Shantymen have set up shop in the taverns bringing with them a piano to play at the outposts. Looking for new songs and old instruments, pirates bring them what they can find along their travels.
Shanties / Sheet Music
With this the instruments could have a selection wheel much like 'pirate chat' allowing them which song to play.
credit to the 'Keelhaued' Podcast where I first heard the idea
Find Sheet Music in messages in bottles, pirates stuggle to read so they take the sheet to the shantymen so they can teach them the new song. A small reward of gold for sharing their find with them, the player can now play this song like any other at will.
Instruments
Many lost and unkown instruments broken and barnacled. Players can find parts and pieces of these instruments underwater and along the shores of island to give to the shanty men. When a player has handed in all missing pieces they are rewarded with a new instrument.
New instruments made from pirates, skeletons, the ancients and even the mermaids. such as;
-Violin
-Bagpipes
-Harp
-(Pan) Flute
-Hand Bell
-Xylophone (Skeleton's ribcage has to be done)
-Seashell intruments made by the mermaids.
Comment your own and i'll add it.
Thoughts? What else could be added and what purposes could the instruments serve?
