Thanks Tony,

but I don't understand your suggestion, sorry. The
normalization is a process that eliminates redundancy, organizes
data efficiently, reduces the potential for anomalies during data
operations and improves data consistency (from wikipedia). 

Do you see some anomalies or other strange things in my table?

How can I normalize the table instead of altering it to add a new
instrument to the existing table (I'm using postgre)?
