Acoustical Instruments - a Bad Idea??


When playing music on one’s audio system, is it a bad idea to have certain acoustical instruments in the room?

I just moved, and was thinking of purchasing an upright or maybe a small grand piano placed in the same room as my speakers.  Then I realized that the piano strings may start sympathetic vibration to the audio music adding room distortion.  Maybe any stringed instrument in the room is a bad idea. Drum cymbals, or anything bell like a glockenspiel..

What do you think?

No. My grand is right next to a speaker.

Although I'm sure some will imagine something.

I have a set of drums, a piano, a whole bunch of percussion instruments.  They are part of my references.  If the snares sing, it is because I forgot to throw the strainer.  It is all good.
