Shop Atmosphere

The shop constantly hums with a low drone. The proprietor insists customers try instruments in odd combinations and will occasionally swap a string or reed free if they hum the right note. A small, dozing cat named Cadenza sits in the window and purrs in rhythm; customers who pet Cadenza without asking will find a small coin slightly warmer than the room afterward.
