I'm sure this has been suggested but it didn't turn up in a search. Even if not suggested I'm sure it's on someone's radar.

It'd be really neat if dwarves would play instruments and relatively easy to do (I guess).

A dwarf with the musician skill enabled would carry an instrument in their inventory at all times (provided their hands are free). Then as a low priority task they would sit in any meeting place playing their music. All the music would do is give (some) dwarves in the same room a happy thought.

Later you could expand it if you wanted so dwarves can get an unhappy thought for bad music or like/dislike certain instruments.

It is on someone's radar because this thread gets posted every month or so.    You said you searched but apparently didn't because a search for instrument brings up plenty of previous threads.   This idea is also in the devnotes, meaning Toady clearly plans to implement it.

Imagine the dulcet tones of a gabbro violin!  This feature can wait, if you ask me.  I'm more interested in kids playing with mini-forges and toy axes to get a head starts on skills and guide their moods.
