A sample round with music

The secret word is Guitar. With hints on, the imposter sees only “Music” and “Strings”. Crew players each give one word that proves they know it, without naming its most obvious feature. The imposter listens, then gives a word that fits both the hint and the clues so far. When the vote comes, the crew looks for the clue that fits music in general but not guitar in particular.
