music by player

[Malzian]

I'm curious, what in the game's lore makes you say that the citizens of Eorzea can't play music?

Specifically in this game, nothing, but typically in FF games the only people that have ever played music have been bards. It's not that no one else -could-, just that up to this point no one else -has-. (Note, I am not counting Celes' singing in VI as playing music.)
