I'll be using an HQ light staff for songs, and a Joyeuse for soloing at engame levels. When I get my BRD to 70 my HNMLS will camp Char with me. They're also getting me a Minstrel's coat when my BRD is 62.
Some ppl think OMFG...why the hairpin? I think more MP helps BRDs better, seeing as how we make excellent backup healers. CHR won't be too low, and I'll be able to land my debuffs with the HQ light staff, so who cares. Just wanted to clear that up.
About instruments....I'm going +1 as much as I can, I know some are hard to get on my server, but I don't care, I'll farm as much as needed.

Minstrel's Coat is nice, but I haven't touched mine since I got access to Errant at 72. I can't tell any difference in resist rates, and Errant does have extra -Enmity.
Star Necklace has a hard time keeping pace with Wind Torque/String Torque, IMHO. But depends on what you're doing. I have all 3, and switch them out at need. If I could lay hands on a Fenrir's Torque, I'd definitely consider using that at night.
Melody Earring+1 is nice, but I'm rather fond of Healer's Earring for extended fights.
I'm not a huge personal fan of CHR gear end-game. Seems to me like no matter how much CHR I stack, if a HNM is resistant to something, my CHR won't matter much (with the single exception of Elegy). Shi'ar gear is nice, but it's lack of -enmity is a definite drawback in an long fight.
