Instruments

Instruments are items used to play music, either manually or with a music sheet. The majority of them can be crafted using a Music Workbench, although the Ocarina can only be found in naturally-generated chests.

For players trying to learn how to play music without the use of the in-game music sheets, see the sheet music guide.
