Types of Musical Instrument by Dave Barry
Music scholars divide orchestra instruments into five families:
- Instruments You Blow Into and Eventually Have to Get the Spit Out Of (tubas, whistles, cormorants, tribunes)
- Instruments You Hit (drums, triangles, rhomboids, homophones)
- Instruments That Are Easily Concealed (piccolos)
- Furniture (pianos)
- Instruments That Could Turn out to Be Worth a Million Skillion Dollars (violins)
