Music Is Life Series: The CITY Beat Mystery Cache

This cache is a series of caches that is placed near some of the music stores in the area. Jewel loves percussion and any music store is a favorite of his. Therefore, he decided to put some caches in the vicinity of his favorite places to visit.

Cache is a small pill bottle, black in color. It contains a log and a small pencil.

The coordinates for this cache do not actually take you to the cache. That's a good thing because there is already a cache nearby. Instead, the coordinates only take you near the music store. The actual cache is nearby, within walking distance.

To find the actual coordinates and claim your cache, you must find the answers to some trivia questions about music theory and instruments. The questions are lettered according to the coordinates format below. Every answer is a number.
