I'll use Pair E in the future.

Pair I: Andrea del Sarto/Rosso

Next clue from

cmt?
yk?
A random soul?

I've procrastinated so much in making up a new clue that now I'm just going to post something very short and easy to get things moving again.

This is the name of an Italian bagpipe. 8 letters. The 6th is the g from Perugino.

I thought this would be a quick one that anyone new might answer.

I did check the clue and I actually don't know. Didn't want to Google (been busy blogging about the trip).

As you said, someone new can take a turn.

I'm not new but, zampogna.

I always lurk on these crossword threads to see if I can answer any of the clues. Most are out of my league even with a google here and there, this one I actually knew!

You just need to learn to be smarter with Google, Lewis.

Lewis, it's your turn to make up a clue. See the first post of the thread for guidelines. It will be nice to have someone new playing!

OK, building on the letter O, O being the first letter, a big seaside resort come busy channel port whose name inexplicably belies the fact that it is about as far west in Belgium as it is possible to go.

oops, 6 letters, sometimes more depending on which language you use!

Ostend

Correct! Next?

Romani/Gypsy member of the European Parliament.

First name: 5 letters
Last name: 6 letters; 4th is the O from Ostend.

From the _________ (6 letters; 5th is S from Ostend) party, which is considered center-right.

Grew up in the town of ______(6 letters; last is N from Ostend) in the country of ________(7 letters).

Livia Jaroka
Member of Fidesz party
Born in Hungary
Can't find town regardless of how I Google.

Google some more. I know you'll find it. I'd never heard of her and found her by Googling on Gypsy topics. Then once you find and post the name of the town, go ahead and post the next clue, just in case I'm not around to tell you you're 100% right--which you WILL be in a few minutes when you find it.

P.S.

Sopron, Hungary.

If someone else would like to take a turn while I am trying to think up a clue, go ahead.

100% correct.

16th century historian, geographer, and religious figure from (country: 7 letters) who produced pioneering written descriptions and drawings of these crystals (10 letters in plural; 5th is F from Fidesz).

First name: 5 letters (2nd is L from Livia)
Second name: 6 letters (2nd is A from Jaroka)

I'm trying to "top" this and the post won't take. I hope it doesn't end up showing up three times.

Sorry. I meant that the country has SIX letters, not seven. The number 6 is also related to the topic of study referred to in the above clue.

(I hope I didn't make any other counting errors.)
