Looping Music in VN's


It seems to be a standard in VN's to have persistent, looping music that changes once in a while depending on the scene. My personal preference would be to only have music part of the time at key moments—more like a movie—but I quickly realized that only works in a VN with voice-acting. Otherwise, it's awkwardly silent. I do plan to run a Kickstarter campaign sometime in the next few months, and voice-acting will be a stretch goal, but because it's so expensive, I'm not sure it will happen. In the meantime, I'm already composing more music for the VN in case I need to have persistent, looping music throughout. I intend for all the music in my VN to be original music. I was wondering, which of these instrument choices do you like or dislike: Guitar (classical and electric), piano, and violin. I may also include a limited amount of synthesized music, but the main instruments I have access to and can compose for are guitar, piano, and violin, which I'd use in different combinations, including solo instrument arrangements. There is also a possibility of me purchasing some software to add synthesized instruments as well. Thoughts?
