Nice & Easy
Thanks!
Easy as long as you have knowledge of the instruments!!!
hey! i got that one! nice one buttons
Very cute teaser Buttons. I enjoyed it and would like to see more!
You should be more specific on that last clue. You are not supposed to need prior knowledge to solve a logic grid.
Thank you for your comments, I am glad that most of you like my teaser.
I am sorry for the prior knowlege needed, I thought that would make the teaser more interesting. But thank you for your input.

Easy and fun. More music logic-grids!
I disagree about not needing prior knowledge to solve logic grids. I've done plenty that referred to locations of colleges, distance from one city to another, whether a place was north or south of some other place . . .
This was well done! Keep them coming!

A hint about which instruments have reeds might have been nice. I found it completely impossible to do without it! I'm sure it was good for those who knew it though.
Wow this one was cool! Good Job!
It was fun because I was a good-guesser on the double reeded instrument. I HAD learned that at some point in schooling but it was hard to retrieve.
Thanks!
YAY! I never knew when I sat first chair in high school that what I was learning would help me out 10 years later in a brain teaser!
Interesting how life works, huh?
I agree that it would be helpful to have the "prior knowledge" info in the clues section for those of us who were not in band. good job otherwise though.
I have to agree with the prior knowledge comments...something in the hints would have been nice. I did ok until it came to the double reed clue. I didn't know which had a double or single reed. Otherwise, good teaser.
This was TOO HARD!
good teaser
Thank you!
It was a good puzzle, but I had to guess on the double reed, drat! I should have Googled it instead, otherwise I did OK.
Hard for all the wrong reasons. Probably easy if you know which are reed/double-reed/brass ... impossible if you don't. I gave up on this one (first time I've done that) because I don't feel like googling all the instruments in order to figure out the clues.
If you're going to require outside knowledge, at least put that into a Hint.
