Is it possible to enchant an instrument so whenever its played a certain effect happens? (Whatever the enchantment was placed on it is activated when played, or to act as a amulet of sorts)Or is it possible to bind an entity to the instrument?(sort of like what you would do with a piece of jewelry or mirror, or something along those lines)

A musical instrument can be charged with different kinds of energy. Like a tool they can be used to help gather and redirect energy as well as hold energy. Each person who plays any instrument adds their own energy to the instrument while they gather and manipulate energy to produce the sounds heard. The Pied Piper or a snake charmer who uses an instrument to manipulate animals are two examples of types of charms or enchantments placed on a musical instrument. It is very possible to use music and the instruments used to create the sounds in magical castings because sound helps to manifest desired intentions. This is why chanting is used to raise energy for magical workings as well as drums, rattles, bells, flutes, and even strings. Consecration of a musical instrument will help to solidify the intentions of the caster in their creation ofa magical tool or charm. Cleanse the instrument by passing it through the smoke from burning sage or another cleansing herb. Then state your intentions for the instrument before playing the instrument. You can repeat the intentions and song as many times as you feel you need to. Each time this is repeated it will increase the energy of the manifestation and solidifying the intentions. You can also state multiple intentions with songs played in between. They can all be different or you can repeat the same thing multiple times, very much like many songs already are with their verses.
