Instruments [MIMO Code] (notes)

Fiddle [3142] (keyed fiddle (nyckelharpa); guitar shaped with broad neck and a flat, rounded pegboard; just above the neck there is an object of the same colour as the rest of the instrument whose form and placement make it reasonable to assume that it is the open lid of the key mechanism of a keyed fiddle.)
