banjo is the only correct answer.

...

Singing, because they can still use their hands for other things. Like combat. And handjobs.

I always wanted to make a bard that juggled for his bardic performance. Like. He juggles so god damn hard that it inspires people to fight harder.

Bayan Accordion.
It was Skulls & Shackles
He was a Slav Drow

Bass guitar

Andrew WK is probably the most orky dude around

Perform (Mime) is the objectively best choice.

Drums are where it's at.

Not sure how historical, but it's just wire and therefore plausible enough.

And for any naval campaign, concertina is just the best. Portable, instantly recognizable, kind of plausible too.

>Not giving him the voice of the gods

I've always wanted to make a bard that plays the daxophone, since it sounds terrifying but kinda pretty. Looks like this one seems to rely on amplification.

Name your bard Bo Diddley or something

Balalaika would inspire the party and the ennemies ! For fuck sake, the Gods will be inspired too

Bladder fiddles
Musical bows (berimbau and diddley bow)
