Ok, i was playing a bit on Bria with my Musician Moonoo, and it feels kind of empty to have all these cool new songs without a new instrument. So I did some thinking and came to think of the instrument the little dude in Jabba's Palace plays, the Harmonica like instrument? It's in Episode VI (Return of the Jedi) I believe

I don't know what it's called, but it's obvious that what a funk-song and a western song needs is a harmonica-sound to it!
No doubts about it!

Then my friend Anan'coand me did some thinking together and came up with that this instrument could be included in a musician quest just like the song "Western", if you manage to do something not too hard, but not too easy, you get to learn how to make these cool harmonicas and you also get certified to play them ofcourse!

Lay it on me, what do you think?
Does this instrument have a future?

I would just love to see the ability to have more than the 5 sounds currently. 2 horns, 1 keyboard, 1 beat machine, 1 mandoviol and you have all 5 sounds. Each one should have a UNIQUE sound to begin with





BTW I am a AFK AND ATK Enteratiner. So deal with it and stop crying about AFK or ATK Entertainers.

A harmonica sound would rock! I can think of some really neat flourishes with one .

I never thought much of the harmonica (even as a Blues Traveler fan) until I listened to Eric Clapton's "Me and Mr. Johnson." It's great for a bluesy sound, which SWG could use smarmily.

Who decided every addition to SWG should be a rutabaga?

Doesn't the bandfill have a unique sound? It's bass and percussion, correct?

(My character can't play it yet, so I don't have much experience with that instrument.)

It's the same sound as the Ommni Box, which is probably what is referred to as the "beat machine" there. But yes, it's bass and percussion.

Dream on brother..
Devs are only interested in taking things away from us.. not giving us new things.. yea i hear them say the same old tired line " we have future plans for blahblahblah..." ive been hearing that same old bull since day 1 of the launch and ive seen very few promises kept. New instruments are an excellent idea... but i just dont see it happening.

Now i didn't mean a harmonica sound on that "harmonica" instrument, in the movies it sounds very distorted and very modified.

The instrument is heard on one of the tracks listed in the jukebox you can buy from your local "Player Event Promoter"
