more model basics - mny to many's

Hiya.
I am not a web developer, okay, just trying to do a band
website (so
take it easy on me, please ;)
I am having trouble with my models.

I have the following:

class musician(meta.Model):
  .......
class instrument(meta.Model):
  .......
class song(meta.Model):
  ......
class songInstrument(meta.Model):
  song = meta.ForeignKey(song, edit_inline=meta.TABULAR,
core=True)
  instrument = meta.ForeignKey(instrument)
  musician = meta.ForeignKey(musician)
  def __repr__(self):
    return "%s, %s, %s" % (self.get_song(),
self.get_musician(),
self.get_instrument())
  class META:
    admin = meta.Admin()

So each song has many musicians playing many instruments
(ie. Jerry
might have played drums and bass and read Chaucer in a
particular
song). This is great, and when I add a song in the admin
section, I can
add all this detail, but when I look at songInstrument in
admin, there
are no entries??

Can anyone tell me:
a) where have I gone wrong?
b) is there an easier way to set up these (and similar)
models?

thanks, 
and keep up to good work, django ist fun

what do you need the table songInstrument for?
iŽd suggest using a many-to-many relationship ... see
http://www.djangoproject.com/documen
tation/model_api/#many-to-many-relations
hips

class song(meta.Model):
title = ...
duration = ...
instrument = meta.ManyToManyField(instrument)
musician = meta.ManyToManyField(musician)
def __repr__(self):
  return self.title()
class META:
  admin = meta.Admin()
