I agree regarding Tuor's "gaunt limbs" and "unkempt locks". Not that I think he was necessarily well-groomed at this point, having just endured quite a journey through the wilderness. But it seems out of keeping his description in the later 'Tuor', and to be on the safe side, I think we should omit it.

However, he definitely did have a harp. When he is passing down the Firth of Drengist he plays it, and his song is echoed by the Lammoth; page 26 in the Ballantine paperback UT. So I think we should keep that.

I also agree that a vote on the names would be going a bit overboard.
