What if the Noah family were a chamber orchestra though
The Earl and Nea probably used to switch between conductor and pianist depending on the song; the Earl probably likes playing the happy, playful pieces and Nea enjoys the somber ones. They’d argue over who gets to play the overly dramatic pieces, though, because they’re both drama queens. Now, though, the Earl pulls double duty, though he mostly plays piano while an akuma servant does the conducting for him. Not like the others really follow the tempo, but eh.
Road plays the violin and is just ridiculously good at everything (Sheril is a proud papa); everyone loves her vibrato especially.
Tyki plays viola because he finds the violin too small and honestly is a little lazy and thinks violas have somewhat easier parts than the cello, and lugging the bass around for concerts gets tedious quickly.
Lulu Bell is on second violin; she doesn’t mind much for music and kinda got dragged into it by the rest of the family but ends up secretly enjoying the pieces she plays with them.
Sheril is on bass because he wouldnt want to steal the spotlight from his Road and he honestly got a little attached to his bass. Probably sometimes plays a nice solo piece for Tricia once in a while, and occasionally duets with Road. He’s not very good but he enjoys playing very it much.
The twins are on percussion, because have you /seen/ percussion? They’re just banging on all these toys whenever they think is cool and it actually magically works with the pieces the rest of the family is playing.
Wisely would probably be clarinet, I can see him either wailing away and being pro as fuck and maybe occasionally squeaking just because it’s funny, or he’ll play a slower, lonely piece because having all his past incarnations’ memories can get a little overwhelming at times.
Fiidora is on cello. I dunno why. But he looks like someone who’d play the cello, and like Lulu he probably doesn’t care much for the whole orchestra thing.
I REALLY want Skinn to play the flute. Just imagine the NOAH OF WRATH, huge amd angry but addicted to sweets, daintily playing the flute. But not that daintily because playing the flute requires so much lung capacity. Which he has from shouting and yelling a lot.
Maashiima is on bassoon and he enjoys the sound of it very much. He was originally on English horn but switched to bassoon since more songs require one, but he does go back and play in his horn sometimes.
Toraido plays the oboe because nobody else wanted to. And he’s surprisingly good at it, but doesn’t bother practicing his parts. He’s still good, though.
Maitora took over for Skinn when he died and plays the flute; he was originally on clarinet until Wisely came along and insisted on playing clarinet. He’s really good at sight reading but his articulation can get a little messy at times.
And then when they all get together for practice, everything’s a fucking mess because they keep yelling at each other over parts and whatnot but at the end of the day they had fun and they’re still family, so it’s all good.
