No idea how to spell the bagpipe sound. Tried "droan" and gave up.

Or piano. Perhaps the clue should be changed to largest *bowed* orchestral instrument.

I think "disc jockey" ought to be accepted, considering it is the "formal" version of the term "DJ"...

"Opposite of consonance" is in the clue to help avoid that. Discord is the opposite of concord.

Is there a difference? can't both be accepted?

Discord: An inharmonious combination of simultaneously sounded tones; a dissonance.

And at dissonance it gives discord..

Angrily typed "Devo" over and over again for the French helmet wearing electronica duo. Until I finally remembered they were neither French nor a duo.

Maybe if you spell it with a "D" they would allow it.

Love to see Motown worked into the Detroit clue instead of Eminem, but, alas, I am just a taker and not the maker...

Actually, the piano is technically a percussion instrument because the stirngs are struck (by hammers). However, nobody thinks of it that way (for sure none of us who are professional pianists!)

The term 'dissonance' is the only answer that shoud be accepted for question 13 because it is the only accurate one for the definition as stated.

Thanks for an interesting quiz, lots of variety.

David Guetta instead of David Bowie is upsetting. I apologise on behalf of my generation
