I'm looking for a listing of the various musical forms and musical instruments that have been presented in most of the Realms material (regardless of the edition). Can anyone help me?
I have a few examples of my own to start with, but my list is at home. So does anyone else wish to start off?

Dragon #124 had an article by Ed on unique musical instruments of the Realms. They were:
glaur
hand-drum
thelarr
tocken
wargong
zulkoon

Thankyou George Krashos, I'll have to try and track that particular issue of Dragon down.
Does anyone know of any other old sources like the one George Krashos just mentioned?

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

The ol' greybox had some Realmsian musical instruments detailed as well. Although, I'm not sure whether that material was also included in the Dragon article George was talking about. The 2eGrand Tour of the Realms also reprinted some of that older musical instrument information.

Aurora's Whole Realms Catalog had a very nice list of instruments as well. Many were generic, but several that have been mentioned above were also included.

| I believe the Players Guide to the Forgotten Realms (not to be confused with the Players Guide to Faerun) has a panel featuring instruments too. |

That's a good catch Rad, I'd forgotten about that one. Although I think that material was taken from the Grand Tour tome that I mentioned earlier. Much of that information was actually.

"Music of the Forgotten Realms" (Dragon #123*) is the main source.
My list has
bandore, birdpipe, cittern, drum, dulcimer, fourpipes, glaur, hand-drum, handharp, harp, horn, longhorn, lute, lyre, mandolin, organ, pipe, psaltery, rebec, shawm, songhorn, tantan, thelarr, tocken, trumpet, wargong, yarting, zulkoon
?: baliset, crumhorn, duskhorn, reed-flute
* You won't regret getting #124, which has "Sailors on the Sea of Air" and "The Ecology of the Gelatinous Cube". It's the Dragon Magazine Archive CD-ROMs you want, though. |

| I'd suggest paying attention to the instruments of Focluchan's(I probably got that wrong, no way to check right now) college-and George(Krashos')'s article on plays and songs of the Realms on this site may be some help with the list of musical forms. |
