No. The melee range is bigger, yes, but Chords of Dissonance in particular used to be able to hit things behind the camera if you zoomed all the way out when in chase cam. It got tons of us killed, and it's what led to a lot of bards habitually using the long-range camera mode. The current range on Chords of Dissonance is nowhere *near* what it was in 1999, or even in Kunark and Velious.

Edit - and instruments don't affect range, no.
