A great deal of cardiovascular exercise enlarges the heart over time because of the great demand on the heart for blood to be pumped to the working muscles. These are usually the larger muscles of the legs. When using a musical instrument you are using the Thoracic Diaphragm and the lungs to push air through the instrument. While this may be a good exercise to develop excellent lung power, unless your heart is very taxed while your playing your instrument, it is doubtful that any significant increase in heart size would ever take place.
