Hey All-

So, I was one of those guys in college who you could always find sitting under a tree with someone playing an acoustic guitar. I'd love to work that into a character here, but am unsure of it's relevance in the Harry Potter world.

So, all you aficionados of Harry Potterdom out there who are far more well-versed than I am. Do muggle instruments have a place in Harry Potter-world? And I understand that there's not much I can really do in game to show this than to have my character sit in the Entrance Hall and say "*so and so sits and strums a guitar in an ever changing melody that seems to be made up as it goes along*." But hey, you guys all have great imaginations, right?

(on a side note, I really wish this world could have some kind of name that didn't force us to refer to the main character every time /rant )

Yeah, the instruments have a place. But you'd have to go about getting one In Character, as they do exist in the Module itself.

Interesting! I'll have to keep that in mind. I can't imagine one would find them in wizarding stores and such... Something new to ponder.

Maybe its just me but I can't see magic users being behind the times in everything. Including the pompous purebloods. I would like to think that they have enough muggle knowledge or whatever that instruments are not alien to them.

There are some places to RP acquiring a musical instrument if you desire one. Though I'll leave it at "FOIG" where they are. Also musical instrument acquisition requires DM involvement. So please make sure that a DM is available and notify us that you wish to RP the acquisition of an instrument.
