In the bluegrass world,banjo and mandolin players typically play from tab not sheet music.

It sounds like tabs are the norm for all fretted stringed instruments? It would be pretty trippy to see a cello tab...

I always thought it made sense for those instruments because each note can be played multiple ways. Sheet music underspecifies how to play something on a guitar.

It does not! And you can always annotate any ambiguous passages. But it's a beast to learn for a beginner
