I think we are talking about different kinds of diversities. To say it another way, no matter how you bang at a piano, it still sounds like a piano. I was talking about diversity in what is technically known as "timbre". For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1T-za0WH4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1T-za0WH4Y You can say that these are toy sounds, that they don't sound like real instruments, I can then say that they are purer sounds. But I think we can agree that a classical orchestra cannot make these sounds, so in way it's less expressive.

> I think we are talking about different kinds of diversities. I don't think we are actually because I was also referring to timbre. But yes I suppose I would agree that by the nature of being limited to certain instruments, you are limited in what you can express. I suppose I just feel like each of those instruments can be played to produce a very wide variety of colors as well, but I do of course see what you are saying.
