yes, there's enough there to see what it is.

Will this work since it's an altered guitar?

Peg wrote: "Will this work since it's an altered guitar?"

sorry, this doesn't appear to be an actual musical instrument that one could play.

Ok, thanks. It probably would be difficult to try and play, and definitely not easy on the ears! Thankfully there are lots of other options.

Would this work

The Piper's Son

Thank you

Would this one count for the instrument on cover?

Katrina wrote: "Can I use Symphony it uses the outline of a violin. Thanks"

yes - be sure and note this in your completed task post so Dlmrose doesn't have to rethink it.

Also, when you ask about whether a cover works, you should include the cover in your post (just like in your completed task post).

yes - the reflection makes it clear!

Can I use this one?

yes, I think we can assume there's a guitar in that case!

Thanks, Sandy~

What about The Cellist of Sarajevo? Cello/cellist?

Sorry, no. A cellist a person, not an instrument.

Would bells be acceptable for musical instruments and would this book be approved Silver Bells at Moonglow

Wanda wrote: "Would bells be acceptable for musical instruments and would this book be approved Silver Bells at Moonglow"

sorry, these are decorations, not instruments - the description even says that they're bells in a wreath.

How about The Bell, referring to church bells?

Sarah wrote: "How about The Bell, referring to church bells?"

I'm going to say no to that as well - the task is looking for an instrument that a person would be playing.

Ok, how about this one? Only a bit of it showing but seems clear to me that it's an instrument.

The picture will work, since the bow goes along with a cello or violin, so works for instrument. The picture gives it the needed context. The title word "bow" would not work for the title option, however, since a "bow" can be many things.

Thank you so much for your help, Sandy!

Would this work for the cover option?



The road is a guitar, but the guitar isn't actually there.

sorry, no, there needs to be an actual instrument on the cover
