    synchronization

    noun

    the operation or activity of two or more things at the same time or rate.

    The instruments are “in sync” because of what is being played on them, not from the mere fact of being musical instruments. To get two instruments being played in sync, you’d need two (or one very skilled) musicist to play them. I couldn’t play in sync with anyone, I wouldn’t know how.

        It’s not really a question of opinion though. There’s quite a clear definition…

            You can say you don’t agree with the facts, but the facts are still the facts.

            The instruments can’t be “in sync” just by the virtue of being instruments. A violin sitting on a shelf won’t ever be in sync with anything. It needs to be played for it to be in sync. When it’s played, what constitutes “being in sync”? The same time or tempo, if you will.
