Hmmm... I haven't seen any measurements on various instruments, however,
I would imagine that some instruments do indeed produce harmonics that
are above 15kHz and probably even above 20khz. The instruments that
come to mind are harpsichords, triangles, cymbals, and maybe some of
the smaller woodwinds e.g. sopranino recorder, flute etc.

Would anyone care to verify or deny that?

I do not think it fair to compare a violin with a stereo system. The
performance, or lack thereof, of a stereo, surely cannot be taken to
imply that instruments are incapable of producing tones above 15KHz.
In a slightly facetious line..... Since we cannot build a star, for
instance, does this mean the sun is an illusion?
