A ghostly instrument is an ethereal or spectral instrument that can be summoned from a pin.

Analyze

You analyze your tambourine pin and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

  You can RUB this pin to summon a ghostly instrument.  It has plenty of uses remaining.  Willing merchants may be able to recharge it.

  It currently produces an instrument as follows:

      a spectral tambourine

  The appearance of both this pin and the instrument it summons may be altered with a LONG, SHOW, or both.
  The instrument must remain ghostly, spectral, ethereal, etc. and maintain a noun suitable for its type.

You get no sense of whether or not the pin may be further lightened.

Usage

Verb First Third
RUB Call instrument:
As you rub your tambourine pin, a pale mist swirls sinuously down your arm and coalesces into the form of a spectral tambourine in your right hand.
