Tools PHB p.154 @JeremyECrawford "Each type of musical instrument requires a separate proficiency." Does "type" refer to wind, string, (1/2)

The PH has examples of musical instrument types on p. 154. They are lute, lyre, etc., not wind, strings. etc. #DnD https://t.co/Cg6WXbzeNz

@sla_dreamer @GlassSpiider what about instruments in DMG? Is a Cittern, mandolin, harp, bandlore also a type?
Yes, those are also examples. The DMG reinforces this fact by having the lute and lyre, as the PH does.

@sla_dreamer @GlassSpiiderif new types are added how is a PC supposed to pick proficiencies knowing another type could later come out?
You can gain new tool proficiencies through training during downtime (PH, 187).
