Shawzin

The Shawzin is a stringed instrument commonly used by the Orokin.

Ingame, the Shawzin can be used both as an Orbiter decoration, and as a Emote that allows players to play their own music.

Acquisition
There are multiple variants of Shawzin available in the Market, which grants the player the Orbiter decoration of the purchased Shawzin. If the player is buying a Shawzin for the first time, they will also receive the unique Shawzin emote.

As with other emotes, the Shawzin emote must first be equipped in the player's Gear wheel before it can be used.

Mechanics
To play the Shawzin, players must activate the Shawzin Emote from their Gear wheel, which will make their Warframe kneel down and hold the instrument, while also unlocking the main Shawzin interface.

The various default controls for the Shawzin include:
 * - 1st String
 * - 2nd String
 * - 3rd String
 * - Vibrato
 * - Sky Fret
 * - Earth Fret
 * {{Key|RMB} - Water Fret
 * - Scale: Players can use this key to change scale. Options include:
 * Pentatonic Minor
 * Pentatonic Major
 * Chromatic
 * Hexatonic
 * Major
 * Minor
 * Hirajoshi
 * Phrygian
 * - Songs: This section allows players to select pre-recorded songs to play on the Shawzin. Asides from a handful of default songs, songs played on the Shawzin can also be recorded to share with other players, and in turn pre-recorded songs can also be imported into the player's song library. When a song is played, a rhythm game will commence where players must time play the Shawzin to the beat of notes falling onto a meter. Players will be given a score based on their performance after the song plays, though this score has no real effect on gameplay. Other options in this section include:
 * Metronome - This option enables the audio cue on the metronome when recording a song. The Metronome is on by default.
 * Slow Playback - Enabling this option will slow down the song playback, giving players more time to see the falling notes on the board.
 * Auto Play - Enabling this option will make the song play its notes without player input.
 * - Switch Instrument: Allows the player to switch between the different types of Shawzins available. If the player has not purchased another Shawzin, this option allows them to directly purchase other Shawzin types on the Market.
