The Shawzin is a stringed musical instrument from the Orokin era. First seen during The Sacrifice quest as a background decoration, it was later added as both an Orbiter decoration and an Emote that allows players to play their own music.
Acquisition
There are multiple variants of Shawzin available in the Market, which grant the player the Orbiter decoration of the purchased instrument. 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.
Variants
There are seven variants of the Shawzin, three of which are skins for the basic Dax's Shawzin (Dawn, Day of the Dead, and Mimica) while the others have a unique sound profile corresponding to guitars in the real world. The Corbo, Nelumbo and Tiamat are electric, acoustic and bass guitars respectively.

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. Other players in your squad or inside your Landing Craft can hear the music you play on the Shawzin. Currently, you cannot disable this feature. To enable the ability to link a specific song to Chat or to save the song, you must be able to play your song with a 4/5 rating. In other words, you must be able to successfully play at least 80% of all the notes in your song. Players that have Octavia equipped can turn on her bass track by pressing 4.

Song Transcription
Songs played on the Shawzin are stored as a string of numbers, letters, and symbols. These songs can only be manually recorded for up to 4 minutes with 1000 notes. However, you can import 4m16s songs with 1666 notes.
Each song begins with a number, indicating the scale that the song is played on.
| Scale | Pentatonic Minor | Pentatonic Major | Chromatic | Hexatonic | Major | Minor | Hirajoshi | Phrygian | Yo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
Every note consists of three characters, with the first character indicating the note to be played. Important to note that letters are case-sensitive and that whammy is not recorded.
| Frets/Strings | 1 | 2 | 1 & 2 | 3 | 1 & 3 | 2 & 3 | 1 & 2 & 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| None | B | C | D | E | F | G | H |
| Sky | J | K | L | M | N | O | P |
| Earth | R | S | T | U | V | W | X |
| Water | h | i | j | k | l | m | n |
| Sky & Earth | Z | a | b | c | d | e | f |
| Sky & Water | p | q | r | s | t | u | v |
| Earth & Water | x | y | z | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Sky & Earth & Water | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | + | / |
The following two characters signal where said note is played with 4096 unique positions. The second character tells what measure the note is played in, from A-Z, then a-z, then 0-9, then +, /, for a total of 64 measures where each measure lasts for four seconds. Each measure is divided into 64 parts as the third character represents: A-Z, then a-z, then 0-9, then +, /.
A sample note BAA will represent No Fret + 1st string played in the 1st measure at the 1/64th position of said measure.

| Water Fret + 3 (k) | D#6 | D6 | B4 | A#5 | G5 | G5 | C#6 | G5 | D#6 |
- Whammy will lower these notes by one semitone.
- Although C4 to D#6 is the Shawzin's playable range across all 9 scale sets, B5 is currently missing and cannot be played without the use of Whammy.

A note from our Sound Team: “We recorded many different real guitars to make this electric guitar Shawzin sound heavy. The sounds are a result of blending these different guitar tones together. Each of the notes has a couple of different variations so when you play it, it will sound like a realistic electric guitar.”

Hotfix 25.7.5 (2019-09-09)

Hotfix 25.7.4 (2019-09-05)
- Added custom Shawzin keybind settings for keyboard and controller!

You can now record Shawzin songs with up to 1000 notes, but can only Chat linked if they're 100 notes or less.- I wrote this change wrong! The true change is: You can now load 1000 note songs that you have recorded, but the Chat link limit of 100 notes still applies.
- Fixed Shawzin 'Autoplay’ always showing a score of 0 the whole time, instead it now shows "Autoplay".
- Fixed a UI lockup when selecting a Chat linked Shazin song or Mod Link.

Update 25.7 (2019-08-29)
- SHAWZIN 2.0 - INTERACTIVE EMOTE!
Back in Update 25.4 (2019-07-18) we added the Shawzin to the Market for 40 Platinum - a placeable Decoration to remind you of The Sacrifice. Immediately the comments rolled in of ‘I wish we could play it’! And today that day has come:
All Shawzin purchases now come with a free ‘Shawzin’ Emote that you can equip to play your signature instrument! Those who have already purchased the Shawzin will retroactively have the Emote. With over half a dozen Scales, 3 frets and 3 strings, your song opportunities are endless. We cannot WAIT to see what you all come up with!
We have added 3 new Shawzin Decorations to the market with a different flair:
MIMICA SHAWZIN - custom colour Shawzin! This Shawzin features an adaptive enamel that senses and mimics the coloring of any musician playing it.
DAWN SHAWZIN - Like the morning’s first light, this Shawzin will wake the spirit within.
And NELUMBO Shawzin - with it’s own sound-pack, it’s completely unique!
SHAWZIN has been renamed to DAX SHAWZIN for clarity.
Simply change your Shawzin while using the Emote using the menu provided!
- Some nifty features to explore with your Shawzin:
- Numerous different musical scales to choose from
- Play single notes and chords
- Play along with Mandachord rhythm section
- Practice songs included (and a "slow playback" feature also available)
- "This Is What You Are", "We All Lift Together", and "Smiles From Juran" songs included!
- Add vibrato and whammy bar effects
- Record your Shawzin songs and share with friends by linking in Chat once you’ve achieved at least 4 Clems (points) by playing your track back
- Shawzin can auto playback songs or you can play along
- Metronome mode option (120bpm with quantization feature)
Shawzin music can be heard in Squads and aboard landing crafts. Relays do allow you to play, but you will only hear your music and not your peers.
Update 25.4 (2019-07-18)
- SHAWZIN DECORATION
This antique Orokin string instrument once belonged to a great Dax. The ancient ballad, “Smiles from Juran,” is one of the few known examples of music composed for this instrument.
Update 23.0 (2018-06-15)
- Introduced as a background decoration in The Sacrifice.
