Take the noble background; the servants you get are your back-up band. Yes, you were born into a life of privilege, but what true gentleman (woman) isn't able to dance, play an instrument, cast spells that influence people, etc? Also: as a DM had an NPC bronze dragon with levels of bard and a pipe organ in her lair she used for spellcasting. Grand pianos aren't exactly portable, but you could fit one of those giant Japanese drums into a portable hole, maybe, or have your artificer friend craft you a collapsible alpenhorn.
A bard whose instrument is their body, with ritual scarification and small reeds pierced into their flesh, so different dance movements cause different sounds.

Keep in mind I'm in the UK so my time zone's GMT.
Definitely not an undead.
I homebrewed an instrument of the bard into the dragon dagger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. When played it also sounds like a trumpet.
I Favor the Accordion, but I'd love to see someone play some obnoxious mix of Bagpipes and an Accordion. wait a minute, i could do that...
That would be awsome, now i know what i should give my granpha a magical version of
So a guitar 🤣
My bard has a harmonica with the neck holder, so he has his hands free. His nickname is Morricone.
"Semper in faecibus sumus, solo profundum variat"
playing since 1986
"Bird Pipes" should be an instrument for mimicking birds, not just (boring)Pan Pipes.
Just sayin'
"Txalaparta", a basque instrument played by two musicians

A bard whose instruments are instruments of torture. Scalpel, pairing knife, etc.
