If you play near Alfira, she'll join in with her lute. That way, with four proficient party members, you can have all five instruments playing along at once.

The Bard at the Druid Grove had a Lute that was a quest item. In my playthrough she died after the druids kicked out all the Teiflings so I only got it after she died at the Blighted Village
