Just a Face and a Caption: Sound Stone

In the current image, there is no indication that the musical MacGuffin is being used for some purpose other than the dialogue box, making it JAFAAC. It should be replaced with an image that displays someone visibly playing a song and then an image showing the results of playing that song.

I think this could be difficult to find a good pic for but isn't necessarily a BUPKIS case.

Previous thread. And the thread before that.

Current is really weak, but it's illustrative enough to keep unless we get a good replacement.

This is gonna be tougher, considering the trope doesn't seem to be thriving and some of the examples on the page seem to fit some other Magic Music trope better.

Still, my opinion on the pic is more or less 'better than nothing'. The caption can probably be changed to something explaining that he needs to collect more for the plot.

Pull current.

The one alternative that comes to mind for me, while not the best image, might be a shot of The Wailing Stone from Steven Universe next to Greg's amps, comme sa.◊

EDIT: Alternatively, this shot?◊

Those might work.

^^ Not feeling those.

I'm not crazy about them either, but I wasn't sure how else to convey this trope visually.

If we decide not to go with current or the Wailing Stone, should we BUPKIS this?

While the Wailing Stone could be considered a MacGuffin, it seem a bit too literal for me. For reference, here is the old (hard to read) image over which an IP thread voted to restore the current.
