Thank you djawhufc!
The Listener clues get more obscure!!

I know it's late in the week, but has taken me ages to get the letters for the theme. Have most of the letters for the instructions and think I know all of the solutions, but can anyone help with wordplay for 15ac, 17ac, 2d, 3d and 9d. Thanks.

Josephine - hopefully this will help.
15Ac YR inside AE. Misprint Y in THYME
17Ac ALB - ANY (some) misprint of O in REALO
2Dn A W (wife) RONG (look up in Chambers) Misprint of K in STALK
3Dn Not sure how this one works but misprint of M in MERSE to give DAMOISEL
9Dn OU - A - BAIN (check your French Dictionary!) Misprint of A in SACK

Good luck!

Brilliant. All finished now. I nearly gave up many times. Had to do a spreadsheet to work out the messages. Thanks for the help.

This is a bit pathetic, but I still can't work out how to make the required number of folds.

demeter - think symmetrically and keep in mind the technical requirement implied in the second instruction, and how you might go about it. You might need to experiment a bit.

Are the folds vertical?

Yes. Try thinking about the approximate proportions of a (last word of the instructions) and how you might emulate one.

In order to orientate your instrument, locate both the KEYBOARDs

In that case I am struggling to understand how all the folds can be vertical (as stated previously) ?
