What is an instrument?

Controversy?

ok everyone take a deep breath....
ok, now, i want everyone to think really hard about this.
is it worth getting worked up over the difference between an electric piano and a keyboard? i'm all for discussion about it, but i don't think it's a discussion anymore when people are just trying to hammer thier points in harder and harder in order to convince others. maybe we should calm down and consider other peoples points. also we need to try to recognize when it's an irreconcilable difference of opinion and move on.
in my opinion a piano is the acoustic type with strings.
an electric piano has the hammer mechanism and yet uses electricity to produce the sound.
an electronic piano is one which has no hammer mechanism and yet has the full set of keys and feels very similar to a "real" piano.
a keyboard has a limited set of keys, probably feels very different and is primarily used for other voices than "piano"
thats what i think. you don't have to.
sidenote: most of you didn't read this post because of the big scary paragraphs and non-dramatic voice. : )

the AMM ensemble had three transistor radio players.
Turntables are instruments if you're doing scratches and whatnot, or playing samples off them. Sampling is an instrument: if you think about it, a keyboard is nothing but a preset sampling machine, in which case a turntable is definitely an instrument.
Now curse you, I must listen to 'In The Realm Of Nothing Whatever' again. And I only have it on vinyl. Gah. I shall do this later, and use the opportunity to spin my new Queen Adreena 7" too.

Yep, the way you said it all calmly and intelligently without any condescension or sarcasm was a real turn-off there, hoss.
