#### Musical Instruments and a Stage! Dobro, hurdy gurdy, taiko, etc.

Now that we've got venues, we need musicians!
Each instrument would work somewhat like a cross between a music box and the firefly whistle. This might get a little complicated, but it would be REALLY COOL.
So, you could play each one either just for yourself, or "for the crowd."
Each instrument would have about three tunes or rhythms that would be chosen randomly each time you play one. They might not always sound fantastic together, but most combinations would be entertaining at least.
They give bonuses like music blocks, but when played together "for the crowd", they'd give extra bonuses, including some kickback to the players!
The stage would be a piece of furniture you could put in your towers. Playing "for the crowd" might be limited to only when you are on the stage, or it might not, depending on whether you need to control how often that is done for game mechanics or server issues.
This idea, of course, would go very well together with the tip jar!

  Did someone say Drums already? A deep tribal drum would be cool.
  Could be a new Music Skill set. Have to learn the particular skill to play a certain instrument.
  Once learned, the instrument purchased (made?), the glitch 'Activates' the instrument then different keystrokes gives different tones, highs or lows, (la LA LA lalalalala LA) would be j, k, l maybe. We can play for those in the room or nearby. If glitches don't want to hear it, they mute their Music.

- Well, the main reason to maybe restrict just how often it's played out loud, or to give people the option of just playing for themselves for practice, is to cut down on the required processing power for unsuspecting Glitches. Much like the concern is for splanking. If you know that you're likely to hear group music near a stage and your computer can't handle it, you just don't go near 'em!
  But, TS can test and assess that.

- +1, in another thread stoot said that they had worked on a collaborative sequencer for playing music, and that it would hopefully show up in glitch eventually! I think what you mentioned here would be a cool addition to that, to have a musician skill and have it give you iMG and maybe mood to play, and have it give other people mood and energy when they listen, or maybe even occasional bonuses, like an increase in skill learning time, or a bit of iMG, or who knows what.
