I see I didn't cast my vote in my previous message - Yes, the voice can be an instrument. There are musicians unions just for singers (such as opera, my voice coach belongs to the American Guild of Musical Artists, New York, as well as the American Federation of Musicians - Local 709).
Shambles, I don't think the U.S. or my state of Montana even has a legal definnition for musical instrument - there is no need for one as far as I know, but I've never had an occasion to come up against the legal system regarding music performance. Maybe a search on the 'net regarding US law and music would bring one up. All you may find would relate mostly to copyright.
