Annoyed by the lack of original species on CS, I decided to make one. It turned out a bit... odd. xD But, I wanted to throw it out there and see if there was any interest in them. Here's a few basic facts:
1: They cannot read (including music) and have a very limited vocabulary.
2: They learn music by sound, as they cannot read sheet music.
3: They communicate mostly with simple sounds, though do (as mentioned in 1) have the ability to speak a bit of English.
4: There are many types, as sorted by what instrument they resemble. Some examples are violin (shown), guitar, and pipes.
5: In most types (strings instruments), they strum/bow with their tail and play notes with their left or right front paw.
6: They have large, cupped ears with ridges to help capture and fine-tune sound.
If I did continue these, I would need help from someone experienced in really... making the species. What I mean is, get them on their feet. And, help run the thread as I often get busy. But first let's see if there's an interest in them. ^^
