Suggestion description
I propose that instruments can be found in every school in the entire of malton (as pretty much all schools in most countries have music lessons).

Of course as with all of these kinds of suggestions, the sounds made by the instruments can be chosen to be ignored in the settings.

When you see someone playing an instrument you would see:

XXXX played an Experimental song on the .... XXXX played a low and solemn tune on the ...

This could be used at the end of a seige when all the survivors are dead etc.

The tunes

After getting a few ideas this from the talk section, this is it.

As stated before, in any school you can find one of these instruments at 6% search rate:

• Bugle (Brass)- 2% encumbrance
• Trumpet(Brass) - 3% encumbrance
• Trombone (Brass) - 5% encumbrance
• Drum - 6% encumbrance
• Acoustic Guitar - 5% encumbrance
• Bagpipes at 4% encumbrance (found in all mansions in malton)

Originally i had suggested that both humans and zombies could play, but thinking of the needless spam that would be caused, i decided to only make it so that humans could play them.

Brass/Bagpipes - "You fiddle around with your instrument and begin to play a...

• Battle cry
• Solemn Tune
• Funky/Experimental tune
• Jazz song
• tune to a fast march
• a long drawn out low/high pitched note
• The Last Call."

Drum - "Raising 2 of the many drumsticks you found at the side of the drum you..

• You bang on the drum making a loud marching beat
• You play an original drum riff
• You play the drum beat to a popular rock song."

Guitar - "You move your hands across the guitar strings:

• Making a few chord riffs
• Fingerpicking a romantic love song.
• Making a basic tune.
• Fingerpicking a famous guitar riff."

When you do play an instrument (for 1AP), as a human you can choose what you want to play on all of the instruments. I think it would be nice use of flavour as well as a good item which people can use. I'm also sure a few groups (inspired by the drama club's idea of doing bits of plays) could do various concerts at buildings, which would be interesting and fun to watch. Thanks for everyone's help in making the suggestion!
