Dwarven Keyboard Music Making...
« on: November 15, 2009, 02:35:31 am »

so... a recent thread about organ music got me wondering:

Is the most Dwarven of Instruments
a) the hydraulic waterfall-driven Water Organ
b) Le Piano Du Chat
or
c) Something I'm forgetting about?

The Water Organ is old-tech. Hella loud. An Incredible, Complicated, Versatile, sometimes automated, Machine.
The Cat Piano is Ridiculously Improbable. Fiendish in sound and operation. Runs on Tortured Kittens.

I just can't decide.

There are many issues with this statement.

Your links are most wonky, but that water organ is most remarkable. If only it weren't so completely and totally impractical.

Note: While it may be impractical for people who can't really afford to get wet, it isn't such an impediment for dwarves (unless they drown) thus- magma organ?

Oh, oh you. Impracticality IS the very essence of dwarves.

Also, I nominate the sound of nobles shouting mandates.

Well treat me like the disease like the rats and the fleas, A-ha-ha! A-ha-ha!
Well treat me like the sea oh so salty and mean, A-ha-ha! A-ha-ha!
Let's shake hands if you want but soon both hands are gone, A-ha-ha!
Cut me down like a tree like the lumber or weeds, well discard who you please like the leaves off a tree. Drag me out of the sea and then teach me to breath. Give me forced health till I wish death on myself. Ah! Ha! Ha!
March on! March on! March on! March on! MARCH ON!
