Add more instruments
There need to be more instruments because we need new sounds and new beats.
Add turntable for scratching, trumpet, violin, sound effects for anything, DJ mixer, etc.
I want music to be better on Scratch because I want people to make interactive music with fun instruments and new beats.
More instruments,
More fun.
The current instruments right now is not good. There are no instruments that I loved like turntable or trumpet.
I tried music before at 4th grade but I only used a flute. Now, I barely tried music.
I want music to be the future of Scratch because it can allow us to show our creativity and our love of making music.
More instruments, better music. I like being creative because it can give me a large freedom of creating anything I ever imagined.
Some people want more instruments on Scratch because they want to create better music. I want more instruments because
I want to make better music with newer instruments.
I suggest that Scratch should add:
Violin
Horn
Trumpet
Turntable
DJ Mixer
Kick Drum
Sound Effects
Electronic Music Instruments
Any instruments that people love
I suggest that Scratch should improve:
The choir- Reasons to improve: There have to be a Classical Choir (ancient and medieval) and a Fan Choir (sounds from the stadium)
The electric guitar- Reasons to improve: The sounds have to sound like a rock ‘n’ roll guitar. Plus, add Heavy Metal Guitar.
The piano- Reasons to improve: There have to be a Classical Piano (orchestra sounds) and Retro Piano (Retro Sounds)
I suggest that Scratch would add new features:
Allowing players to use and change languages of the choir, that way, players around the world will use the choir that is used in that player's country.
Scratch-made beats for players that do not know beats or music
Allowing players to pick themes like Jazz or Hip Hop or Pop, that way, players will use music easier

Why can't you download music? It's better.

I remix projects in different languages. It's not copying - it's being fair to the world.

Because he wants to make his own songs. Why can't you download music? It's better.
Anyway, support. There aren't any flaws I can find and it would certainly be helpful.

Support. I also think trombone should be added to the improvement list, the current trombone sound is an electric buzz thing
The above post was likely clear sass. 10 outta 10.
Unless it wasn't. Which happens from time to time. Sadly.

I just noticed that the instrument list has flute, clarinet, and bassoon, but not oboe. Oboe is actually a pretty important instrument, since it is almost always used to tune an orchestra. A general woodwind orchestra has flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, so I think it should be added.
(Swallowed by an evil kumquat who was just taking a walk in the neighborhood of evil kumquats when they saw a garage sale where they bought a plate which they used to eat but they discovered that it leaked and they went to get their money back but the sale was over so they went in the house but the door was locked so they got their key but it didn't fit so they went home to use the key on the right door which was their own door and then they decided to swallow a signature for no reason.)

Even better, replace the low-quality sampled instruments with the whole MIDI set of instruments. 128 instruments to choose from. (Yes, it's what Scratch 1.4 used)

I prefer that people learn how to use a DAW than take Scratch's shortcuts, because once you move away stuff like this can't be applied anymore.
But I realize DAWs are not for everyone.

I mean, you would compose your music in a DAW and then import the finished music. Scratch is a bit limited, which is why I don't suggest using the music blocks. No offense though.

I feel like we need the viola here as well, since if this was implemented, it would be the only string instrument left out of the sound library.
