Smaarty

LOL, oops, missed that.

queenmomcat

Depends on the harp! But I check with Mr. Musician....

OK. Here's my question. Well. OK. HIs question....

16. Can it be played standing up? (Your choices are: always, sometimes, never.)

Loveroflife

15. Not a harp

16. How about rarely..

Edit to correct rarely to maybe sometimes

queenmomcat

Forgive me, Mr. Musican's gone to sleep.

Loveroflife

Hahahahaha so sorry I was watching an episode on PBS and forgot to check in sooner.

17. (since no one else's volunteered) A rather sleepy "double bass" from Mr. Husband.

Loveroflife

Aww Queenie, shouldn't have bothered Dear Mr. Musician.

Sorry no, not a double bass.

Loveroflife

After much thought, I need to stick to the original answer of number 16. This instrument is rarely played standing up, although some have tried. Sorry for the confusion. I won't count # 17.

queenmomcat

(blushes) Just read back over my own questions....so the brief recap is: it's an instrument with strings, which is rarely played standing up, It's too big to carry, and requires electricity or batteries.

Loveroflife

Gosh, just realized the answer to # 2 is misleading with the comma in place. Sorry sorry... (laughing at myself now and blushing here). The answer should say no batteries or electricity needed. Thank you, Ms. Editor

queenmomcat

(snorts of laughter) Well, that's why I wanted to recap! But now thinking of the "Commas save lives" tshirt....

18. is it a keyboard instrument? (e.g. piano....which this isn't)

Loveroflife

Recap: a musical instrument (not piano, harp, or guitar). It has STRING and rarely is played standing up.

Edit to add: it can't be carried easily like a violin or flute.

MusicLover

18. Cello? (or String Bass? but I think Queenie said that already)

Yeah, commas are important as in Don't, Stop or Don't Stop which my husband always reminds me about.

Loveroflife

So true. I blame my bad grammar on my iPhone You are WRITE, ML. It is a cello, one of my favorite. And no me don't play no instrument.

MusicLover

I waited hours for someone else to get it. Does someone else want to run the game?

Loveroflife

What?!! Are you saying you knew it was a cello early on?? How did you do that??

queenmomcat

Do tell, ML. How did you guess?

MusicLover

My daughter played the viola and my son played the violin and I was always fascinated with the large string instruments.

Queen, Would you like to run one?
