The outdoor area is not instanced but shared with everyone on the map, so...^^

He kind of just said private rooms (Personal Chambers) would be able to use it. Though it'd be separate from the actual house and would most likely require it's own Orchestrion in the same way that you're required to purchase your own TT thing to be able to play in your private room separate from the FC house.

We previously mentioned a jukebox like furnishing called the Orchestrion, and this is finally confirmed for Patch 3.2. This furnishing will allow players to change the music inside the inn, housing, and personal chambers by collecting sheet music.

Since we made the announcement, our friends over in Japan received some questions related to this item, so I wanted to share this information with everyone.



The music played by the orchestrion can be heard by all players inside the house. However, since private chambers and the workshop are different areas, it will not apply to players who are in these areas.



Unlike the current existing musical instrument furnishings, this feature will change the BGM itself.

Please , PLEASE add the 1.0 soundtrack to this feature. Even if its just a couple tracks at a time.

Will there be a way to change the music in the workshop as well?
I spend a lot of time there so changing the music would be nice.

this

and 1.0 music for the love of god please lol

I've mentioned this before but I'm going to say it again...

We need, I can't stress this enough, NEED a way to re-purchase previous seasonal event housing items if we took part in the event; similar to how we can do this for Seasonal Gear from the Calamity Salvager.

Paying the 500k - 1+ mil each subsequent year to players via the MB is NOT an acceptable solution. We shouldn't have to hoard/clutter our limited bag space with 20+ of each seasonal housing item in the chance that we may want to use those items at a later date (I'm looking at you Empty Twinkle Boxes and Cherry Blossom Trees). Especially considering items like wallpapers are consumed on use and can't be restored if we change away from them. I don't know about anyone else but I don't want to keep Christmas Wallpaper up year round. :/

I would really love a seasonal tree. Something the size and shape of the cherry blossom tree would be great. It could be dynamic based on seasons or maybe it could be changed by clicking on it. Cycling through clicks would be my preference, but I don't know how doable that would be. How about colored blossoms (or even budding blossoms) for spring, green leaves for summer, orange and yellow leaves for fall, and bare branches for winter?

Above all else, it would be nice to have a taller generic looking tree with green leaves, if anything above is just asking too much. The Thanalan and Shroud trees are just not big and leafy enough.

Speaking of trees, some dead and rotten looking trees would be a neat addition for people who want some creepy outdoor items. Maybe some sort of gravestone as well?

Can't agree enough with that. I love the wallpapers they have for seasonal events but I don't want to stare at a bat or a pumpkin or a snowy winter landscape all year long when I look out my window and see bright summery sunshine. Most important though: Cherry Trees. They are 8 Million on my Server! Eight! I mean... EIGHT!!!! >_> I don't even... I'm sitting on two unused of those currently from when I bought them at the NPC and it never was such a tough decision to sell something or not. There needs something to be done about it.

I finally managed to get a house last Christmas.

atm I am having only one pet peeve and that is why on earth does the character port in so far from the door? I wanted to make a nice hallway with a counter for my servants but when enter the house I end up getting stuck in the wall >_>.
