music doesn't care what we think is an instrument or think is not an instrument...

This is probably my favorite response in this entire thread. You are absolutely right. One of the great things about art is how it defies conventional boundaries. It's hard enough to define what even music itself is, the idea that we could fully delineate what is and isn't a musical instrument is probably pretty futile.
