I agree with that.  But then the notion of having created new sound creates
a conceptual problem for me.

No. Energy has merely passed from the motion of the finger of 
the player, into our ear as sound, via a number of conversions 
and considerable disbursal and absorption through the action, 
strings, soundboard, air, etc. We can't in any way create 
either matter, or energy. We can only modify one through the 
use of the other - and vise versa.
