I'm curious as to whether there are racial modifiers on instrument types. My Prydaen can played strings much better with less ranks than winds or percussions. Granted, he's just starting and is using beginner intstruments, but he can already play arpeggios confidently with slight difficulty, where as he struggles to even start playing scales off-key with his whistle or a halting ruff with his tambourine. Winds and percussion were higher ranks, but now that strings appear to be natural to him, those ranks are climbing fast and are now higher than winds and percussion. Any help and ideas on how to rememdy this will be appreciated. Then again, with less than 20 ranks in each, I may perhaps just have to wait it out until my skill grows.

Thanks,

HEH, heyo Sasabee, been a while. Thanks for the response. Seems your thinking is along the same lines as mine. Since Prydaens have fangs, I can see them having difficulty with winds, and possibly claws causing problems with percussions, while claws give benifits to strings. Since I've noticed that my character actually has these difficulties, I just wanted to see if there are actually racial modifiers applied to music lore.

Thanks Shavay. So is there a possibility that I could pick up easier instruments, which would almost be pointless now since I've almost worked through the trouble. Just would like to know for future reference.

Get this one. It's got an awesome screen that I don't really use for anything, and backlit keys that are actually useful. And USB ports, which are nice. It's not very ergonomic, but it is... uh... rectangular.

But get it from Newegg. It's cheaper.

Way more expensive than what I need, for features that I don't need. And I want ergonomic. Some may not like it (it does take some getting used to), but after my old ergonomic fizzled out, believe me, I felt the difference going back to a standard keyboard.

And...umm...(to get back on topic)...whatdya think ergonomically designed instruments would look like? :D

Something that would raise red flags for that one guy who says we can't promote drug use in the game. :D

>> Sasabee, oboes are one of the hardest wind instruments out there. If you weren't having a hard time with it, I'd be impressed.

Just be grateful Silvyrfrost does not require us to make our own reeds for them. Now THAT's not pretty to learn at ALL.

Although, it'd probably teach well!

You have nothing to fear from Dart, so long as he keeps that Instrument Rewrite firmly in his sights (if he does, then he thinks of everything.) It's only when he gets distracted with other things such as the upcoming performance combos (clap, stomp, various dance moves, "body music" (armpits, nose flutes, and so on), etc) that trigger the "ooh, me likey".
