About this mod

Adds a craftable Flute and Lute that you can actually play. By play, I mean that pressing a button will play a note, pressing a different button will play a different note. Requires SKSE.

Port of drain64's mod to Skyrim Special Edition.


Adds a craftable Flute and Lute that you can actually play. By play, I mean that pressing a button will play a note, pressing a different
button will play a different note. The drum sounds you play are from skyrim and aren't interactive. Requires SKSE.

####################
Obtaining the playable instruments
####################
The playable versions are separate items from the vanilla flute, lute and drum. You can find them lying around the bards college somewhere. Alternatively, you can craft them in a forge.
Bring a vanilla flute/lute/drum to any forge. You'll see the crafting option under "Misc". Note that the playable version, once crafted, will be categorized as a "weapon". This is necessary to allow you to equip it.

####################
How to Play the Flute
####################
  • Press A, S, D, F, Left arrow, Down arrow, or Right arrow to play a note.
  • Keybinds can be changed in MCM
  • Hold 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 to play a flute song from Skyrim
  • Press space to exit.
  • Tap for a short sound, or hold for a longer sound.

How to Play the Lute
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  • The chords included: Am, A, A#, Bm, C, Dm, D, E, F, F#, Gm, G
  • You must press left arrow + base note to play minor, up arrow + base note to play sharp, simply hold to play  major
  • Hold 1, 2, 3, or 4 to play a lute song from Skyrim
  • Press space to exit

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
How to Play the Drums
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


  • Hold 1, 2, or 3 to play a drum song from Skyrim
  • Space to exit


Let me know if any of the sounds seem too quiet / too loud.

All of the chords included for the lute are enough to play at least Ragnar
the Red, and Age of Oppression/Aggression.

You will notice that the flute sounds are ocarina sounds... that was how the original author drain64 created it. I may add a version using actual flute sounds at some point if I can find good sound files for the notes.

Enjoy!
