Make Music Matter More!

The problem with the Bard: Bards are described as "invoking magic through music, dance, and verse", yet neither the performance skill (exception: Relicborn from Crooked Moon!), nor the choice of instrument have a mechanical impact on the (core-)game. How can that be? Performance is often considered the worst skill proficiency in the game, mechanically completely worthless and performance checks never come up, except for "roleplay flavor". So, I have some suggestions to make the performance skill and choice of instrument matter! What's y'all's opinion on this? Would you implement these in your game?
