Music and instruments

Well, this is kinda just immersion and ambience, but!

How cool wouldnt it be, if some civilian elves walked around with harps and flutes, playing a few notes instead of doing a voiced line? And hobbits playing some stringed instruments at their inns? And the bells! The bells of dale! Ah, the bells!

On the other side, horns and drums. Something akin to noteblocks, but louder, and reaching further. We could really hammer in our approach as we come to raid. Or send alarms along the road that enemies are approaching. Perhaps the "instrument" is just an amplifier, for noteblocks setting a tone/melody..

One can dream right?

I think there've been suggestions about instruments before, but I don't know if they were focused on adding them to NPCs like this one is.

I'd suggest that Dwarves also get a few instruments, like those they bring to Bag End: fiddles, flutes, drums, clarinets, viols, and harps. Those could also be used by the other races.

Drums should definitely also be used by the Orcs and, when added, the Drúedain.

Yeah, some instruments for basically every faction as items, some music related sounds from some npc civilians, and some placeable music blocks, like the bells of dale (bells in general as they are also seen in rohan and gondor), horn of helms deep (horns in general), drums (like in moria, and mordor just as examples, more races probably realized beating things gave sounds)
