土 isn't a musical instrument. It's a *category* of musical instruments: those made of clay, including ocarinas (塤) and clay pots used for percussion.

Same goes for 金 etc.
--------------------------------

八音 isn't "musical instruments". It's a *classification system* for musical instruments.
Used in advertising? So what? I suggest we delete this bit. Seems useless.

+ "the eight kinds of sound produced by instruments in these categories" (GF, GR, K)

"music" (HDC)
