Recent Humpday Triviola

Thomas Skaggs, Foothills of Mount Level

So I have watched with interest the remarkable rescue of the miners in Chile. I hope all continues to go well. Over two months down there those guys were hungry for morale boosting. To help, an item constructed of wood was lowered down weeks ago per one of the miner's request. What was it?

Hint

I don't know the diameter of the earlier hole but I doubt a full size one of them could fit. Maybe it was an "O"?

That's it.  Answer

Yep, one of the miners requested a guitar and they managed to get one down there to him. With it he played and the other miners sang along for morale boosting. I don't really know the type of guitar but assume it was a small form.

Good job Fred!
