Same with violins, etc. They're all still man-made; it's not like there's
some cello tree in south africa or something. We made the instruments we
played before, and we make oscillators and we're going to keep making
instruments. But, to go along with the natural sounds you mentioned
before, how is a waterfall more natural than a drum?
How are humans not natural? :P Why is water falling over a rock face more
complex than my finger plucking a string? :b
