Where does one get musical instruments from?

[WereElf]

The bard gets one by default.
There is one in the 1-st container (barrel to the left of your "landing" location, when facing the temple/Shadowheart). Not sure if it's always a lute.
And you can get a lute from Alfira.
Where does one get the other instruments from?
I tried these merchants: the druid dwarf, the tiefling smith, the goblin trader, the mage gal, that Karlach wants you to kill, the trader within the Goblin temple.
I even tried trading with Alfira herself, as well as Volo, but neither of them had any musical instruments for sale. And I haven't managed to randomly stumble upon any in my travels (although I'm not that far into my playthrough).
So where can one get musical instruments from?

slaughter a bard is how I did it.

In the city of Baldur's Gate (Act III) there is a store with 2 floors. First floor is a jewelry shop (The Glitter Gala) while the second floor is a music shop (Chromatic Scale). Here you can find all the instruments. The closest waypoint is Baldur's Gate. If you walk south until you get to a plaza with a statue of Baldurian you will find the store east of the statue. I rather not say to much so I don't spoil anything. Hope it helps.

has anyone found any magical instruments? I feel like I found 2 before or shortly after act 2 but I can't remember what they did since I'm not playing a bard I think I sold them but I can't remember to who. I feel like one may have been something to do with spiders, and can't remember the other one.

The 'Spider Lyre' is looted from Minthara. It's magical in the sense that it's a quest item and can be used to progress a quest in act 2. It can also play a special song.
The other one I can think of as "magical" is "Lihala's Lute", which doesn't do anything special, but its name is colored in orange and makes it look magical.
Perhaps there are some others, but these are the ones that come to my mind...
Of course there is the flute that resurects Gale, but it looks like a normal flute in your inventory. And there is also another quest Lute in act 2 to 'wake up' one NPC.

There is a LOT of instrument in act 2 and 3 for sure. Alfira got a lute for act 1, drum/flute at goblin camp for sure. The instrument on the beach is random I think. You also get a spider lyre in selune temple make sure you keep that one. It should have been a quest item imo.

There's an instrument shop in Baldur's gate, it's literally the east building in the square below the Baldur's Gate waypoint. it's called the Chromatic Scale. (It's on the 2nd floor, above the Glitter Gala, a jewellery vendor.)
