What do you think about people who believe only guitars are musical 
instruments? (and then just imagine you play trombone or kalimba or 
conduct an orchestra or play turntables or play a studio...)

The result defines what is music, not the tool, and that is pretty 
subjective...

My definitions, which I believe are easier to agree on:

A musician is someone who creates music...

Someone who plays an instrument is called an instrumentalist, but 
normally she's called after the instrument she is playing, cellist, 
guitarist, looper, etc...

Someone who plays turntables is called DJ, as turntableist is a bit long...

All of the above are sound artists...
