Name That Musical Instrument Quiz

Didn't do to bad. I spelled timpani "typmani" and saxophone "saxaphone". I tried tuba, which a sousaphone is, just the marching band version. Didn't know alphorn or pan flute.

Great quiz. I once went to a restaurant in Seattle and guess what they had....a sitar player.

I think "bagpipe" should be acceptable for "bagpipes"

THAT'S A FIDDLE!

it's the same thing just called different names... >.>....

Does anyone ever see a sousaphone in an orchestra anymore? Just curious.

Sousaphones are common in marching bands. Also "Tuba" should be accepted for sousaphone, since the sousaphone is classified as a type of tuba.

Great Quiz. I once went to a restaurant in Delhi and guess what they had....a Sousaphone player. I am not kidding.

Bagpipe should be accepted. Also tuba. I couldn't figure out what the first image in the second row was (below the violin).

I agree that "tuba" should also be accepted for "sousaphone". I also would like to be able to click on the instruments I know to name them. Because I could not think of "sousaphone", I was unable to name the ones I knew past that one instrument.

20/20 - the alphorn held me up. I kept imagining the Ricola commercials until it came to me, lol

Don't know why I was so sure the alphorn was a didgeridoo haha.

ACCEPT TUBA!

ITS NOT A TUBA SMART ONE

sousaphone is, specifically, a sousaphone, you would never call a tuba a sousaphone. If the answer were "tuba," there would have been a picture of a tuba. Furthermore, sousaphones are designed more for outdoor use, and have never been prolifically implemented in an orchestral setting.

woot 100% glad i was a band geek

i think mouth organ should be accepted as well as harmonica

bagpipe (singular) should be accepted because after all, it is only one bagpipe shown in the picture

when searching for "types of tubas" the sousaphone comes up. they resemble each other so both answers should be accepted

I had the same issue with Tuba/sousaphone. Also spelled Maracas with two "r's" which should have been accepted...IMHO....

Look up a picture of a tuba and compare it to any picture of a sousaphone, they are notable different. John Philip Sousa would not be pleased with you people complaining because you can't guess its proper name...

Welcome to Heaven, here's your harp...Welcome to Hell, here's your accordion.

Agree that tuba should not count. We can't just enter "woodwind" and expect to get "clarinet." Just because a sousaphone is a type of tuba, does not mean "tuba" should count. And like vampiremoney said, just compare how them on a google image search. They look really different.

'Bagpipe' isn't technically correct. The 'pipes' part refers to the 3 drones, or pipes. No one actually plays a bagpipe, they play the bagpipes.

I really don't think John Philip Sousa would mind. John Philip Sousa is dead. ;) Many people will seriously debate this though. I am a tuba and sousaphone player, and I can tell you that the ONLY difference is that one is made for carrying and marching, the other is made for sitting. Even the keys, or valve combinations are the same for both for all pitches. The sousaphone sound is a little darker, deeper, and less pretty, because it's made for heavy duty sound travel, which is the reason for the directly forward facing bell. Same notes, same keys, same octaves, same basic sound.

only got maracas wrong, and only because i kept spelling it with 2 'c's

Sousaphone is NOT a Tuba... Sousa, like he said, is named after John Philip Sousa .... designed for the marching band music he wrote! :D

technically only one timpano is shown... :)

That was a good one. I kept thinking squeeze box for accordion. Like that song by The Who.

Got 'em all, with a couple of minutes to spare!

never heard of a lute

The saxophone pictured is technically a tenor saxohpone. Tried inputting that and it wouldn't accept. Please fix...

Sousaphone - for real?

I got steelpan at the last second. I don't know why I had a brain freeze on that one. 100%

timpano should work since it's only one (timpani is technically plural, though in english we use it as singular sometimes)

A sousaphone is a tuba. That's not fair.

The steelpan is often also called a tin drum or a kettle drum. Maybe accept at least kettle drum?

LOOK GUYS!!! Sousaphone is a real instrument. I've seen someone play it. Tuba is entirely different, and a baritone is just a smaller version of the tuba. It's a sousaphone!

candman47: There is a difference between a tuba and a sousaphone. There is such a thing as a marching tuba, and the sousaphone is not it. While most tuba players play sousaphone for marching band, it is not a tuba. That is like saying a french horn is the same thing as a mellophone which it's not.

Why not bagpipe?

Bagpipe is not gramatically correct. Instead of one bagpipes, you would say the bagpipes.

you should accept bagpipe for bagpipes

Couldnt spell Harmonica. Spelled it Hormonica.

since "Kettle Drum refers to a timpani, not a steelpan." how about kettle drum as an acceptable answer for the Timpani?

this whole tuba-sousaphone argument really bugs me. a sousaphone is not a tuba. jesus.

HEY QUIZ-MAKER-PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! I'm a percussionist and I just wanna say that you should accept the word timpano as well as timpani because timpani is the plural of timpano. When you say timpani, you imply that there is more than one drum there. You've only pictured one drum. It is a timpano. Kettle drum should also be an acceptable answer.

The sitar one is actually called a sur bahar.

For some reason I couldn't tell that thing was a harmonica. Looked like it was the size of a small keyboard.

One bag, several pipes: it's bagpipes.

got em all :) i tried jamaican drum for steelpan but finally figured it out :)

Great quiz

19/20 - I didn't get sousaphone. Tried every name for tuba, horns, etc!

19/20 couldn't get alphorn. Also a bagpipe would be a bag with one pipe sticking out of it.
