      The violin part kinda checks out tbh. It’s like saying a saxophone is basically a shiny clarinet. It’s musician ragebait but it’s not entirely false.

        At the end of the day, every instrument is just a mechanical-to-acoustic transducer with a resonating body to selectively amplify the desired notes and harmonics. The real question is whether a jackdaw qualifies as a sandwich.

            Both harmonicas and bagpipes produce sound by passing air over one or multiple reeds (tuned to resonate at specific fundamental frequencies), inducing oscillations in the reeds, which modulate the air flow. Bagpipes use pipes to amplify the sound, and harmonicas use the cavity between the reed plate and the body, and often the player’s hand.

            A digital keyboard that doesn’t produce sound is just a fancy human interface device.
