And a falcon for knights. 
Basically the idea is the following, what if Crafters were able to create ocarinas, flutes and other wind instruments. These instruments could then play tunes for people's entertainment. Also, to take this a step forward...
What if Knights had as a new skill an ability to call for a falcon (or any other bird of prey) as companion, but to do this, the Knight would require to possess an Ocarina and have someone else engrave it with some magical runes causing the wind instrument to allure a falcon with a melody.
Now, the falcon companion could only be summoned during the daytime, but other birds of prey could be summoned during the nighttime. In order for this to work, the ocarinas should have to be engraved with different runes (a rune sequence for a falcon, another rune sequence for owls, another rune sequence for a vulture, another rune sequence for a eagle, another rune sequence for a hawk, another rune sequence for a crow, and so on). In other words, the Knight would have to possess the right sequence of runes to get the bird they want, also the birds would only accompany their companion either during the daytime (for diurnal birds) or nighttime (nocturnal birds).
How this melodius system of summoning could work is the following:
New skill: Charmer (can someone come up with a better name?)
Syntax: Lure (bird of prey) - always depending on your rune sequence and time of day)
Beseech the Winds for the assistance of one of their children.
Also, listed under Charmer (or another skill) there could be commands for the bird. Some of them requiring for the knight play a tune or not)
Tune Name- Attune your spirit with that of your companion BIRD GLANCE will allow you to see through your bird's eyes.
Tune Name- Order your bird to track someone
Tune Name- Order your bird to LAND or RISE onto the clouds
Tune Name- Order your bird to attack when you are far away from it to issue the command
Tune Name- Order the bird retrieve something
Tune Name- Order the bird deliver something
Tune Name- Resummon the bird to your side
*Tune Name- Liberate your bird from your side
*As an added bonus, to show gratefulness towards the bird, one could FEED it, if not... then a knight may not be as lucky to summon the bird next time.
Normal attacks like FOLLOW, ATTACK, etc. that require the ent be at the same room could be issued with the normal commands.

Um, well... I proposed ocarnias and all that for crafters because it would be a nice feature. Like maybe people being able to make their own melodies, or a feature like PLAY OCARINA, and some random tunes came out. If they possessed enchantments would be even better... but maybe the kind of effects Yrael suggests would be easy to abuse (you already cause too much trouble to Serenwilde 
). Maybe small effects like um... get rats to follow you 
Part rivers, make plants grow faster, and so on.
The falcon suggestion came because I believe it would be an awesome idea for knights to have companions back. Adding the rune sequence for a way to control or summon a specific bird, once the ocarina were lost... so would be the contact with the bird. Until a new ocarina were acquired and runed.
Also, instruments wouldn't require changing parts... that would be too realistic, even though not instruments do require part changing. In fact, the decay rate would be enough as life rate for an instrument. 100 months of life?
Edit: Sorry, Richter... but no violins! Just wind instruments... and probably a lyre for you string instrument fans!

Playing the flute to get gangs of people following you would be too Pied Piper for me 
But you could have a tune called Charm.
Play Charm By creating this most sublime tune, your audiance will be completely tantalized unable to accomplish anything as your tune charms their very spirit.
Basically, what this tune could do, is while you play it... your target (audiance), would find himself "petrified" completely unable to move while you play the tune. Now, the trick here is that this powerful melody causes the ocarina to accelerate it's decay per time you spent playing (5 mins of time playing about -20 months of ocarina life), also, it could cost a small mana fee to play.
