Personally I think bards are getting the short end of the stick
when it comes to unique items.  Paladins have the Flaming Two-Handed Sword
and 4 or 5 others, Shadowknights the same, of course all the casters have
special items as well that boost mana or other things.
	But we bards have no BARD-SPECIFIC or even bard-flavored items
that I know of.  Wouldn't it be nice to have a special drum that gave
maybe a 10% boost to the Accelerando?  Or perhaps a fabled mandolin that
could instead of merely boosting the healing song, also remove disease or
poison or any adverse effects?  Heck, a weapon that acted as an instrument
would be great, as well.  Bone bladed lute?  Well, maybe scratch that one,
eh?
Later all, may your songs lift to the stars!
