Ok it seams as some people didn't understand the game.
A to Z means that we will take terns saying instruments in alphabetical order. So the previous person said guitar which starts with G so i went to the next letter H and i said harp. So the next person supposed to say an instruments starting with I but i can't think of any at the moment.
I don't know how to explain it better. Now we have got 3 instruments starting with H but we should be at letter K by now.
Thanks for playing anyway.

O is for Ocarina, a wind instrument which is made out of either, wood like almost any other wind instrument or most unusually, glass. I was actually given a glass ocarina when I was in Nursery school. it is shaped rather like a smarty or minstrel (sugar coated chocolate sweets) and you play it by covering the six holes, a bit like a recorder, but these six holes are all different sizes, two large, two medium and two small. Ocarinas also have another hole through which a string is usually threaded so you can hang them round your neck. (but I've lost my string lol.)

Panpipes. Basically, as the word "pipes" suggests, these are pipes with a mouth end and a closed end, which is how the fairly unique sound is produced. They are fashioned from either Bamboo shoots or metal.

o.K. I will be the first to admit that I am probably pushing the limit here excpt to think say as one's VOICE in some respects as a Musical Instrument as far as various musical note ranges. The word that I am thinking of is:
Yodelling ..and if this does not qualify, then the word: "Yute," it's a Chinese stringed instrument *Please note, this word was used before..
Nikos, I understand if the word, "Yodelling," does not qualify.. it would seem though that the next letter would be..
The Letter "Z"
