here, let's clear some things up right now.

octavia plays music. people know treble clefs (CLEF, NOT CLEFT) better than bass clefs, so that's what they used. this show is aimed at little kids who don't know what a treble clef is. does anyone see a percussionist pony with a percussion clef cutie mark? no. i bet most of you have never SEEN a percussion clef, or even know that we HAVE our own clef! but you're expecting little girls to know a bass clef?

octavia plays a stringed instrument. it is shaped like a violin or a viola or a cello or a bass, and i'm sure there are other things it is shaped like that i can't name. all of those things are played with a bow, including a bass.

that said, why are we arguing over the human name for an instrument shown for a few minutes in a show about ponies? it doesn't even matter! ponies can't play stringed instruments because, last i checked, fingerings require fingers!

now go do something productive like making pretty fanart or helping the wiki or something, instead of arguing about things that don't even matter!
