A well-crafted wooden lute suitable for street performance and tavern work. Tuned and ready.

None. Can be used as an improvised melee weapon ( bludgeoning) if necessary.

A finer instrument with a warm tone, carved rosette, and improved resonance for performance checks.

Provides a +1 instrument bonus to Performance checks when used in an extended (10+ minute) performance at the DM's discretion.

A light, hand-held lyre favored by traveling minstrels. Bright and responsive.

When you use this lyre as part of a Performance or Persuasion check directed at a crowd (10+ NPCs), gain advantage once per long rest.

A modest pan flute that produces haunting melodies. Easy to conceal.

Can be used to mimic simple bird calls and whistles (Nature/Performance flavor).

A stout hand drum, ideal for setting rhythm for a troupe or for battlefield signals.

When used to rally allies, the DM may grant temporary advantage on a single Performance-based morale check once per short rest.

A colourful, durable costume with hidden pockets for picks, coins, and a small vial.

Grants +2 to Disguise kit checks or Performance checks when dressing for a show.

A flamboyant hat that conceals small changes in appearance (standard Hat of Disguise functionality).

Allows the wearer to cast disguise self at will (as the item; concentration not required).

A magically tempered lute. When wielded as an instrument, it seems to hum with stored resonance.

Atk Grants +1 to attack and damage rolls when the instrument is used as an improvised weapon. Once per short rest, you can expend a bonus action to grant an ally within 30 ft. a bonus to one ability check or saving throw made within the next minute.

A neatly penned scroll with a flourishing chorus of notation — contains a single casting of charm person.

A creature that can read the scroll can cast charm person. If the spell is on the reader's class list, they can cast it; otherwise, the scroll is unintelligible.

A single sheet of catchy melody and lyrics that helps settle a rowdy crowd when performed.

When performed (action + Performance check, DC set by DM), may grant advantage to attempts to calm or distract a small crowd. One-use; the sheet can be learned into a bard's repertoire at the DM's discretion.

A small pouch containing replacement strings, picks, and a vial of rosin.

None.

A bag of trinkets: juggling balls, a silver coin to vanish, a small perfume vial, a handful of colored ribbons.

Useful for sleight of hand or Performance; grants +1 to a single Sleight of Hand or Performance check if the DM agrees a prop is relevant.
Armor1

A silvery cloak embroidered with musical notation. It seems to flutter in time with distant rhythms.

While wearing the cloak, once per short rest you can invoke its soothing weave to grant yourself or an ally within 10 ft. advantage on a Performance or Persuasion check. Additionally, the cloak muffles movement, giving advantage on any Stealth check to hide from a crowd (not from creatures with passive Perception > 15).
Potions2

A small vial of red liquid that heals wounds when drunk.

Heal 8 HPStandard potion of healing: heals HP when consumed.

A larger vial with a brighter glow. More restorative than the common potion.

Heal 20 HPHeals HP when consumed.

Shop Atmosphere

The shop plays soft, live music during the day — Maribel insists on auditioning potential customers who want discounts. She will often trade rare instruments for a particularly moving performance or a curious story; her back room contains a noticeboard of bards' gigs, occasional rumors stitched into scrap paper, and a tame thrush that whistles in thirds when someone lies.
