I've been thinking again, that's twice already and it's still a.m.

Ok, following the logic of the above post, virtually anything could be classed as a musical instrument. It all depends on a musician to manipulate the computer, guitar, oil drum, watering can, hose pipe, telephone, saucepan, electric food mixer....on and on...

It takes a musician to turn any of these objects into a musical instrument. The difference being as I mentioned earlier, a saxophone is still a musical instrument and a guitar is still a guitar even without a musician present. We know that a guitar is really just wood and steel strings and a saxophone is just some curved pipe with keys and a reed but they are still musical instruments.

An oil drum is a potential musical instrument but first and foremost, it is a drum for holding oil. Same with a saucepan and a hose pipe.They are all 'potential musical instruments' .They become musical instruments when in the hands of a musician.... same with a computer.

Just my two thoughts for the day, gonna have to take it easy now.. Gordon.
