I don't know. (He's on third.)

And there are other instruments whose names have other usages - harp, trumpet, drum, horn are also verbs.

Dear WW: are you teasing me? I searched for "rimshot" a couple days ago, and site
said it was musical term for drummer beating rim of drum. And I had stupidly thought
it meant sparteye's team scoring without ball touching rim of hoop!

I've often wondered howcome a woodpecker's brain doesn't get homogenized by his jackhammer excavating squarewave oscillations.

Maybe his brain *isn't in his pecker...

I do not agree, piano is not an adjective, it is an adverbe
piano = slowly

In English, piano may be used as either an adjective or an adverb.
