Hmm, well see, this is more of a musical instrument test, not musical knowledge really. Even music theory would be closer to what I had in mind from the title (Like questions 7 & 8). The other questions are much more specific to band/orchestra instruments, and not really "common knowledge" when it comes to music.

If I had stuck with band though, I'm sure I'd be able to answer most of those. Good quiz though, I just think the title needs a little revision.

It's "music."

But I added the second part just for you.
