You are welcome to use a Recorder, it may be the only case of public death from RP that I would be likely to see, inform me so I can grab my popcorn ICly.
Otherwise, here is a link to follow for some examples of what we can actually see:

Click this and hit the "Musical Instrument" tag to get an idea. Otherwise it would have us assume that bards commonly use a lyre as seen in job animations. Almost any instrument can be created within reason I think. Using Allagan technology, Ishgardian precision, Garlean ingenuity, even turntables wouldn't be out of the question and maybe microphones to a certain extent. This would need careful planning and the right setting however, and probably wouldn't be something for everyday RP unless you commission ICly to craft such a thing with the proper tools and skills.
