[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 3556340, member: 34175"] Actually, as I posted in #23 - that is probably VERY realistic. The trombone is too fragile, the other items you have mentioned are not. The recorder (and other whistles) has been a travel instrument for millenea, spoons are commonly made and easily replaceable as well as portable, the triangle is a bent iron rod, and the Highland regiments of the British Army have been carrying bagpipes into battle since the 1500s (the highlanders themselves, long before that). As for the personality, bards are bards -as a IRL performer (or at least I was), while I have the tools of my trade in my hands, I AM the center of attention, I AM the spotlight (and I'm a drummer). The challenge is not what the bard while he/she is being abard, the conunmdrum is, what is the bard when hs/she is himself/herself; oft times, that person is introverted and completely unsure of themselves, they hide that with being overt. There is a saying - 'moody musician' - let your mind wrap around that for awhile and go from there. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
