A different view.

The most popular instruments from the period 1900 - around 1970 would have been the voice, sax/Clarinet, trumpet, Trombone. You can't really specify a single most popular instrument of that period. To understand why you have to look at the music of that time.

In the 40's singers featured heavily in Jazz and Swing Music which was the 'pop' music of the day. It was also the 'Glen Miller' period and American Music was exported to the world through the American troops involvement in the second world war.

Later as the singers became an important feature of the Big & swing bands, the band became less important and big bands died a lingering death from 1950 onwards till about the late 1960's Early 1970's as "Rock and roll" supplanted it as the current vogue.

Therefore I would cite the most popular instrument of 1940 as the voice with any of the swing or Jazz band lead instruments as joint popularity.
