This shield is outfitted with subtle, hidden features that allow it to serve as a number of instruments, (Namely Bagpipe, snare drum, gong and Brass horn).
The differing instruments each have their own input area of the adjustable shield and the individual notes or pitch are controlled by triggers in reach of the hand bearing the shield, you can also set certain tunes on loop lasting up to 5 minutes per cycle for each instrument so as to serve as a one man band.
If you are proficient in any of the composite instruments you can use that portion with proficiency. If you play a steady beat while on forced march you can travel an additional 2 hours without trouble even at full speed.
You may also use this shield as your spell casting focus and can use the stored melodies as the necessary vocal and somatic input allowing you to keep focused on the fight or to sing along.
