Attune (Bard Skill)
Attune Level : 10 Skill : Musicianship Syntax : attune <instrument> with <reagent> Cost : 75 sp Component : Woodtine With attune, you combine your ear for music and your desire to make everything sound perfect. Instruments can be tuned as many as three times, and tuned instruments perform better in combat.
Commentary
Be careful with this, as it's possible to render an instrument tuneless. I wouldn't recommend tuning an instrument without an inspire until at or above player level 30.
Other opinions differ, as replacing a fabricated instrument is relatively easy. Perhaps a good experiment would be to create instruments and try to tune them repeatedly to see what your success rate is to the different levels (75% finely, 40% silver, 5% gold). Generally speaking, high level and/or a good inspire are necessary to gold-tune an instrument.
Trivia
During the "A2" incarnation of Astaria, a mayhem item known as the Gloves of Perfect Pitch could be among the rewards. It has not been seen since the "A3" incarnation, which could possibly indicate the wizard that coded the item was removed from the game. It would add a fourth possible attunement to instruments. This has recently been confirmed to no longer exist.
