Which of these statements is trueAll percussion instruments can be tuned.The idiophones include instruments such as the snare drum and kettledrum.Tuning an instrument means to set it to a certain pitch?
All three are true, assuming the definition of "tuned" is flexible. Any percussion instrument makes a certain sound, and most, if not all, will have an element of pitch which can be changed by tuning the instrument (shaving wood off of a woodblock, tightening a drum head, etc). The other two questions are definitely true - idiophones include the snare and timpani (kettledrum), and tuning an instrument means setting it to a certain pitch.
