I'm thinking the opposite -- since we already have the tuba for the lower end, we should actually have a piccolo. The tuba hurts the enemy by its low frequency wave that can bend the space; the piccolo penetrates the enemy's brain and gives them headaches and affects their movement, aiming, or eyesight.

The current game control for the tuba isn't by its 4 valves, but by the direction (w, a, s, d, wa, as, sd, dw), with fire/fire2 -- that's 16 notes. See
this post for details. So the same control also works for accordion, and the double bass as well.

Good idea. We can just use the same set of control keys.
