I sold my guitars, I sold each and one of my guitars to see if I could finally figure out if turntables were instruments or not.
and guess what, they're not.
turntables are machines that combined with other machines produce noise, sorta like a printer or a microwave, a washing machine or a blender.
a spoon is an instrument, the triangle or the whistle are instruments.
instruments are banjos, balalaikas and an aeroplane's control panel.
a turntable is an overpriced rotary engine, a merry-go-round for adults, a serotonin-releasing-mechanism, all but an instrument.
and that's why I like them so much.
my non-instrumental music boxes.

Turntables are not instruments per se cause they're not made to be used to make music the same way guitars and pianos are. But you can do scratching on em which is cool. :)

yeah I guess when it comes to the scratching thats where turntables shine in their capabilites to produce unique sounds
