Excellent quiz. The Paganini Caprices were composed between 1802 and 1817 – so the are 19th century rather than 18th century.

Violin bows themselves are made of wood, usually pernambuco or brazilwood. They are strung with horsehair.

Question needs to be reworded.

You also should accept singular forms of words for things like "pegs" and "luthiers."
