I want a pan flute.  

Would be cool if they sold music notes or put them in treasure chests. Then when you select the flute, you can select a song or melody you would like to play. The hole you'd have to tap on the flute would change colors when you have to tap it.

Right now it's just people randomly smashing their fingers on the flute to make as much noise as possible.  

I definitely think instruments should exist; there should be areas where you cannot use them. You should have to collect music notes, agreed. Write your own music sheets to follow; save music sheets, buy them, sell them.
There shouldn't be any literal modern instruments; if there is a guitar, make it a horse's ribcage with the mane as strings. We could call it the "Hair" or "Mare Guitar"

Bands could be hired for nightclub events & parties; finally giving a purpose to all the bars & nightclubs around the server. People have to find underground spots for their bands to practice & make music.

Open mic nights.

this would be cool but would basically be a flute that produces different sounds, still cool i like the flute.

but nobody would even use any of these after a month and they'd be like wasted space

because that flute sucks
If they added the snow flute from un and and an ocarina things would be different  

Hey don't lag while driving

How about a conch shell instead of an ocarina?  

turn this into a poll... XD  

I was hoping this would do something since the NPC has a flute of his own.
 

I think that music has a lot of potential; not only for bands, and using nightclubs/stages—but also for playing tunes to maybe hypnotize or call a serpent; maybe a tune to make players drowsy (just as inspiration, not necessarily an actual feature). You know? Then questing for, making, buying sheet music as I mentioned; give you different abilities. Maybe a tune that would influence butterflies, birds, etc. to fly toward you (not necessarily to summon them). The conch shell could be used as an ocarina to attract the crabs or something—maybe turn them into friends. Attract worms, change wind direction—you name it

Same thing with the chest set on my furniture page, you get a music album and the sheets are added to your album.
