Thanks @Mi-Amigo , happy for getting a star! I'm going to spend time reading random things this weekend just in case you ask about any of it in the next quizzes. Next time watch out @LukasB , @Martin-O2 !

Can't believe I didn't think of the harp for the strings question. So easy! I panicked and wrote banjo.
