Banjoman, hate to correct you, but the banjo is in fact St Peter's instrument, as evidenced by the little tale below:

This chap dies, gets to the pearly gates, and is greeted by St Peter, who says 'before I can let you in, I have to ask your IQ' 'I've got an IQ of 320, the chap proudly answers' 'Excellent' says St Peter, 'In you go, make yourself at home, I'll come and find you in a little while, I've been waiting for someone who I discuss the theory of relativity with'

Next one comes along, and St Peter asks the same question, 'I've got an IQ of 255' he says, 'Terrific, say St Peter, 'In you go, make yourself at home, I'll come and find you in a little while, I've been waiting for someone who I discuss the complete works of Shakespeare with'

Next bloke comes along, and again, the same question, 'I've got an IQ of 35' he says, 'Brilliant' says St Peter, 'In you go, make yourself at home, I'll come and find you in a little while, I've been waiting for someone who I can play dueling banjo's with'
