What qualifies as a miscellaneous instrument?
This category caters for all instruments, on which the melody can be played, which are not catered for in other solo competitions. Please note electronic, mains or battery powered instruments are not accepted. As you can see, there is no mention of finger work. For example, the harmonica is an accepted instrument in this competition, but it is not played with the fingers. The important point about instruments in this competition is that it must be possible to play the melody on a miscellaneous instrument.
