[Genshin Impact Theory] 10 more music instruments I think we could see on Genshin Impact. And why.

Welcome to Genshin Music Theory!

With 10 more musical instruments I wish to see on Genshin impact.

Because I care about the music on this game.

But before the list let's talk the theory. And the theory considers the game mechanic as main criteria for choosing one instrument over the other.

There are three key points of this theory and the first one is of course that an instrument must work within the music scale we get. That kind of excludes the tambourine, sad...

Second of all the instrument should be relatively old or folklore instrument, even tho I included a few modern ones for the lack of better old choice.

And last size matters most. The smaller the better.

Instruments that we can hold in hands are preferable for the reason of we can play them everywhere. They must be compact. Remember how Venti keeps his special anemo strings to a ball because he is a traveler too and needs to take care of the precious strings during the travels... wherever he goes anyways.

Imagine carrying a piano or a drum kit. Even with Paimon's abilities to contain our treasures It is still too big and we'd need flat ground to summon it on to play. Like we can't place the Parametric Transformator or the Teapot everywhere. And these are already small now imagine placing a piano on a cliff..

Same consideration made me exclude almost every instrument that requires our characters to sit down to play it. Which kicked so many interesting instruments off the list and you may wonder what's even left...

Well there we go because for the piano substitute Keytar exists.

Under number 10:

10 - Keytar

Portable - yes

Melodic - yes

9. Melodica

Melodic - yes

8. Waist drum

7. Pungi (used for SNAKE CHARMING)

6. Xylophone

Melodic - yes

5. Rebec

Portable - yes

Melodic - yes

4. Fingerharp

Portable - yes

3. Pan Flute

Portable - yes

2. Concertina

Portable - yes

1. Ocarina

Portable - YES

Folklore - YES

Melodic - YES

And last but not least - the game mechanics don't completely exclude bigger instruments and I imagined a way they are possible. And this is if they exists on the game only at certain places where we could sit down and play them. This is pretty much possible for the developers to add. Like Church organ at the Favonius church and a Guzheng (aka Chinese Zither) somewhere at Liyue, a Koto in Inazuma. In one of the rooms of the teahouse in Inazuma there are traditional drums already, also on the islands, we get them for the teapot, just not useable.. If they were interactive objects that would be awesome.
