Some good things, but I think "Blues-Harfe" for blues harp is probably wrong, as it is probably "Blues Mundharmonika" or simply "Blues Harp" in German. I think.

Although the rest looks pretty good, and fairly comprehensive.

Thanks.

A descriptive approach was taken in the compilation of my dictionary. The word Blues Harfe, as funny as it may sound, appears on the website of a German university and was included for that reason.

Thanks for all your input, tell me if anything else looks wrong. I was very careful in translation but one makes mistakes when compiling a dictionary with over 2000 words! Thanks to you to Kim, for mentioning my resource here.
