The bard's musical instruments

[KaffeeRausch]

Would you be dissatisfied if there was only one lute for the bard?

Many instruments can mean a lot of work-
-Pro people different animation when holding, playing and pulling.
-The tones must be recorded.
-If you go one step further, there is also a different Kompinisation of the notes for each musical instrument per spell.

Since you can choose knowledge of 3 musical instruments when creating the character, would it have to be at least 3 instruments for the bard?

What would you wish for?

PS: Now please do not count the water pipe as a musical instrument.

If they make my bard sing this...
"Peril in their eyes, the battle has begun
Death becomes the ashes of the evils yet to come
Inquisitor's delight, a destiny it shines
Magister your ancient hand is broken in the light"
I will forget any transgressions they might commit against humanity

If the bard kept singing like that without getting bored at some point, it would be cool.

That would almost rock as if the bard at level 4 would take the feat "Artificer Initiate" and run around with an Electric guitar.

Singing or an instrument doesn't matter to me, as long as I can make my silly idea of a Dragonborn bard character.

Why stop there? Let them implement a full EDM Cyberdeck!

A bit. I'd like to see the bard have a harp and a flute as well.

I fully agree with you. They have created so many kinds of fruits and cups after all.

The only question is whether it would also be wrong that different instruments only give certain bonuses / reinforcements, because paladins / priests cannot all blessings at the same time and are dependent on God.

There must be a reason that, according to PHB 3, bards can learn musical instruments but only with one start.

Such differences are more likely covered by college, or were there not even rules for D&D 2 - 3 - 3.5 times that certain spells only work with certain instruments.

I can somehow remember that the skill "performance" was important how well you play the instrument.
