      Hmmm, this brings up a point. (and possibliy this may not
      be the best forum.)  What is a 'musical instrument'?  Is
      an oscillator a 'musical instrument'?  Is an oscillator
      and a computer, that runs the generator, a 'musical
      instrument'?  Is an oscillator, a computer, and software
      to run the computer, considered a 'musical instrument'?
      Where does it stop?
