Instrument Training - Matching minstrels and students

[Briallan]

I found out last night that experienced minstrels have a 5-day cooldown before they can train another student, so getting trained on an instrument by a minstrel may take a bit of advance planning. I'm hoping we can use this thread to match students who want training in a particular instrument, and minstrels who have come off cooldown and are ready to train someone again.

In particular, I'm hoping to get some someone who is interested in the band, but hasn't yet gotten any instrument training, to get trained in the flute; this would fill a hole in our band membership, and make it easier for us to switch parts on various songs. Any takers?

Also, I'm looking at becoming an all/around instrumentalist. Top choices right now would be Theorbo and Flute. Post in the thread or just find me in LOTRO so I can learn. :)

As of 10/21/2013 19:30 GMT, Krohkur has 2 days 8 hours to Mentoring Availability. As of this post, he is 47th level (meaning the only things he can't teach yet are Bagpipes and Moor Cowbell... he can teach normal Cowbell).

Minstrels can use a "Scribe Stance" skill with an item purchased from any Bard or Minstrel Trainer, allowing the Mentoring for an instrument to be "written" into a scroll, for mailing, as an example. (I think they can be placed in the Auction House, as well, so you may be able to pick up instrument skills there.)  Note that the cool-down for the Minstrel goes to 10 (yes, TEN) days when Scribe Stance is used.

Here is the list of Mentoring Skills:
