Vora moved over to the side of the stage where her guitar lay in its soft case. Unzipping it, she pulled out a glossy cheery wood steel stringed acoustic guitar and moved over to the chair by the piano. Turning her left ear towards the instrument as she plucked strings, it was clear Vora was adept enough to not need a tuner for the first note. The subsequent ones were of course relative to the first.

Sienna nodded and moved to a chair with a stand nearby. She opened the case and placed it on a small table to the side. Within was the gleaming crystal clear glass flute with etched complex flowers down the shaft. On closer inspection, one would see the flowers and its leaves were slightly tinted, darker in all the places where one would expect shadows and paler, almost uncolored in the places where one might expect a highlight. The overall effect was one of complex and heartfelt craftsmanship. Sienna held it like she definitely knew how.

“Acoustic guitars are excellent accompaniments to flutes though I believe you did mention a rather more rock based. Perhaps if that is what you hope for, I could try with the harp?”

Vora shrugged and nodded. “I’m open to ideas. while I admit I had something in mind I also knew that when I opened this up to people that I was inviting in a variety of instrument and song styles. The lower registers of the harp could be interesting with the piano though.”

Sienna smiled as she looked at the harp, assessing. “True. They both have quite a range of notes and can go from being very soft to being quite staccato but I am limited with how fast I can pluck strings. There is a special attachment to the flute which can distort it into a more electric guitar sound. (https://youtu.be/21sw02hZ3ao) Would you like me to play for you?”
