when one purchases a txistu <the easiest wind instrument, to my knowledge> from the peddler, it is sold in filthy condition.
with a beginning bard character i find it tedious to sit for an hour trying to clean the thing.
<for those who say - ask someone to clean it, in the instances i play, and at the time I play - <plat and TF - predominantly overnight>, it is difficult to find anyone else around or awake to do same>
Couldn't these instruments be sold a little cleaner, as they are meant for beginners?
thx.

My bard used an ocarina.

The easiest Winds instrument is the mirliton from the Leth carver. Works at 0 ranks for all guilds.

I just realized that this list probably needs to be updated by someone with much lower skills than I. I compiled the lists of instruments by difficulty using comparative methods and extremely high skill levels, so the low end might not be correct.
I can confirm that the mirliton is easier to play than the whisky jug and the txistu. Just checked that out with a newb character.
Get ye to a mirliton.
