I'm a bard and I'm trying to play a song, but no matter what I choose, I get a message saying:

Are you sure that's the right instrument?

What am I doing wrong?

To be precise, this is the command I'm using:

play scales off-key on lute

Try using "my lute" versus just "lute," there may be an object in the room you're unintentionally attempting to interact with.

> play scales off-key on lute <

Try--> play scale off lute or play scale off on lute

ie. play scal off whist
You effortlessly begin some off-key scales on your bone whistle, your heart swelling in pride at your hard-earned skill.

Depending on how new your are to DR, I believe that there's an in-game CHATTER command for folks who may be having trouble with certain mechanics/systems/etc. You might get some faster responses there!

What Sortik suggested. Also, if you're holding the lute, you could just try play scales off-key. The Play command will default to the instrument you're holding: I found that out while running up a hundred or so performance ranks.

Good luck!
