well played pizzicato, actually sometimes they do..
I've made electric guitars sound like clarinets in my time..you need a
certain woddy sounding loudspeaker enclosure and a certain amount of
even harmonic distrortion, and a bit of an artist in the thing to
control the attack, which is a bit of a giveaway on a guitar, but the
sustained note is very close to a reed instrument. The sound of the reed
flapping together is duplicated by the asymmetric clipping in the
amplifier...
