@GenQuest: I prefer the hook with a little more detail. I've edited it slightly. As for the image, if it is unusable I will just change the hook. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 08:10, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Schminnte The use of "euphonium" may narrow your audience quite a bit. Most people understand "tuba", which would give it broader appeal and interest, IMO. I can go with the euphonium for now and leave that particular detail up to the closer. As for the picture, hopefully, the closer has the knowledge for the copyright of the image. I think it is OK, but do not usually get too involved with the licensing. Good job. Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 08:24, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks GenQuest I thought it might be better in order to better understand the article. If the article says one thing and the hook another, people might get confused. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 09:44, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - Pic appears OK! Good to go. GenQuest ^"scribble" 00:57, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
