I guess I weigh more heavily on the "especially" part of the definition of musician:
: a composer, conductor, or performer of music; especially : instrumentalist

Okay, but even then, define an instrument and you will see your wrong. An instrument is a tool used in order to achieve a means : here your means is to produce music, therefore anything, no matter whether it is a guitar, or a computer, or a guy screaming (see : TV Shit), or a tennis racket, or whatever, can be a musical instrument. And consequently, anyone can be an instrumentalist. And consequently, anyone can be a musician.
