Trevor's including instruments though. I suspect they add many more harmonics than the overtones contributed by the room. Otherwise a violin would sound like a violin in one room and a flute in another. Then again a lot of the 'sound' of an instrument comes from the transient at the start of each note. If the notes from a violin and a flute are recorded and faded up after the player has begun bowing/blowing they can be more difficult to distinguish than one might imagine.

Cheers,
