From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
Instruments used by a Bard to add effects to fellow party members or a party's enemy. Most of the instruments give boosts to certain songs that can be sung by a bard, which is why it's always great to have the +1 versions of the instruments.
Buff songs played with Wind Instruments have an area of effect of 10'.
Debuff songs played with Wind Instruments have higher Magic Accuracy than songs played with String Instruments. Mary's Horn and Piccolo +1 don't boost the songs' effects as much as Nursemaid's Harp and Sorrowful Harp, but the songs land more consistently.
Each +1 to a song on an instrument increases its duration by 10%, and also increases its effect. All buff songs have a base duration of 120 seconds, or 2 minutes.
The maximum equipment bonus to Wind Instrument Skill is +52, from Gjallarhorn, Nereid Ring x2, Wind Torque, Wind Earring, Musical Earring, Minstrel's Coat, Bard's Cuffs +1, Choral Cannions +1, and Oracle's Pigaches.
The maximum combined bonus to Wind Instrument Skill and Singing Skill is +83, from Gjallarhorn, Chanter's Staff, Marduk's Tiara, Wind Torque, Wind Earring, Musical Earring, Nereid Ring x2, Minstrel's Coat, Choral Cuffs +1, Astute Cape, Choral Cannions +1, and Oracle's Pigaches.
