I was thinking that a hunting/war horn ala the Horn of Gondor might be a nice addition to the instrument section. I know some people might say this is a little frivolous, but I have given it some thought. The trumpet, though it fills more or less a similar role, struck me as a little formal and not something that would be very practical for a person who travels a lot, like most characters on these boards. Plus, those who have played a brass horn before would probably tell you that they do rust, corrode, are easily damaged by falls or horse-play, and are in general high maintenance, expensive instruments, not to mention that they can be heavy.

So, a ram's horn for the average poor Joe? :xmaslaugh:

I'm confident that Lothy will accept it if you purchase the trumpet, but treat it like a horn.
It's close enough; and as long as you don't attribute any fantastic or magical abilties to it, it should be an acceptable interpretation.

Ok, excellent! I was not sure how much leeway there was for this sort of thing.
