The human voicebox is WHAT!

Asked by Cardinal (2931points) May 20th, 2008

We (2 students on my bus and I) were having a discussion today in reference to the human voicebox. Could it be considered a musical instrument (or not)!

Hmm.. I don’t see why not. It’s capable of producing different notes, ranges, and pitches. I’m not a musician though so we may need more opinions..

Many people who enjoy opera in particular consider “the voicebox” a musical instrument.

It is, in fact, the original instrument. If you have never heard Tuvan Throat Singing, check out this YouTube video.

Listen to Ella Fitzgerald and then ask yourself that question.

Yes it is. Just like allies said, it can make notes of different ranges and pitches.
