Wii Beatles Rock Band Instruments

Can Guitar Hero Wii Instruments be used on the Rock Band Wii games?

I know this has been asked a lot, and I have read many different answers, the most common one being that the GH instruments work on RB 2, but not the other way around. Can someone clear this up for me, because I want to get The Beatles: Rock Band next month without needing to get new instruments for the Wii.

In the case of The Beatles: Rock Band, your GH instruments should work.

Taken from the press release for The Beatles: Rock Band (Source: http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126447) - "The game will be compatible with all Rock Band instrument controllers and other current music-based video game peripherals."

Personally, I have the GH:WT instruments, and they do work with Rock Band 2. According to what I've read, the RB instruments don't work with GH. So to play both GH & RB games, the GH instruments are the way to go. Then you don't have to invest so much money in instruments.

GH instruments don't work with RB1, though, and the GH drums don't work with the AC/DC Track Pack. (The GH instruments may not work with some of the other early Track Packs, either.) The GH instruments should work with all Rock Band games after that, though, and any future releases.

Here are a couples of places showing instrument compatability:
