Inside, the Chromatic Scale displayed a collection of various musical instruments and music boxes, with some being one-of-a-kind items, such as the Falataeric Cli lyre, Glimmergad's Selgaunt fiddle, Kiam Goda's kilat drum, Stolyarof's table lute, and Dostrealt's piccolo. Its walls were decorated with posters advertising music, bards, and minstrel services and the shop had a collection of songs, ballads, and other types of sheet music for sale.[1]
History[]
Chromatic Scale's interior.
In the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR, during the Absolute crisis, the shop was run by Thomas C. Quirkilious, a dragonborn man of crimson scales and a skilled instrument maker. Thomas was known to experiment on various materials in order to produce quality strings for his instruments. However, using peacock gizzards was a gross failure, ratgut was proven to be hard to work with, and catgut was a failure, despite being better suited for string making than sheepsgut.[1]
