Old proposals that have migrated here until something better is done with them
Allow Instrument Attribute for Members of a Band
Should MemberOfBandRelationshipType not have an instrument attribute? --DonRedman
This would introduce some additional complexity in interpreting artist roles: see ArtistRoleInheritance --MatthewExon
Another thought: the instrument attribute doesn't have "vocals", so this wouldn't work for recording singers. Maybe the InstrumentRelationshipAttribute hierarchy should include the VocalRelationshipAttribute hierarchy, and "Performed instrument on" be merged with "Performed vocal on"? There are other roles for members of a band as well: The Prodigy has two dancers as "official" members. IMO these could probably be adequately covered by "other" --MatthewExon
