Tuiseal ginideach of instruments

tufterween

Trying to say 'ag seinm ______' but i know it takes the tuiseal ginideach.
Can anyone help me with the following instruments:
Giotár
Veidhlín
Druma

And any other commonly used instruments that I've left out that you can think of.
Thanks a million

I assume you are thinking mainly of the construction
"tá sí ag seinm an ghiotáir".
For many people, it would be more natural, and better Irish to say:
"tá an giotár á sheint/á chasadh aici", or
"tá an fhidil á seint/á casadh aici", or
"tá na spúnóga á seint/á gcasadh aici".

That also allows you to forget the genitive case - but you then have to remember that the noun and verbal noun must agree.
i.e.
séimhiú on seint/casadh if noun (giotár) is masculine singular
no séimhiú on seint/casadh if noun (fidil) is feminine singular
urú on seint/casadh if noun (spúnóga) is plural (except s doesnt take an urú!).
