Not that I plan to check in that often, but it looks like whatever instrument is available at the catwalk is also available to you in your nest for that hour, and if you have the instrument stand, you can put it on there and keep it!!! (in your nest, as far as it seems for now). I did not find this out on my own (lurk reddit via libreddit), but I tried it now, and it works!
I’m not sure exactly what steps you have to do, but I visited the catwalk to confirm what was available, and when there was an instrument I then went to my nest, placed the stand, and there they were, all the available props from the hourly selection, and you can pop the instrument on the stand, and there you have it!
I currently have the lute, but am hoping something more interesting comes along, people have got an ultimate electric guitar, so I’m really really hoping for the Aurora voice, though I’ll settle for a lot less lol
Oh cool, seems almost like an unintended bug from TGC, but that’s awesome!
My most recent serious choice (in the same hourly selection!) was between the Anniversary IAP electric guitar and the Rhythm IAP guitar (I can’t play either yet, but the white guitar won, especially since the demo I found of it was playing “Remember Me” from Coco, so I was emotionally manipulated lol). (E: I have now upgraded again, to the Triumph Handpan!)
Which means it’s 100% a bug, TGC would never be that generous intentionally. My guess is that since the instrument stand is relatively new, they just didn’t account for this happening!
I just really hope they let us keep the instruments we gained! (and that I’m careful enough to remember not to move the stand, since doing so makes you select a new instrument! 😩😅)
Still checking in more than usual in hope for that Aurora voice though… 😁🤞🤞🤞
Oh didn’t know that moving the moving the stand resets the item on it, thanks for the crucial heads up! And I want the Triumph Handpan too 😭
I am SO glad I found out about the moving stand reset thing when I did and not when it was too late! 😭😂
Though I would hope that if you chose to revert back changes after editing your nest it would go back, but I’d have to test that, which I don’t think I will now unless I change instrument again, and I think I’ve mentioned once or twice which one I really want lol, probably the only instrument I would risk it for now…
(E: I originally had mine in a spot along the main back wall where it looked nice but I later realised is too central and might get in the way of future redesign, so I now have it set up in front of the crystal thing you click to decorate, I figure it’s out of the way enough but still in the main room. I already had a little sitting corner there anyway, so it fits in well enough!)
I have seen instruments cycle back more than once, so definitely keep trying for the Handpan, who knows, you might land the ultimate Sanctuary one instead! 🤞🤞🤞
It hurts just thinking about it 😂
Right forgot about the ultimate gifts, that means double the chance!!
Edit: And indeed double the chance it was *-*
Oooh, I hope you see this, Sanctuary Handpan is available NOW!!! (18:00 game time)
(E: and either way, just confirmed that if you accidentally move the stand while decorating, you can undo by reverting changes! I’m also going to feel so bad if you miss the handpan and am wondering if I should have even said anything, I don’t even know that everyone gets the same stuff each hour… 😭🤞)
(E2: I’ve noticed that the IAP’s and ultimates tend to show up around this time, this might be completely anecdotal, but might be worth keeping in mind just in case)
Oh damn, that’s so kind of you!!! Thank you, although I’m definitely too late now😂
It seems possible, and that’s more than enough for me :P Okay, I’ll keep trying and if everything fails the last night of the event I’ll wake up at 4:00 am (*traumatic Aurora concert flashbacks*) and try one last time.
Edit: HOLY SH** I just logged on and the Sanctuary Handpan was there aaaaaa I don’t know why I don’t know how but thank you, you summoned it and I won’t accept any other explanation!! I still can’t believe it but it’s there and it looks majestic✨
Oh yay, I’m so happy for you!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Check out this piece which is what completely sold me on the handpan, I’m hoping I can manage to copy it at some point, though I’m not doing too well so far 😂
A very fitting song for the handpan, the passages with four notes at once are indeed tough but I usually convert them into a “three noter” (I don’t know anything about music, how’d you know?😅 ). Anyways thanks for sharing, I’ll start with this one!
Wait, it’s an actual song? And in case you couldn’t tell I know nothing about music either lol so it’s following along on a sheet (the daily sheet has helped loads!) or copying a video like this which I’m terrible at, so you won’t be getting any shit from me for simplifying! Having fewer notes definitely plays to the handpan’s advantage though…
Oops you’re right, it seems to just be a made up song…still sounds nice though :P
Why does this describe my musical skills in Sky so accurately😂 Whenever I feel like playing, it’s either exactly this, or playing the same old song that everyone around me has heard for the 100th time, but hey, “this time with some new pauses in between notes”!
