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 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!
