Please accept Cor Anglais for English Horn (the French name is common even with English speakers), Double Bass for Bass, Timpanum for Timpani (the picture is of only one timpanum) and Tubular Bells for Chimes.

Excellent suggestions, @Chromatos. Other ideas for alternate answers would be welcome.

If you're going to accept "timpanum", you should probably accept timpano as a singular as well (since I play the instrument and have never heard one referred to as a timpanum).

Also maybe the tympani spelling? Five globes for having a contrabassoon!

Side Drum for snare drum; if the snare is taken off, is it still snared? Glockenspiel for xylophone; it's hard to see what it's made of in the picture, so both should be fine Violoncello for Cello; very pedantic but in the interest of accuracy, it should be accepted as correct

Agreed, agreed and agreed. Thanks!
