Met with my lovely editor this week about my next book. It's a novel about a musician and a magical instrument. Now here's a question for all of you: which instrument?

Not a flute, that's been done. How about a piccolo?

I'm partial to cello and bassoon. The richness of tones and the ability to vibrate your core without excessive volume make both instruments multi-dimensional and emotive.
If it needs to be portable what about the violin?
I say a cello or a violin...both in the same family of instruments.
Guitar may be overrated (as some people say it is) but personally, Guitar's so awesome and it's magical. So yes, this is just an unpopular suggestion, Thanks Sir Mitch :)
Hi, I was just wondering, a harp? I personally find it beautiful and it just attracts me in a certain way, like the piano and the violin, but somehow I have a deeper feeling for it... Unexplainable, really. :)
This is different, but what about drums? I have in mind such as in drum circles. I found the beat of the drums to be quite primeval, and I felt that beat deep in my inner being.
A magical instrument mentioned heretofore in literature? Or a newly imagined one, creating endless possibilities? I'd go with the kazoo. A magical Kazoo.
YAY, Rianne! I think you and I are the only ones so far pulling for drums. :-)
Magical instrument ... Hmmm depends on the character , more old school I would suggest a harmonica , if we are more contemporary I would suggest a violin . As both are easily transportable. A little more hipster could have the person playing something like a ukelele

string instruments are the best. But if it is something super portable I would suggest drum sticks. They can be carried anywhere and the character can use them on anything they like. Anything can be a drum.
Piano or a string instrument...they are all so captivating :)
I have always thought a harp was magical.
Why not a tuba? Weird but unexpected to be magical
piano piano piano pianoviolin & guitar = overdone
I can not wait for your next book. I absolutely love everything you write!!!!
