Technically yes. By definition percussion instrument is any object which produces a sound by being hit with an implement, shaken, rubbed, scraped, or by any other action which sets the object into vibration. Basically instrument must have an outside source of friction to make a sound. Whether that be air blowing through, or a bow on a string. I suppose you don't have to hit it to make a sound though. You could have a set of wind chimes and then blow on them and have them hit each other, then creating a frequency.

∙ 8y agoNo. Although all percussion instruments produce sounds through the vibration of a stretched membrane or the instrument as a whole, some percussion instruments produce sound by Blowing, Plucking, Friction, Scraping or Shaking.
