Definitely my suspicion as well. People would maybe have used it to bank in OT/Cabilis or do hammers but that's about it.
Hell, I didn't even buy it on here until Velious day 2 as I simply never had a need.

I actually had this song for a couple years in p99 but always equipped my flute to use it, expecting it would work as in live and boost it up, I never tried it with no flute before because it made no sense to sing the lesser version of it.
What I realized just now due to pure curiosity is that in this server not using the instrument gave me the same /con message, to my surprise.
Then I found this thread.
If this song could not be boosted by an instrument it would be singing based, and EVEN THEN it would be able to be affected by epic, like pretty much every singing song which is not a haste/slow/snare can, because it has the numbers for it.
Every song that is not merely an utility song (aka has no actual numbers for a way to get boosted like invis/levi/item ID/group DA etc etc) gets a boost from instruments, and pretty much every "utility song" let's call them, requires you to equip an instrument, there is no "lesser" or "stronger" version.
It really makes no sense that this one cannot be boosted, it is wind based, it does not require you to equip the instrument ,indicating there can be a stronger (wind instrument) and a lesser (sung) version of it.
I read Giegue's thread, it seems they took something that was working and broke it based on a "hunch", and since nobody else voiced their opinions or had the curiosity to check it (or even cared enough, everybody that played a bard on live knew that patch day was always scary because you never knew when they'd break bards due to the odd coding of the class).
Well I can't be the only bard that played on live to remember this.
Every evidence presented by you is already mountains enough to show that the song is currently broken in p99. But I could just write here about every song and show this simple "bard pattern" to songs I talked about (that would take a good while though).
