A lot more song will be playable with the sharp and flat note, why not use the profession skill key for those note ? (f1-f5). Out of all the instruments in the gem store only Harp and lute has 3 octave, so those are the best buy. Please make all instrument has 3 octave and add sharp and flat note, bring more music into game.

They really need to add a didgeridoo. Imagine the possibilities.

I’ve been asking for this roughly once every 2 months here and I second it too.

I’m sick and tired of butchering the opening to Freebird because i can’t have that F# in it. Forget any song that key changes (Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera) or plays in a nearby key (Rush’s Closer to the Heart, U2’s Beautiful Day).

A good key change can change the entire feel of the song even if the melody and chord progression are the same otherwise. Lord of the Rings “In Dreams” changes key after the bridge from C to D and it gives the end of the song a whole new meaning.

My suggestion is the same as yours too.
Map the semitones to the F keys: (note that the sharp for one note is the flat of the note above it)
C# = F1
D# = F2
F# = F3
G# = F4
A# = F5

The following changes should be included too (if possible. I’d be willing to settle for semitones even if nothing else is done):
-Magnaminious Bell: Add a low octave.
-Flute, Trumpet: move these into Key of C (they’re in E right now)
-Flute: Give it a low octave
-Unbreakable Choir bell, (breakable) choir bell: Fix the notes to start on C instead of D, give it the ability to do chords.
-Bass: Improve its ability to do Chords. It has a note play lag right now. Also tone down the distortion a bit, it doesn’t quite fit in well with the other sounds.
-xLute: Name the chords in chord mode so we know what they are (I’m pretty sure they’re C, G, F, Am, G7 but I can’t tell), Change the sound to more like a modern acoustic guitar.

The acoustic guitar sound is my preference. I think the lute sound is a little muted and not very pretty. A good acoustic guitar sound would make the lute more popular of an instrument.

PS: xLute is the Lute. The forum profanity filter is a bit too powerful, crossing between lines of text even.
