Instrument playing in ashes of creation

Some MMO's out there (GW2) have communities dedicated towards playing instruments to form an orchestra/band. It's a cool nifty feature I was wondering if Steven would consider adding this system to Ashes of creation? (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IMqSAoijbE)
The players actually press their keys to create their own songs or play existing tunes (I know scripts exist but theres no fun in that!)
It's 100% an activity that would bring in the crowds at taverns or a town square, it fits perfectly in its own little niche in an MMO world.

I just want it to be bard only because they are the instrument players. Class fantasy thing. That said I would not be opposed to a system either that using a system like this can create custom songs that grant buffs. Just single character hour long buffs though that is shared with consumable buffs.
There is no reason why it can't do both as long as the actual gameplay side effect is extremely minor.
I go to larry for his custom mana regen buff and go to moe for his custom health regen buff. Kind of demographic among bards. Since they are actual songs as well it will be more fun to listen to than the screeching of a banshee murdering a harpy to the tune of scraping nails on a chalkboard.

I want to play this if we were to get such a thing. xD

My hobbit was named: "Afro Grooves, father of rhymes"
I had to make my friend make a character named rhymes to get that above my head.
This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.
Instruments for bards would be cool. Instruments for everyone would be annoying; it's easy to ignore people emoting all the time in town but not when they're constantly playing instrument sounds.
It's just recreationally fun if I can relax under a tree after a quest and play a little tune on my flute. And the more reasons the game has for players to stick around, the livelier the world will feel.
Couldn't agree more.
Something that Sea of Thieves implemented properly.
