Musical instruments are a type of item that can be played to create sound. Currently, none of the instruments have any practical use. Playing held instruments will slow down the player.
Bone Flute
Obtaining
Bone Flutes are made from Hollow Bones. Hollow Bones are an uncommon drop from Pheasants and Chickens. Crafting a Hollow Bone with any type of Knife has a 1 in 4 chance of creating a Bone Flute. This will also produce Bone Fragments and Bone Meal.
Usage
Bone Flutes are woodwind instruments. They can be played by
Right Clicking while they are held. Different notes can be played by playing the Bone Flute while holding down any combination of the F, G, H, J, and B keys (as well as none of them). The Bone Flute can be used to play any note from F#3 to C#6.
To play a particular note, the following keys must be held down:

Drums
Obtaining
The Drums can be crafted with Leather, two Strings and either a Barrel for a large drum, or a Wooden Bucket for a small drum.
Usage
Drums are percussive instruments. They can be played by placing them on the ground and then either left-clicking or right-clicking them. Large Drums create a lower pitched sound, while small drums create a higher pitched one.
Holding exactly two sticks while playing the drums will produce a different sound. While holding two sticks, a rimshot can be performed by pressing the H key while clicking on the drums.
If there is a drum on the left side of the drum, it can be hit by pressing F and left-clicking. Likewise, a drum on the right side of a drum can be played by pressing G and right-clicking.
Lyre
Obtaining
The Lyre is crafted in two stages. First, an Unstrung Lyre is crafted with a stick and three Lumber. Then, the lyre can be crafted with the unstrung lyre and five matching Strings.
Usage
The Lyre is a stringed instrument. It can be played by
Right Clicking. Unlike other instruments like the Bugle, all the strings will be played by default. The Lyre works by muting strings using the F, G, H, J, and B keys while playing it. For example, if the F, G, H, and B keys are held, the string represented by J will be played.
Bugle
Obtaining
The Bugle is made by smithing Brass on an Anvil. A Brass Sheet can be worked into a Brass Tube, which can then be made into the Bugle.
Usage
The Bugle is a simple brass musical instrument. Like its real life counterpart, the Bugle is able to play five notes: C3, G3, C4, E4, and G4. In game, the Bugle is played by holding down one of the F, G, H, or J keys (or none of them), then
Right Clicking.
Despite the limitations of the instrument, the Bugle can be used to create complex melodies. Because it equates directly to the real life instrument, real melodies like Reveille can be played in game.

Blowing Horn
The Blowing Horn is crafted using a Knife and a Horn, which is an uncommon drop from male Aurochs. It can be played by
Right Clicking. The pitch or note cannot be changed.
Conch Horn
The Conch is crafted from a Seashell that must be of the conch variety. The Conch can be directly crafted back into a seashell. Similar to the Blowing Horn, right-clicking the conch will produce a sound and the pitch or note cannot be changed.
Ceramic Jug
The Ceramic Jug is not primarily an instrument. However, when the jug is empty, right-clicking will blow a note determined by the vertical angle that the player is looking. A low angle will produce a note of a low pitch, while a high angle will produce a note of high pitch. Right-clicking a block will not produce a sound.
