Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello people!
I notice all the time there are quizzes and stuff for band players, and they always leave us orchestra nerds in the dust. So I made a small quiz for your enjoyment! (and to read and say "Thank God that's happened to someone else!")
I've tried to make it as universal as possible, but it might be leaned more towards violin since that’s the only experience I have. If a question doesn’t apply to you, then just ignore it or make something up. Please no spamming or making negative comments about someone else’s answers. Have fun! (And by the way, this quiz sucks!)
