Alright, I'm back on my shit, and am once again soliciting advice so I don't look like a total numbskull. I'm currently writing something based off of what I was talking about in a previous post, but the gist is instructing musical variety via a character with outside knowledge into a society who barely got past the drum and basic singing.
I am DESPERATE for advice on what a good all round instrument is that isn't a guitar/banjo. I have been banging my head against this wall for several days because it's the driving force of the entire plot, but I can't think of anything that would both survive in volcanic winter conditions AND be used in multiple kinds of music. Any sort of advice would be great!
