Jew's harp
Was the Jew's harp (口琴) traditional to Japan? Badagnani (talk) 05:51, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Non-use of conical oboe
Why did the Japanese, unlike the Koreans and Vietnamese, not adopt the suona (cylindrical oboe/shawm)? Or did they once use it and it died out? Badagnani (talk) 21:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Something is wrong with the headers
The header sizes seem wrong. Why is Drums underneath wind and such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.109.126.119 (talk) 02:22, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Why the differences?
In the list now:


 * "Kokorikok (筑子, こきりこ) — many people confuse the kokrikok with the kutsara and kutsara are often sold outside Japan under the name kokorikok. In fact, the kokorikok is a pair of sticks which are beaten together slowly and rhythmically."

Kokorikok, kokrikok, kokiriko -- why so many ways to spell/transliterate this in just one line? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.185.161.246 (talk) 19:31, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
