I gave it a go - grid was tough - I ended up revealing 50%+ after 30 minutes and no joy on the meta. I thought I saw something while solving but I nothing else seems to support what I saw.

I love new contributors, but when a first puzzle seems very hard at best, it's difficult to commit time to it, not yet trusting the constructor.

Did the grid of the "thing" and have several key words and/or concepts that relate, but haven't been able to assemble them into a distinct musical instrument yet. Sleeping on it ---
Never mind -- got it, I think --- Will check with madhatter --

I got the grid relatively quickly but am lost on the meta. Still trying though. Added comment:I’m pretty sure I have it and I think it’s a fair, and relatively easy meta.

Hi all,
As oldjudge pointed out, I should specify that the answer to this puzzle is a WOODWIND instrument.

I just took another look for 10 minutes during lunch - still totally LAS w/o even one thread to try to pull on - so I think that’s it for me. Good luck to everyone else still working!

I had a solid answer for the instrument; now I see it is a woodwind. Pretty sure I have it but I like my original answer as well.

Well I guess I can stop looking for my old instrument, the trombone. I saw BONE in the middle entry and was off on the rabbit hunt.
