Bards and Instruments, HELP!!

[Mono-Tone]

Ok so I am almost 56 and still rocking my store bought instruments like a champ!
This is the first time playing a bard and I dont quite understand how much the multipliers are. I can see that putting the correct instrument for my AE spells, doubles the damage. But what is the difference of say Han Drum and Selo's Drum of the March. I've looked and looked but could not see the difference as it relates to actual number multipliers. say I am doing 34 dmg per tick with my AE how much dmg would I do with the Selo's Drum.

Please no flaming, serious shit here!

no instrument = 1.0
vendor bought instruments such as hand drum, minotaur horn = 1.8
mistmoore battle drums and lute of the gypsy princess = 2.1
sharkskin drum and nostrolo tambourine = 2.2
selo's drums, mcvaxius horn, kelin's seven stringed lute, lyran's mystical lute, lyssa's darkwood piccolo = 2.4

bard epic counts as a 1.8 modifier for everything, including songs that do not have an instrument specialization

take the effect value of the song, multiply it by the values above depending on what you're using

Do you use 5 steps then tap left or the weird zoom out 3rd person view and watch for mobs in the corner of your screen?
