Quick note for folks out there, especially the non epiced. Concerto, which seems to increase all instruments and voice, will grant the ability to sings songs that require an instrument without equipping the instrument. Tested with Shauri's Sonorous Clouding. It might be a better value than seperate wind and string modifiers if you want to mix in a chorus while grouping and an invis while swarming.

but is it still less mod than epic? or still worth getting if epiced?

Well, how many times do you end up naked and needing to run through a cave invis'd without Travel song?

If i am dead and naked w/ no wind instrument in the bank then i need to delete my toon. if my backup(s) is already on a corpse then typically i use fading memories to inviz myself since it has an infinite duration.

actually at my lvl 56 I found if I get seperate instruments tributes I did 1 drum , and maxed chorus and string for my lvl tier 4 i belive. I found that with this I actually had a higher mod but burned less points

Fading memories :)

Do the tribute instrument effects stack with epic and other instruments, or is it like you have an instrument augment on your armor (or lack of if your nekkid).

They don't stack. It's like you have an instrument augment, so only the best one would take effect (and Epic is better than these). They are still very useful IMHO. I'm thinking about using the Percussion tribute if I pick up another good weapon, as currently I have mods for all types except Percussion (and use a Battle Drummer for that). It's fun to bag the Epic every once in awhile.
