Location Rhaus' Harp

[Opal Draer]

Located in a corner of Dry Island Plaza sits the unassuming music shop, Rhaus' Harp. Specializing in sales of musical instruments and assorted accessories, this small storefront is framed by flowering, hanging vines and intricately patterned rock gardens. To soften the look, a glance around showcases some of the more hardy potted plants - most native to the area and unremarkable in their own right. The nondescript plantings also serve to hide small groupings of bells strategically placed so that the wind will tease a light tinkling tune meant to entice passersby to stop and enter the shop to inspect the wares. Opening the door elicits yet another small peal of bells, both welcoming visitors and making it impossible for the shopkeep to be taken unawares. A quick glance around reveals meticulously clean-swept wooden floors, tidy shelves and a modest sized corner hearth, accompanied by two cozy and inviting chairs. The decor is simple, and mostly for sale; instruments that can be hung are displayed that way. Often, a particularly lovely piece will be set upon the hearth mantle; interaction is encouraged, and visitors are welcome to try their hand at whatever is on display. The wall opposite the hearth is lined with shelving; a few short steps across the room finds the visitor within arms' reach of nearly any musical item he or she could desire. From simple children's instruments such as clappers and rattles to more costly lutes and banjos, all are neatly lined up awaiting an interested hand. Should one wish it, cases for every instrument may also be purchased at the shop; for the most part those are stored in the back room, being both large and rather difficult to artfully display. Those wishing to purchase any of the services offered need simply to speak with Opal Draer, proprietor. For additional fees, personalization can be added to nearly everything for sale in Rhaus' Harp - instruments and cases alike. Painting or carving are options; popular choices include monograms and/or house crest symbols. Other designs are available, including the customer's own design, provided a suitable representation is available for reference. Additionally, those wishing to better their musicianship might also purchase copies of popular or original tunes, though this is by far the least-requested service on offer.   Goods - Instruments Banjo, 50gm Clappers, wood 1cm Drums, buckle 2gm Drums, kettle 10gm Fiddle 50gm Flute, wood 5sm Flute, metal 15gm Lute 55gm Ocarina 3sm - 15gm Panpipe, wood 10sm - 25sm Rhythm Rattles 5sm Whistle, 1cm   Goods - Accessories Cases (cloth) for Instruments, small 1sm - 5sm Cases (wood) for Instruments, medium 1gm - 10gm Cases (wood) for Instruments, large 15gm - 25gm Music Book 4gm Tuning Fork 5gm   Services Simple Personalization - shapes or designs painted onto wood, clay, or metal instruments or wood cases.
