 | This article relates to content added by Royalty (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled. |
Piano
An advanced stationary musical instrument. It is played by pressing a row of keys, which causes hammers to strike internal strings stretched over a steel frame. The hammer mechanism and high-tension strings allow the musician to play both very soft and very loud, making the piano a very expressive instrument.
It can be crafted at a smithy.
