We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

The Piano — The sustain pedal mechanism was first added by John Broadwood around 1783, not by Gottfried Silbermann's pupil or Johann Andreas Stein.
The Violin — The 'Kurtz' or 'Amati' violin is not a violin; it is a cello.
The Guitar — The claim that the first commercially successful electric guitar appeared in 1931/1932 is inaccurate because the first commercially successful electric guitar was the Rickenbacker 'Frying Pan' in 1932, but the entry's phrasing may conflate this with the first
The Guitar — The patent filing date of 1932 (granted 1934) is ambiguous because the entry does not specify which electric guitar patent is referenced, potentially misleading readers into thinking there is a single patent for all electric guitars.
The Flute — The entry states 'Earliest known examples=Paleolithic flutes, c. 53,000–45,000 years ago (Swabian Jura, Germany)' but the oldest confirmed flutes from the Swabian Jura are the Geißenklösterle flutes dated to 42,000–43,000 years ago; the 53,000–45,000 year rang
The Flute — The entry says 'Oldest confirmed flute=Hohle Fels flute (c. 35,000 years ago) and Geißenklösterle flutes (42,000–43,000 years ago)' but this is contradictory: the Geißenklösterle flutes are older, so the Hohle Fels flute is not the oldest confirmed; the phrasi

The Harp — [contradicted] The page states the earliest known date for harps is c. 3000 BCE, and earliest depictions in Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, etc., but the source says the pub was known as The Welsh Harp until 1995, taken over by Binnie Walsh, and later sold to Full
The Didgeridoo — [contradicted] The didgeridoo was developed by Aboriginal peoples of northern Australia at least 1,000 years ago. :: The source says 'Archaeological studies suggest that people of the Kakadu region in Northern Australia have been using the didgeridoo for less
The Didgeridoo — [contradicted] The didgeridoo was developed by Aboriginal peoples of northern Australia at least 1,000 years ago. :: The source says 'There are no reliable sources of the exact age of the didgeridoo'
The Oboe — [contradicted] The oboe's highest note is a semitone lower than the nominally highest note of the B♭ clarinet, while the clarinet's lowest note is a minor sixth deeper. :: flagged by an independent model family (deepseek-v4-flash) against the source article; t
The Oboe — [contradicted] The oboe's history includes its use as the main melody instrument in early military bands before being succeeded by the clarinet. :: flagged by an independent model family (deepseek-v4-flash) against the source article; the same-family audit mis
