The traveling caravan is well stocked with supplies for the most discriminating music lover. Pegs line the walls, holding tools and completed items, while a half-finished lyre is held in place by clamps on a workbench near the door. A shifting bead curtain covers the back wall of the room. You also see a hanging sign, the caravan door, a peg-board with some stuff on it, a wooden counter with some stuff on it, a battered folding table with some stuff on it, a curving wicker basket, and a slanted wooden rack with some stuff on it. Obvious exits: none.

Sign:

Nytingale al'Danae, Lutier

Before you buy, some information about my merchandise. All sales are final, so best to know before you spend your coin.

Jackets are not pocketed, however they are cut loosely, and may be worn over armor.

The shagreen instrument cases are of medium size, and will hold a lute or mandolin easily. The leather long pouches are of a size to hold a flute or whistle or anything about that big that you care to put in. The drum pouch is just what it sounds like - of a good size to hold a bodhran or tambourine. Temple drums are much deeper than a bodhran, and won't fit in a drum pouch.

Instruments are sold as is, and will not be altered by me - removing the inlay would weaken the instrument, and carving just plain can't be undone.


On the peg-board you see a drum stick, a supple black leather flute pouch, a lacquered scarlet instrument case painted with golden wrens, a pale blue shagreen drum pouch with a gilded phoenix latch, a deep blue woolen jacket with carved rowan buttons and an ebony violin bow.

On the wooden counter you see a pear-shaped bloodwood rebec with an amber-inlaid soundhole, a polished flamewood lap harp, an elegant tiger maple cittern with an inlaid compass rose on the soundbox, a polished mahogany psaltery inlaid with a fragile band of jade vines, an oiled fishtail oak cistre with an elaborately carved fretwork rose and a delicate silverwillow lyre embellished with carved mermaids and seashells.

On the folding table you see a yellowed bone syrinx lashed with intricately knotted blood-red laces, a silver-keyed mistwood oboe adorned with cabochon peridots, a translucent white jade whistle carved to resemble a playful squirrel and a gold-banded boxwood recorder.

In the wicker basket you see a set of twenty-four strings and a set of seven strings.

On the wooden rack you see a pair of lacquered blue-green castanets overlaid with copper filigree, a scarlet gypsy tambourine with fluttering multi-colored ribbons and a shallow shaman's drum decorated with fluttering gold-beaded scarlet feathers.
