A bard whose instrument is their body, with ritual scarification and small reeds pierced into their flesh, so different dance movements cause different sounds.
A "bard" but they're also a sorcerer (which they themselves have no idea about), and their instrument are these two flat plates.
Basically, they're a magical DJ.

Haven’t read all the way through this thread so I don’t know if anything like this idea has ever come up.
I have a tabaxi who sometimes does a one man band thing where he plays the lute, has a set of birdpipes on a brace in front of his face like a harmonica, wears bells on his ankles that chime as he stomps his feet, and beats a drum fashioned out of an old hat box with a mallet he holds in his tail.
To further enhance his performance I homebrewed a Figurine of Wondrous Power of a chonky little songbird made of quartz that my DM was happy to allow. To activate it he holds it in his palm in front of his face and sings “do re me fa so la ti do”. It transforms into an actual bird that hops up his arm and perches on his shoulder. He then turns to it and tells it the name of the song, the instrument, and the key. When he begins to play his lute the bird starts to “sing” in accompaniment with the sound/key of whatever instrument he tells it. I have used it as flute accompaniment, for example, since the bard’s lute occupies his hands.
It is purely flavor as I have given it no mechanical benefit, but my DM gives advantage to the bard’s Performance check when I utilize it. Of course it is something that has to be literally attuned—he has to teach it the songs on whatever instruments he wants it to emulate, but it is intuitive enough to change keys as well as make some improvisational choices within the tune. He named it Louis Charmsong.
Just made my first bard and I immediately thought of a Kazoo. I will have a real one at the table this week for my first use! Can’t wait!

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.

"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.

Please tell me you've posted that as a homebrew magic item! I mean... it's been seven years!
"is proficient in organs" is the most Bard thing I've ever read.
