Emote Request - Musical Instruments

Wasn't sure where to put this suggestion so figured just throw it in here.

Anyway I was doing some questing in the Azim Steppe and came across this NPC.

I thought it would be nice to have this as an emote. We already have things like dances that we can do, why not have some music to go with it. Doesn't have to be anything too complex like being able to make your own melodies or anything, can be simple pre-recorded stuff like in the video.

Maybe have a variety of instruments each with different melodies, so you can get people together and combine the melodies of different instruments to make an ensemble. Sort of like what you can do with the musical instrument furnishings that we already have in game. This video comes to mind.

I'm sure some people will say it will be annoying to have tons of people all playing their instruments all the time in town, so also create an option to turn off the sounds from these emotes if you want.

Thanks for reading. :)

I want the rat-calling flute from earliest WoW.

Something like this would be cool too.

Yes, please! I'd love this!
I also wouldn't mind a "talk" emote.

More emotes is always good, and these would be very neat to have.

I used to play Aion before XIV and one thing I loved from there (besides the swirly dancing penguin spell) were the violin, guitar and drums emotes, they'd play a pre-recorded song or 2 and lasted until you decided to cancel. It was pretty fun to go in the middle of the cities and start playing. So, in short, yes to musical instruments <3 especially if we can mesh them together with other players and make a more complex melody.

I want a piano or a saxophone.

I am going to play devil's advocate a little here..

The issue I have with instrument emotes is that presumably the songs would play while the zone music is playing as well.. And that will just simply sound awful. And if it interrupts the zone music (and stops it) then that's even worse.
Further onto this, if you want to toggle the sound fx of the instrument emotes off, you would likely have to toggle off "voices" which means you will lose out on all of the normal emotes and battle voices..

Why not just make it like the Regal Letter Box (aka flashy kupo mail box)? The sound effect will only come into play if you're in close proximity, meanwhile the zone music will continue playing in the background. Maybe soften it while you're in the effect of the music emote?

Oh man! A guitar emote would be awesome! I hope they take instruments emote for consideration.

I'm all for more role-playing emotes. Especially the eating, drinking, exercising and talking animations we see NPCs do already.

They announced the new bard emotes and reminded me of this lol so far only a flute (and we control the notes instead of being prerecorded) but seems there WILL be more instruments down the line.

It's nice but I wish we didn't have to be on bard job to use the feature of the game.
