There are three that so far that should have their own character guide.
In many versions of Charlie Brown, there is Miss Othmar, and numerous other adults that are voiced, on most occasions, by a musical instrument.
In Gofrette, there is Red, who is also voiced by musical instrument.
In Keeping Up Appearances, there is Sheridan who appears only in photographs and silhouette.
However, all of these characters have numerous conversations, in all or most episodes, with the starring characters.
Why would you want to credit something that does not exist in theory? Guitar plays Miss Othmar? That's just plain weird and I find it unneccessary to even list them.
Trombone, and perhaps the musician or creator could be credited? Another example the credits as originally aired had: "Robot Jones ... Himself". A speech synthesizer typed and edited by Greg Miller.

I think in the instance of Robot Jones playing himself we'd surely credit them just like when an animal is credited too?

Last I checked we do not credit animals (unless they are voiced by human actors, e.g. https://www.tvmaze.com/characters/451780/midnight-texas-mr-snuggly). At least we're not supposed to.
By TVmaze definition, any cast entry links an actor ("person") entry that played or voiced the role, with the character entry that was portrayed.
So there couldn't be any cast entry without a "person" part.

Yep sorry my bad.
