Question of the day: What instrument would you love to master?

[@zln25]

Thanks for this, guys! This looks like a real treat to play I want to master the pipe organ specifically so that I can moodily honk out my feelings to everyone within 4 blocks of me

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Luthier, you two! Always love your energy and presentation style! 🎻 (Ilya, you were sort of conducting a three-beat pattern but counting to four at the very beginning-notice how your first and fourth beat are both downbeats? 😉 The faster, two-beat pattern was spot-on, though!) Oh, and I'd love to master the drums! Such a fun instrument to play! 🥁

@@BoardGameDave You can tell I’m not a graceful conductor, I would just listen to ours haha! Thanks so much for watching Dave :)

I am SO excited for Luthier, I can't even put in words HOW excited I am. First of all, as a musician myself the theme is amazing. I have read so much about Luthiers (their work, famous families, etc.) and see this theme implemented in a board game is so cool. And of course it is a Paverson game. I love Distilled and both games seem to perfectly combine theme with mechanics. The art by Vincent Dutrait is just... chef's kiss! Nobody does it like Dutrait. I fell in love with his work when I first saw Detective: City of Angels and Luthier looks gorgeous as well. If I had had the possibility to back this on kickstarter I definitely would have done so. I can't wait for the retail version now. And which instrument would I love to master? I played the alto saxophone for many years and I would love to further pursue that. I also would love to learn to play the piano since I'd like to learn how to compose songs as well and the piano is - in my opinion - the best instrument to use for this purpose.

I (Ilya) played tenor! Piano is the best, so fun to just jam with. Thanks for watching!!!

Just a quick FYI, the campaign is still live, so if you wanted to back it, there's still time.

[@Skyrodin]

@@AeronwyD it's not that I don't want to, I just don't have the possibility. I don't have a credit card. But thank you :)

[@AeronwyD]

I believe they've changed the rules a bit with the Resolution phase. I got to do a play-through on TTS with the developer & he'd said you can only pick an area where you have a token. The game is so much fun and i can't wait to get a physical copy! As for what instrument I'd love to master, that would be the piano. I used to play when I was younger, but haven't touched it in ages.

@@AeronwyD good to know! Thank you for letting us know. It is so much fun , I’m so excited to play the final copy! Piano is incredible!

[@Hidetoshi88]

I hope you guys will do full review and playthrough some day, maybe with the final product. Would love to see it.

[@kovray]

This definitely won't be the last you've heard from us on this game, we cannot wait to play more and share the final version!

[@johnpsanchez]

Which instrument would I like to master? I'd love to be a Paganini-level master on the violin. Second choice would be Chopin-level on the piano. I really want to love this game. I love the theme. Love the art. And love the mechanics. Just a little overwhelming. Hopefully I can get hands on with it soon.

[@kovray]

The rehearsal will definitely help, we played with it the first game we ever played and it was quite smooth to get into it. There's work going into cleaning up the graphic design too so I think when the final product arrives it will be hopefully just the right feel.

Ilya!! What instrument did you play, and were 1st chair in? I played percussion :)

[@kovray]

Very cool! I did trumpet and then later tenor sax!
