Ok,
This struck me the other night. How about a new high level quest item. A
magical instrument that could be used for percussion and string. No extra
effect, just dont have to switch instruments. A Banjo!! It is equaly
percussive and stringed. I don't think it would be too hokey. And if you
came up with an instrument like a Concertina (little sailors accordian
thingy) this could do the same for flute and brass.
I do think that an insturment that can do both String and Brass would be
unbalancing and unfair. (it would be great for damage songs).
Comments, thoughts, critisizims?
I think it would be fun to have a banjo.

Sirens and Strike use wind. I would love a special wind
instrument that lets charm last longer, or be more reliable,
or gets us past the L37 limit. It'd also be nice if it
allowed Strike to have an accompanying memory blur, so you
could use it more like the enchanters mesmerize - Strike the
green mob and it forgets about you.
A special stringed instrument would not be bad either.
Improved healing is probably out of the question, but how
about improved Lullaby?
Also, there seems to be a hole in the percussion instruments
(Mistmoore drum is a 20% boost, Selo's Drum is a 30% boost).
It might be nice to have a L15-20ish mob drop a drum that
gives a 10% boost, though at that level 10% is probably only
a point or two of extra resist.
