I'm going to have to go with the oed on this one. I once tried to get familiar with a violinist, and she used me contemptuously. I don't reckon I'll fiddle around with her no more.oed said:1. a. A stringed instrument of music; usually, the violin, but also (with defining word as in bass fiddle) applied to other instruments of the viol kind. Now only in familiar or contemptuous use.

As a scientist, my favourite musical instrument is the piano. I am fascinated by its complex mechanism and the physics behind its sound production.
The piano produces sound through the vibration of its strings, which are struck by hammers when the keys are pressed. The vibration is then amplified by the soundboard, creating the beautiful tones we hear.
The piano was invented in Italy in the early 1700s by Bartolomeo Cristofori. It has evolved over the centuries, with notable changes made by renowned composers such as Beethoven and Chopin.
The piano is considered both a percussion and string instrument. It is classified as a percussion instrument because the keys must be struck to produce sound. However, the strings also play a crucial role in sound production, making it a string instrument as well.
Learning to play the piano has numerous benefits, including improved hand-eye coordination, enhanced memory and cognitive abilities, and stress relief. It also allows for self-expression and creativity, making it a fulfilling hobby or career path.
