Before I go haring off to Aesry, are castanets playable using only one hand?
>play concerto masterful
Taking a deep breath, you begin to play your cherry bagpipes. A low, steady drone fills the air.
You fumble slightly as you begin a masterful concerto on your cherry bagpipes.

You begin a masterful concerto on your silver txistu with only the slightest hint of difficulty.
Definitely a difficulty difference.

I know several of us did a lot of testing with instruments years ago (like 2002 or something) I'd be interested in testing them again to see how the difficulty scales...I don't see a lot of difference in my main instruments but then I use a set of Zills, a Lyra Viol and a Txistu. Plus my utility spoons for drums and such.
That's the huge teaching range I mentioned before. Even the easiest instruments will teach for 100's of ranks because of song type and moods. The hardest instruments start teaching well at 300ish ranks so there's overlap for a couple hundred ranks.
I.e. the single biggest factor for learning is song and mood. Instrument is only a factor at low or high ranks when there's several instruments that are too hard or too easy, respectively.
