Musical Mystery On The Dock

The morning stillness at the Pier was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a crate that Percy the Postie is refusing to discuss.

While the manifest technically lists "musical instruments," the size and shape have led local observers at the Drunk Coconut to conclude that a concert-grade harp has finally reached our shores.

This particular delivery has caused more of a stir than the usual Monday morning crates of mangoes and mailbags; mostly because Percy spent twenty minutes attempting to balance the seven-foot-tall wooden box on his delivery cart while muttering about the "unnecessarily elegant" weight of it all.

Mayor Sands has already issued a preemptive reminder that any "impromptu celestial plucking" must remain within the island's approved decibel levels to ensure a jovial rather than raucous atmosphere.

Meanwhile; Ned "Needle" Nelson from Island Rhythms Vinyl was seen hovering near the Pier with a set of tuning forks; looking suspiciously eager for a Monday morning.

Speculation at the Salty Parrot suggests the instrument might be a surprise for the Tipsy Tiki’s upcoming "After-Hours" Calypso set; though Midnight Monty has remained uncharacteristically silent on the matter.
