SubscribeHave a few of these fun antique puzzle cards I’ll bring out and scan to the website from time to time:
The puzzle is basically asking: what two musical instruments are being shown? (this is not a ‘hidden object’ type puzzle)

umm possibly the ear DRUM. and i dunno electric guitar?
Hi Scott, DRUM is one ‘musical instrument’, the 2nd is a bit harder….
i’m probably way off, but could it be that the brain is our ” musical instrument”, since anything we play begins as a thought, or signal from our brain to our hands or voice, or whatever it is that we use to produce music?…..that and the eardrum, i guess, since you can’t really “see” the eardrum in the drawing…….
a good answer Nimrod; it makes sense
I suspect, however, you’ll find the actual answer to the riddle a little more satisfying…
Well, I suppose you could say the just inside the front and upper sides of the pinna(outer ear) and a portion of the ear canal, in the diagram pictured(darker region), roughly resembles a saxophone??
ok … is it that the eardrum is one, but as it vibrates, it in turn causes the three bones in the middle ear (hammer, anvil, stirrup) to vibrate as strings on a piano, or … some other kind of instrument?
i know, i need to rephrase all of this…..but, you get what i’m trying to say, right?
the ear is a saxophone and the drum inside it.
close….
little hint: the ear is an xxxxx, and the drum inside it
violin, in response to Dr. Kaplan’s hint
or cello
The ear is a sense organ with an eardrum inside it.
Organ with a drum inside
Got it!
