Hooray for completing your abecedarian poem with all those fine instruments. I would suggest "Recorder" for the R instrument.
I came by to wish you a very Happy Birthday after reading Debi's poem! Hope you were well celebrated!

Wow. Thanks for the birthday wishes and the review for Musical Alpahbet. I like the idea of Recorder for "R".
My birthday was a great day thanks. The lovely poem by Debi certainly set it off to a great start. A bit of sparkling wine over lunch and dinner was a nice touch. Lots of best wishes from the family and friends. So good.
Take care and thanks again.
Regards
Barry Penfold.

Hi there,
WOW! You did an amazing job with this. I didn't realize a lot of these instruments were even around. But you managed to hit all of the letters of the alphabet, and the poetry flowed well.
Thank you for sharing,
~Mustang~

I enjoyed this very much. It takes a lot of thinking to put a 26-letter poem together to make it sing. You have made a fist of it, informed us of all the instruments across the World, well done.

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip around the world with all the voices and instruments. It sounds like it required a bit of thought to string the instruments together in rhyme. This is well done, enjoyable to read, and easy flowing. Best wishes in the contest.

I think you've done a really good job here, you've written an abecdarian by mentioning all these musical instruments and mystical terms, and not only that but you weaved in some great rhyming. This is superbly written Barry, blessings Roy

Okay, I was waiting with bated breath to react Y and Z. I was half-expecting you to use platitudes or use something quaint as a cop out.

And you didn't! You nailed it with a homer over the fence. Very good indeed!

From A to Z this cute ditty, educated me musically. Some of the instruments I was aware of, some were new to me, and as far as I can see. I am better educated now than I used to be.

I don't know how any of us could beat this. What an achievement - the whole alphabet, using only musical instruments and related, and it rhymes! You mastered it, Maestro!
