Inline template for linking to a musician with their instrument icon. Queries the musician's Primary instrument semantic property and displays a small icon with a tooltip.

Usage

{{ShowInstrument|Cory Walker}}

With instrument override:

{{ShowInstrument|Jake Stargel|bass}}

The first form queries the musician's Primary instrument property. The second form overrides it with the specified instrument.

Rotation

Banjo, guitar, mandolin, and ukulele icons are rotated -30° to look natural at a playing angle. Fiddle, bass, dobro, tin whistle, autoharp, and vocals are displayed upright.

Styling

Icons use line-height:0; vertical-align:baseline so they don't affect text flow. They may slightly overlap adjacent text, which is intentional. The vertical-align:baseline overrides MediaWiki's default vertical-align:middle on images.
