New Instruments and shanties

@ubernorman said in New Instruments and shanties:

Please consider adding further instruments and songs.

Fiddle (violin), pennywhistle (tin whistle), fife (small flute), ships or war drums, other variations of banjo (mandolin), hornpipes, tambourine with bottlecaps, Cavaquinho (Postuguese style ukulele). Even if some are just cosmetic differences for some stringed instruments would be great.

Some very popular sea shanties.
Drunken Sailor
Blow the Man Down
Spanish Ladies
Soon May the Wellerman Come

I imagine adding more instruments and shanties is a tremendous amount of work, due to a few reasons:

• A team must sit down and create/record the shanties.
• Old shanties must be adapted to new instruments.
• Old instruments must be adapted to new shanties.
• All skins must be adapted to new instrments.

, and probably a bunch of more reasons that are far from my comprehension, like copyrights and whatnot.

But yeah, I do agree, and I too want to see more shanties and instruments!
