I am finding the drop rate of parts needed to expend the scarecrow band already too low for me to even bother stressing about trying to finish this quest, but I am going to have a go at the world event, I like that I can still do one without the other
Yes, well, it isn't exactly easy to make a tunes when "a few deliveries" don't result in any Musical Note drops. I guess I could do regular non-Platinum tapes and come out ahead with the sheet music--maybe--and while it might also result in more Soundproof Boards (since 1 regular tape = 1 board while 1 Platinum tape = 3 boards, so quantity-wise regular tapes might offer better results), there's still the time factor to consider.
As well as the fact the Musical Notes are still dropping very, very rarely for me (like 1 every 20-30 deliveries).
About the tapes
Tapes take 2 hours to make in the Scarecrow Band
1 hour in the Boom Box
Playing the tape in the Boom Box will get you a random item:
Random number of Sheet music or event items
Making tapes in the Scarecrow Band gives a set number of sheet music
Slot 1 and 2 are in the Scarecrow Band when it arrives.
1 sheet music from a tape
Numbers increase substantially if you open more slots in the Scarecrow Band.
Slot 3
I think was 5 sheet music
Slot 4
10 sheet music
Slot 5
20 sheet music
Slot 6
40 sheet music
Slot 7
65 sheet music
My above numbers are based on platinum Tapes.
The advantage in the beginning to platinum Tapes is they return 3 soundproof Beams important for upgrading the Scarecrow Band. BUT you have to use 5 music notes to make 1 platinum tape
So keep sending those planes and refresh any item that too long to make or not easy to find in the paper or neighbours stores.
I hate planes but flying this many helps to level up.
The way this world event was done is new to us and a learning curve.
Let's give it a chance and see how it goes.
Hats off to the designers of these animated decorations....they are outstanding.
A lot of thought went into this event.

At this point, unless I suddenly manage to get a lot of Musical Notes (a possibility, though remote) dropping from a series of deliveries (which is not likely to happen since I keep getting asked for long-time-to-craft items), I think it might be best for me to stick to making regular tapes and getting just 1 Soundproof Beam at a time...which may actually work to my advantage since it won't cost me as many Musical Notes to make fewer beams (1:1 of Musical Note to Beam versus 5:3 of Musical Note to Beam for the Platinum Tape), though it will take longer...but then again, with Notes dropping so rarely, it's not like I'm backlogged or anything.
