35559 .Round 1 Bonus


The NBRC Mods noticed how much members loved all of the musical instrument tasks during previous challenges. We strive to keep our members happy!

During Round 1 books with one of the musical instruments on the list below (plurals permitted) in the text earn an additional 5 bonus points. Only one bonus word per book and a maximum of 10 bonus words.
You can find the same instrument multiple times. Plurals and possessives OK, but no other variants (bagpiping bagpipers without mention of their bagpipes are of no use to you!)
