So I have a couple of Ideas, and I need at least two violin-playing guardsmen, a violin for a Daemon, and bagpipes, drums and guitars for grots. The instruments grots do have (in the grot herder boxes) are a bit too expensive. Do you have any tips for building/sculpting these instruments?

Have you checked the instruments on sale for miniature houses? You know, the typical ones. Maybe they fit your army, as they're more or less the same size.

They're not expensive and are already painted.
