Fine Instruments

[The True Bard D'Or, Fine Instruments]
This is THE shop for Bards. Famed far and wide for its range of instruments and things bardic, customers travel far just to shop here and to exchange tunes and to hear the latest gossip from Esmaril the owner. The walls are covered with dozens of music-making devices and glass counters hold strings and reeds and straps. Rows of pigeonholes hold sheet music from a hundred cultures and more. A backroom serves as a performance hall and a place for traveling bards to meet and catch up on goings-on.
You also see the apprentice, a polished lunat counter with a catalog on it and a dark curtain.
Obvious exits: out.

• The counter here is a Donation rack.

Private Showroom (curtain)

[Luthier's, Private Showroom]
Tiny gaethzen globes light the room, adding a soft gleam to the silks draping the displays and tables that feature some of the luthier's more intricate work, available for his most discriminating clients. A settee provides seating, and a small tray offers beverages and snacks to entice those shopping into staying longer -- and buying more. A heavy lined curtain leads back out to the main shop.
Obvious exits: none.

Performance Room (backroom)

[Luthier's, Performance Room]
Tucked behind the Luthier's shop, this room serves as impromptu performance hall and lounge for wandering Bards. Occasional performances are given here and sometimes the public is invited in for a few coins. Wine and ale can be had, albeit discreetly since the place is not licensed. A dozen or so comfortable benches are scattered about and in one corner a rather rag-tag troubadour seems to be sleeping off yesterday's tipple.
You also see a sign-up list, some comfortable benches and a gleaming rosewood bar with several things on it.
Obvious exits: south.
