10:50 am

sprite

Found one T8/40 that sounds feminine ;)

10:52 am

sprite

And the other one... most camplike?

10:57 am

Treble99

Could you help a bit more on the feminine clue please.

11:00 am

sprite

Actually, it is a plural for a small end-blown flute of simple construction and narrow range... but the word sounds feminine.

11:23 am

sarcasticah

The flute one sounds like backup singers to me... :-)

11:27 am

sprite

That's it! :D
