Craig HissettJust a couple of things to report:
After stumbling upon it in a Hackaday article I've become somewhat infatuated with the idea of using the software used in the http://zynthian.org/ project.
Pi based, DAC support and plenty of apps to try it seems perfect to use in my project.
I will focus on turning my Arduino portion into a MIDI device to work with the software as expected.
Also a little while ago I contacted a company that make a product called pBone, a lightweight and cheap plastic trombone that would make for a perfect mounting frame for this build. They finally got back in touch - hopefully if they are open to providing some parts that have failed QC or have been marked for the scrap heap I will be able to build my project around That!

After a few days of Zynthian research I have decided to take a simpler approach for the time being, and revert to setting up Fluidsynth on it's own on a Pi.
Zynthian is fecking phenomenal, however I think it's a bit too feature-rich for what I'm needing right now.
Once i have got the basic device function working I may revisit this decision, however at present I think installing Fluidsynth, a decent soundfont and writing a script to handle it all on startup is going to suit my needs.
I absolutely LOVE Zynthian though. I'd like to buy one of their kits in the future.
