I see infoboxes as an "article at a
glance" thing. What's in the box is
usually repeated somewhere in the article, but the point is to have
bite-size bits of info easily accessible to people who don't want to read
the entire article.
Sometimes infoboxes are more than that, though. The infoboxes for
various articles on planets, stars, countries, chemical elements, etc.
have a lot of detailed statistics that aren't presented elsewhere in the
article and would make for dreadfully dry reading if they were (eg,
Rambot articles). Infoboxes work well for that sort of thing.
As for the voice-as-instrument thing, that makes sense to me too. If
someone were to make beautiful music by cracking his knuckles I'd call
his knuckles his instrument.
Tried that. Did not work. Will send more details when fingers heal.
