The intent of this page is to keep track of releases and tracks and artists which are AR'ed in a non-optimal way (ie. with less information than what is available or with presumed information). If an instrument is listed repeatedly below, please do not hesitate to add it to Talk:Advanced Instrument Tree!

    • Beyond Boundaries
      • Tracks 1-5, 9, 10, 12-16, and 18 should have "transverse flute" replaced by "Wooden flute" (I'm fairly convinced that it's a transverse wooden flute though... -- FrederikSOlesen 13:45, 13 May 2007 (UTC))
      • Track 6 has a "Boehm flute" for the "transverse flute". (Use Google.)

    • On the Rocks

  • Trabjerg, Anders
    • Boxed
      • Anders Trabjerg plays a "melodion" (credited as "diatonic accordion"), a "button accordion" (should probably be credited as a diatonic accordion), and a "continental accordion" (credited as and is probably 'just' a button accordion).
