Nice quizzes! But I have to object at the characterization of recorders as a mere children's instrument. Recorders have a long and noble history, and can boast of some serious repertoire. As an alternative clue, how about, to quote Wikipedia, "flute with whistle mouthpiece."

Very true! I didn't actually mean to imply any sense of 'mere' in the clue. I play classical music for a living and work with brilliant recorder players from time to time - Vivaldi concertos, Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 4, cantatas etc - so I know very well that the recorder played at professional levels has just as much standing as any instrument. But...it is commonly played (ad nauseum) by kids as a simple beginner's instrument, too, so the clue works. Thanks for taking the whole series!

The clue for repeat shows an empty square, rather than the repeat sign.

Can't see the clue for 'repeat,' just an empty box.

Apart from the ravioli haha, I sort of went through the same sequence before getting it correct this time (let the question sink in, instead of just phonetic instinctual reaction and looked at "French")

Thanks for this great series, Kiwirage, I've really enjoyed it.

Just a tiny quibble - an oboe or bassoon doesn't really have two reeds, but a double reed; they come as a single entity when you buy them. Not that I ever have, as I'm a clarinettist, so just singles for me!

You could argue that Elvis's musical genre was not rock; it's more accurate to say that it was rock and roll (or rockabilly). Rock music arose in the mid-60s from rock and roll, but they aren't the same thing. Of course, this is nitpicky and I'm not trying to advocate a change to this quiz; I just wanted to point this out.
