Can a typewriter became a standard instrument in orchestra?


We can have Theremin performed with the orchestra, but why not a typewriter?

The Typewriter is a novelty instrumental piece written by Leroy Anderson in 1950. Its name refers to the fact that its performance requires a typewriter, which is used on stage: keystrokes, the typewriter bell, and the carriage return mechanism provide a major component of the piece.
