""Far from resisting categorisation, mayonnaise turns out to be remarkably versatile: it can be classified in more ways than many conventional instruments.""
""Music has always evolved through experimentation. When you look at the core principles of what defines an instrument, the choice to treat an object as an instrument is what makes it one, and mayo is no exception.""
Research led by Dr. Rachael Durkin at Northumbria University confirms that mayonnaise qualifies as a musical instrument. Using the Hornbostel-Sachs classification system, the study shows that mayonnaise can produce sound in various forms, including in jars and squeeze bottles. The findings highlight mayonnaise's versatility, allowing it to be categorized in more ways than many traditional instruments. The report draws parallels with unconventional instruments in music history, emphasizing that the classification of an object as an instrument is based on its use in music.
