-------------------------------------------------
Current Version:    1.1
What's new:         Fixed the suspicious missing entry
                    Fixed a mistake at the end of the guide - you unlock
                       'Meeting Fondue' for the Master Instrument, not 'Marie's
                       Test' (thanks for that, XGamerRichy!).
                    Removed the odd Bernard's hints that stuck out a bit, I'll
                       re-add them when I have the entire list (which might be
                       a while...)
                    A minor layout adjustment
What's coming up:   Bernard's hints for the noises (e.g. 'gushing noise',
                       'dangerous noise', etc.)
                    More detailed descriptions of when and where the noises
                       can be found

-------------------------------------------------
| Introduction to the Master Instrument | [INT] |
-------------------------------------------------
The Master Instrument is one of two major sidequests in Rhythm Thief. The aim
is to use the game's Recorder function to record 20 different sound effects
throughout the game to build one large instrument. The sidequest is begun as
part of the story, when Raphael speaks to Bernard.

To advance the sidequest, Bernard will give slightly cryptic hints as to the
nature of the sound (e.g. 'gushing noise', 'dangerous noise') and the sound of
what you are looking for will be played. The aim is to record these sounds by
clicking on the correct item around Paris and to bring the recording back to
Bernard.
