I was just thinking I'd love to see an organ or piano - maybe one too big to get out of the door to the building? So it would just be stationary, like a chair.

Brave! A pipe organ in a temple!
Cantr II is a social simulator. What is not working is due a problem in the society.
Cantr is like Vegas - what happens in the game should be in the game.

:idea:
The didgeridoo:
Made of wood, a rim of beeswax may be applied to the mouthpiece end.

The rainmaker...
Hollowed out wooded instrument with small slides or bumps inside, filled with sand or rice to simulate the sound of rain.

Vuvuzela, I hate those things, but it would be fun to roleplay the annoying sound. Could really get under someones skin. Could make it out of wood or something. I don't know. We have oil couldn't we make some crude form of plastic. Use a mold in the kiln.

Seriously not in the mood to search for anything that's not already on this page, so here I go.

A whole line of piccolos! :mrgreen:

Primitive wooden piccolo: 100g wood
Tools needed: chisel, carving knife

Wooden piccolo: 100g wood, 10g nickel OR 5g nickel & 5g silver
Zinc piccolo (these exist IRL): 125g zinc
Silver-plated piccolo: 80g nickel, 20g silver
Silver piccolo: 125g silver
Gold piccolo: 125g gold
Tools needed: carving knife (wooden piccolo only), chisel, screwdriver, peen hammer

The wooden ones should definitely rot faster but be less expensive as far as repairs go. The metal ones take longer to rot but also to repair.

I suppose a few in the list can be deleted, but they're all possibilities. It would also open up some good roleplay opportunies (a.k.a. headaches).

Yes! PIANO!
