I'm pretty certain that you're right.  I've commented it out;
if/when somebody takes this section, they can decide whether to
definitely delete it or not.

IMO, yes.  (although in this specific case, it might be better to
direct people to the keyboard section)

We don't have any *specific* support for bowed strings -- slurs,
\upbow, \harmonic are all covered in NR 1.  But there was
overwhelming desire for a central collection of links to docs that
related to specific instrument groups.  That's the whole idea of
the "REferences for XXX" -- there's no new material in there; it's
just links to the appropriate places in NR 1.
