I’m something of a bong soloist myself.
Is a bong an instrument? It has been featured in many songs even having credits for bong solo.

Bong solo? Bongs are meant to be shared!

So is music.
Ergo: A Bong is a music instrument. Case closed.

I only know of one song that for sure uses a bong “as an instrument” and that’s the bong rip you hear at the beginning of Sublime’s Smoke Two Joints.

That depends. Is a sampler an instrument?
Camzing@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I really want to say no but I think it’s the wrong answer.

Yes. It is a percussive instrument similar to cymbals.

Depends on the bong?
A bong can be a load of stuff.
That said, now waiting to see a hookah pipe solo

“Watermelon Man” by Herbie Hancock has a beer bottle solo credited to Bill Summers.

Lots of non traditional instruments get called for in concerts. I played a song that called for drumming on upturned metal trash cans in high school.

I was in band, and marching band was mandatory.
I did not try out, as I did not want to participate in that part of the band experience.
So I was part of the “front ensemble” which is shit you can’t march with. Timpani drums, etc.
We had an L frame rack with wheels that had all sorts of crap on it, half of it made in some garage before I joined.
We called it the ghetto rack.
I had a solo on what were essentially tanks that had the bottom cut off and an attachment point welded on top hung by rope.
So yeah, if you can hit it and make a sound, it becomes a percussion instrument.
