Do the modulars ever include new moulds? Just wondering if a music shop could provide us with new instrument moulds. A proper trumpet or something to add to make a brass band or orchestra would be nice.

The Jazz Club included the double bass so the modulars have had new moulds in the past. I'd love a couple of new instruments if the next one is a music shop.

I think they got it for "free" from Vidiyo after it retired early, so do not expect any new moulds with the modulars if that is the only one we have gotten

Maybe they mean a music store as in LPs and CDs. 

That was my thought as well. If that's the case, makes me wonder what architectural style they would go for. Like how some in the real world are just tucked away in some old brick building, and others try and play up the "retro" or vintage theme on the outside.

I don't think so. They get newly available moulds, but not things specifically made for them. Of course, LEGO makes the rules and can change them at any time. 

Jazz club got a previously unreleased double bass, but that was made for Vidiyo and then never released.

Edit: didn't see the next page of replies to this! Ha!

Not exactly a new mold but that part was introduced in Vidiyo. Before Vidiyo could get discontinued, they were very lucky to get that double bass mold. 

Correction: that double bass piece was not released in Vidiyo theme as it was discontinued. Lucky for designers to get that piece!

I still can’t believe there is no a trumpet mold yet!

I wonder if there were any other Vidyo moulds not released and therefore more instruments hiding. Probably would have seen them by now though I guess.

There was a dinosaur head mould, but I don't recall seeing any other instruments. Could well be. We have another couple of years before the 'five-year rule' for retiring unused moulds, so if there are any more, there's a small chance they could come out.
