Armonicas! Please implement armonicas! No, I didn't make a spelling error by not adding a "h" before "armonicas." I'm not talking about that! I'm talking about an instrument that plays glass goblets just with the touch of fingers dipped in water, and the many different sized goblets (each sounding a different note) are set up horizontally and spun so that the fingers could just touch it to play it. It's played almost like the piano! Though in history they're very short-lived (that's because the piano came right after it), I find their sounds very heavenly. One woman who heard it played through the walls of her bedroom thought she died and gone to heaven. Second to the grand piano in technology, it would make a great impact in Cantr!

And it's also said that armonicas drive people nuts! But I think they would have to be partially nuts to have these instruments push their buttons, in my opinion.

I know someone who owns a armonica (they collect weird stuff like me). It's a brilliant instrument, it's a shame nobody really plays them anymore.

Cellos! The same resources as violin, but just more of it! :D

I'd have atleast one of my characters make one.
Hmm..though would we have to use a chair to use one...

Is it too late to ask about new instruments or are you guys actually still thinking of adding new ones?

We already have pan flutes. :wink:

I like the banjo, bagpipes, mandolin, cello, accordion, harmonica, .... a few that I recall being mentioned in this thread.

This is the suggestions thread for new instruments. It's like the other suggestion threads for vehicles and clothing and such. Creating new instruments is always a possibility just as those other things, so suggestions are still welcome, I'm sure.

Good, because I would still like having a cello. :D , even if I'd have to use a chair.

If we're going to have violins and cellos, we need violas and basses too. :)

Viols? Early violins, used in the Rennaisance and the Medieval eras.
