You get interrupted if your opponent succesfully bashes
you. Skellies, Orcs, barbarian Dervs and Bandits all
bash, and you will find it very hard to weave songs. Hard
enough just keeping 1 going in those situations.

Missed notes (fizzles) seem to be related to your
skill in the skill for that song (stringed for Hymm) and
the level of the song.

That's why It's still tough for me to get Aquatic Ayre
going, even if I'm just singing it. my wind skill is only
30 something and my singing is maxed for 16 (85).

Only weight and price, apparently they were going to
make them subtly different, but that didn't get implemented.
