Basically any instrument that you can bend notes on is great for the blues.

One essential characteristic of the blues is playing a note that is in between the minor and major third. This note is often called a "blue note" and is one of the essential elements in the blues. This is not possible on the piano making it a more difficult instrument to play traditional blues on.
