Any other appropriate instruments, even if not suggested above, may play.
Although the score is presented with layout appropriate for string quartet this does not indicate a preferred instrumentation.
Examples of the 'clicks/taps/pops etc.' indicated by the X noteheads at the beginning and end of the piece include:
Woodwind - instrument key clicks or slaps, slapping the bell aperture of clarinet or oboe with palm of the hand
Brass - tapping the instrument bell with fingernail, slapping top of mouthpiece with palm to produce a 'mouthpiece pop'
Strings - tapping the body of the instrument with fingers.
