A number of other instruments have harmonic spectrums that extend well into ultrasonics.Quoting from "There's Life Above 20 Kilohertz! A Survey of Musical Instrument Spectra to 102.4 KHz" by James Boyk of the California Institute of Technology:
"Harmonics of French horn can extend to above 90 kHz; trumpet, to above 80; violin and oboe, to above 40; and a cymbal crash shows no sign of running out of energy at 100 kHz."
Below is a link to Mr. Boyk's paper, which you might find interesting.
