Description
Another tech! This one took some time.
All sounds came mostly from random youtube videos or free sound samples.
Eg the tuba sound is actually a ship horn from a video modified a bit in Audacity.
As always I tried my best to keep it balanced with the vanilla factions.
Hope you enjoy it.

Ensemble: A group of once proud classical musicians that lost their jobs thanks to the spread of pop music. They went mad out of anger and frustration, turning their instruments into surprisingly effective weapons in a quest for money, power and revenge.

Actors
Maestro: The maestro bravely conducts the orchestra into war from a safe distance, encouraging young musicians to die as heroes in the frontlines. A true leader and an inspiration to us all.
Tenor: Wacky classical musicians that have issues facing their failed careers. They have dangerously unstable minds and are prone to violent behaviour.
Baritone: Part human, part machine, this especially crazy musicians fused themselves with instruments parts and became lunatic musical cyborgs of doom.
Contralto: A steam-powered robot made from instrument parts and bad intentions. It comes with brass armor and a double flute gun.
Bass Turret: A defense turret armed with a long range trombone cannon and protected by a heavy bell armor.

Weapons
Soprano: A soprano clarinet blunderbuss. Not particularly powerful, but deals decent damage up close.
Piccolo: A piccolo turned into a vicious yet elegant handgun.
Blunderbrass: Made with an old trumpet, this beautiful three round shotgun is as powerful as it is noisy. Be careful, it's not tuned.
Drum Gun: As it can be heard, this machine gun literally uses drums as magazines. It's a bit inaccurate, but shoots fast and has lots of bullets.
Clarinet Cannon: A cheap cannon capable of removing limbs from bodies. Packs a powerful punch for its size.
Flute Rifle: The big brother of the Piccolo, this long range weapon kills playing beautiful tunes.
French Horn: A two round cannon that fires two explosive shells at moderate speeds. It's not very precise but can cause serious damage.
Crescendo: A gatling gun that starts shooting slow but quickly speeds up. Like the Drum gun, it uses drums as magazines... bigger drums.
Basson Cannon: A big bass cannon that shoots heavy projectiles. Has only one shot but reloads fairly fast.
Tuba Artillery: A heavy weapon that rains destruction and strikes fear on who hears its mighty song of death. Better suited for long range combat.

Shields
Contrabass: A cheap and light wooden shield improvised with a contrabass. It shouldn't stop bullets, but it seems to work so who cares?

Bombs
Music Box: A lovely explosive music box. Blows up after a not very consistent amount of time.

Crafts
Piano: Yes, now you can finally drop a piano on your friends. Deliver troops with it at your own risk.
Church Bell: A big and heavy metal bell. Like every church bell nowadays, it comes equipped with rocket propulsion and automatic doors for troop delivery. Pretty much standard.
