What does "limited note" instrument mean? Technically all instruments have range limitations. Do you mean instruments that can only produce a single note?

I've always wanted to play a bard that was like a wardrummer. Big congos hanging from his waist, a bass drum on his back.

Kazoo.

I guess if I had to specify I would prefer single note, but something like a slide whistle may also fit the bill. Basically, it's an instrument that has you could see being sold at a dollar store. Or at the very least a one trick pony, pitch wise

Can't believe that hasn't crossed my mind yet. Also, what's the name of those little, I dunno, "clack"-y things that are used in Mexican music?

Why not a sub-contrabass flute?

Oh, okay, cool. Well, percussion will probably be your best bet, or something like this, which is someone singing and blowing across a bottle. youtube.com/watch?v=4bjPlBC4h_8

The clacky things are called castanets.

Cowbell.

Hmm, maybe pushing it but the big thing is he has a santa sack where he keeps it all, so it's probably fine

Motherfucking shruti box

Something that might pique your interest but is sadly too big to work for you is the boom-ba from Pennsylvania. It's basically a pogo stick covered in the type of instruments you are looking for.

Forgot an image

Rape whistle.

The Theremin is the best of all possible weird instruments.

It produces a spooky wailing sound a bit like a violin, but has no moving parts and is controlled by interacting with its magnetic fields by making cool wizard gestures in the air near it.

Jaw Harp

vuvuzela

That would be expensive, even if it was made by magic bullshit. Hell, especially if it was made by magic bullshit.

Man, I remember when youtube had that fucking button. Still, it's a good choice.

Tempting but I might use it for another bard.
still worth listening to. Also apparently called a Stumpf Fiddle.

Neat. Glad this thread has inspired more characters!

Glass harmonica. The sound it produced drives people insane.

>“There may be various reasons for the scarcity of armonica players, principally the almost universally shared opinion that playing it is damaging to the health, that it excessively stimulates the nerves, plunges the player into a nagging depression and hence into a dark and melancholy mood, that it is an apt method for slow self-annihilation… Many (physicians with whom I have discussed this matter) say the sharp penetrating tone runs like a spark through the entire nervous system, forcibly shaking it up and causing nervous disorders. If you are suffering from any nervous disorder you should not play it, If you are not yet ill you should not play it excessively. If you are feeling melancholy you should not play it or else play uplifting pieces. If tired, avoid playing it late at night.”

Size mainly. His thing is having a bunch of instruments. I got the idea by being in a similar thread as this and thinking the death whistle would be fun to have as an intimidation helper. (faking the bard is a psycho murderer or something) then having the idea of having a bunch of one note instruments. I think a quirk he'll have is that his instruments are for one spell and he HAS to use that instrument for that spell.

Also while I'm coming up with more things I found out there's also a Jaguar whistle.

Holy shit that sounds RIDICULOUSLY accurate. Wish it had proper subtitles.

You mean the mother humping pole smoking mouth 'fucking' harp.
