Break down by continent for ease of reference?
Anyone object to breaking these down by continent so it's not a single huge list? MatthewVanitas (talk) 02:15, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Criterion
The saxophone was invented by a Belgian. But does that make the saxophone a Belgian musical instrument? And if so, shouldn't the Hammond organ be categorized as an American musical instrument? Or should the criterion not so much be the nationality of the inventor, but in which nations' musical culture the instrument is important (such as the accordion in Colombia – although not invented there)? --Lambiam
