light flight's got a grecian aesthetic; i'd give us a lyre! plague's got a right to claim the harp imo since their latest fest apparel featured one. bone xylophone would also be fun
edit: posted this and then squinted at it and realized belatedly that plague's "harp" is also a lyre. well we've got to duke it out now

As I plague, I absolutely accept the harp for the last apparel, but at the same time, consider:

I'm going to say fire has bagpipes. They are carried under the arm to keep air warm, and fire dragons would be able to do that job easily.

Please don't quote me.
seashell horns for us obviously, also carve whale bones into horns and maybe pianos?
also banjos, fiddles, harmonicas and flutesand empty rum bottles for sea shanties! just look at churnscar wharf and tell me they arent the sea shanty crowd
also banjos, fiddles, harmonicas and flutes

Plague's is a xylophone-harp, [i]apparently.[/i] /salt
But seriously, in terms of culture?
[emoji=wind rune size=1] Wind is the most musically-oriented flight, but specifically I could see them making enormous woodwind-style instruments (out of bamboo, maybe?) that they play by using magic to direct wind through them. Like a church organ made out of flutes.
[emoji=fire rune size=1] Fire is a flight full of miners and metallurgists, so I imagine they're fond of drums/percussion that mimic the sound of stomping and singing during work. They could shape brass instruments too, so you might find the occasional Fire flight performer, but probably not in a group.
[emoji=shadow rune size=1] Shadow plays violins, but only at the screechy horror sting range. That, and/or I could see them enjoying piano.
[emoji=ice rune size=1] Tundras would probably like soft music and lullabies. There isn't much to make instruments out of in the Southern Icefield, but they're getting the metal to make chains from [i]somewhere[/i], so they must also be able to make metal instruments. Gaolers probably wouldn't spend the time on music, but I could see them learning call-and-response songs to keep track of each other when patrolling or hunting down abominations, especially during blizzards when visibility is low.
[emoji=water rune size=1] Shell flutes, maybe? Not a lot of instruments... work underwater. Abovewater, Flotsam Town probably has a hodgepodge of makeshift instruments.
[emoji=nature rune size=1] It's tempting to say they make wood instruments, but cutting down and shaping wood like that might also be seen negatively, depending on the clan. Maybe they, like Wind, use magic to shape wood into living instruments, like drums or woodwinds.
[emoji=light rune size=1] Huge choral/orchestral performances. Light performers have a lot of sheet music.
[emoji=arcane rune size=1] Synth-like music conjured from pure magic, or other very experimental weird instruments. Arcane music is probably a very culturally specific thing, and other flights who didn't grow up with it find it kind of weird and not very "musical"-sounding.
[emoji=earth rune size=1] Big drums again, and slow, mournful ballads. When an Earth flight group puts on a performance, you [i]feel[/i] it.
[emoji=plague rune size=1] There's not a lot of time in the Wasteland for proper music, but I could see someone putting together some kind of plucky strings out of leather or sinew. Singing would be discouraged in most cases (can't let your prey know you're coming!) but when it's late and you're not hunting, I could see haunting songs about death coming up.
[emoji=lightning rune size=1] Lightning flight music is engineered to be catchy and increase motivation and productivity. ...Lightning k-pop.

I realize this is probably way more thought than you were expecting but oh well :P
