MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS QUIZ - NAME THE INSTRUMENTS
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS QUIZ - NAME THE INSTRUMENTS
You could have an advantage here if you're a musician.
Send your answers in a PN to me, Buzz of the Orient, and I will send you a PN with your score and any corrections. Because I'm on the other side of the world of most of you, I may be asleep when you PN your answers to me, but I will get to them when I wake up. If you do not get an answer within 24 hours there may have been a glitch in the NT system, so get back to me again.
PLEASE do not put your answers in a comment here, nor should you post any kind of hint, since it will ruin this game for everyone else, so it will just be deleted.
This quiz will close and the Winners' Circle will be announced Monday evening April 7th at about 11 p.m. New York City time.
Please provide your answers with the same numbers as the questions.

I'm out of ideas for a geography quiz, so here's a topic that should be as popular. I've owned and played 6 of those instruments myself, even more than one in one case, but except for only one that is with me now, I gave them all to my son when I moved here.
If you're a musician you might have a better chance to win this quiz, but there are a few of them that might not be so familiar. So have some fun and do the quiz. You've got a week to think about and do it.
These might be more difficult, but how about a quiz on geographical features (famous onces). For example some famous mountain ranges or even single mountins? And/or famous bodies of water (lakes, rivers, etc).
Or-- plants (small ones up to big ones... and including trees?). Or a quiz on identifying flowers? Or-- animals?
Thanks for the suggestions, but at this point I'm pretty well limited by the extent of my own knowledge, and although I can be pretty sure that a kangaroo would be limited to Australia, I don't have enough knowledge to know where else other than Canada beavers can be found and I'm really not interested in doing the research to find out. I know that Mount Everest is in Nepal and Mount Fuji is in Japan but who knows where Mount Emei is located? So as I said, geography is done.
There are Beavers in the U.S.
there's no reason you have to do a geograpy quiz. (Bit you could only use the ones you know. So far that's beavers, Mt Everest,Mt Fuji....the Alps? Or add the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal,.
Or mix animals, a few known flowers and plants (like Tulips,Daisies, Maple leaf,Sunflower), Willow tree, ....
Niagara Falls...
???
Eager ones?
Thanks for the encouragement, but I think I'm just going to continue with movies, if there's enough participation.
Well most people here really seem to like the movie quizzes best.
''Well most people here really seem to like the movie quizzes best.''
Maybe that's because you've been doing movie quizzes for a long time-- but geography quizzes are "new" here?
I don't know if they are eager, but you have to leave it to them!
Yeah, they're new, but there are some things NT members DON'T get tired of, like politics. Maybe I should do a politics quiz.
I left it to them decades ago.
I can't play any of them but might know their names
Lots of time to think about it.
Out of the list I have played, or a better word, tried, 10 of them, two of them proficiently, second chair in one and first chair in another.
Good for you - you shouldn't have any trouble with this quiz.
Looks like fun
It IS fun.
Done and sent.
Received and scored, thanks.
submitted
Got it, scored it. Thank you.
I really do need to get started on this. At least number a page.
And a needed bump up.
Thanks for the bump.
Heading into the weekend and only 2 members have done thie quiz, and now it no longer even shows up on the Front (Home) Page.
Just submitted.
Will also try to get the April fools one done shortly, been a bit busy.
Since this went off the front page, we'll see just how far up this goes.
Got and scored your answers, thank you.
Your comment breathed life back into the quiz - thanks.
Don't let this drop
from the top
this is not about who sings
but names of music things
It's back on top
But do not stop
So other's see
It still can be.
Sent them in. One of my jobs when I worked at a school was property officer and I had to keep track of the band instruments. They had a lot of them, People gave them some unusual ones. Instruments were always getting lost or broke, the Bandmaster was supposed to fix them but every summer I had to haul them to the music repair shop.
Received and scored. Thanks.
In school I never played an instrument or had anything to do with the band.
.
Except in kindergarden - that was the only time I played music in school.
Even though 14 participated in the last geography quiz, only 5 have done this one, and there is now only a day left to do it - so, where is everyone?
All good things must come to an end, and so, this too shall end. After 14 tried the last geography quiz, only 6 did this one. So be it. This is the last of the quizzes and I aplolgize for having the chutzpah of trying to provide just enough of a crack in the political chaos for a little bit of light to come in. Only Dig was able to identify all 20 instruments correctly, getting a perfect 20 score. Snuffy, having lost only a half point takes second place with 19 1/2, bccrane, charger 383 and Kathleen all got scores of 19 for third place, and Just Jim NC TttH receives Honourable Mention for a score ot 17 1/2. Congratulations to all for winning a place in the Winners' Circle, and thanks for your participation.
Here are the answers for the non-musicians seeing this:
1 trumpet
2 banjo
3 tambourine
4 French horn
5 trombone
6 guitar
7 saxaphone
8 dulcimer (aka Appalacian dulcimer, mountain dulcimer)
9 bugle
10 Jew's Harp (aka mouth harp, jaw harp)
11 maracas
12 sitar
13 triangle
14 castanets (aka clackers, clappers)
15 harmonica
16 mandolin
17 hammered dulcimer (aka santoor)
18 autoharp
19 xylophohe
20 accordian
Another fun game, thanks Buzz!
2nd that
A UBI: I was going to post the meaning of a common nickname (Spanish) for Maracas but it might get me in trouble, so I'll just post a typical sentence using it instead (translated to English). As you are probably the first person to see it, Please delete this comment if its inappropriate:
Wow-- wouldya look at that pair of maracas on that woman. Sacrebleu!
I don't think that expression is widely known yet-- but my guess is that it may soon become popular (starting with the Wall Street crowd). It means "Unimportant but interesting")
LOL. Your Spanish reference that ends with a French word is lame. Sacrebleu is not so profane. After all, I don't see anything wrong with this:
Thanks for the definition. I'm not too up to date with acronyms.
This article is now locked to assure its earliest possible demise since the quiz is closed, reported, was open for a day for follow-up comments, and there is no furher purpose in taking up space on the Front (Home) Page which should probably be expanded to accommodate all of the necessary political articles that attract so much interest that there has not been a new member sign up for the whole past month.
