Broken Sword 5 Hints
What can I use as the instrument?
1 of 7: Look around and try some hotspots.
2 of 7: Something should be around that always does the same sound when using it.
3 of 7: Try to use the scaffold. See that it is making some melodic sound.
4 of 7: When trying to use the single parts of the scaffold (paint buckets, fire extinguisher etc.) you only hear a dull sound, like drumming with your fingers.
5 of 7: Like you need drumsticks on a kettledrum, you need some clapper for this "bell chime".
6 of 7: Next to the scaffold is a tool box. Take a hammer from it.
7 of 7: Use the hammer on the various elements of the scaffold to hear a brighter, bell-like sound.
