Music in Thedish speaking cultures differed strongly depending on region; Italian Thedish music was closer to European musical styles whereas North African Thedish music had more in common with Middle Eastern musical styles. Both styles are common among Thedes today.


The Lõisian string orchestra has a much wider variety of instruments than our timeline's common-practice orchestra; it's comparable to Carleen Hutchins's Violin Octet. It's made up of the following instruments:
