I'd focus on getting instrument upgrades, since most of your power as a bard come from your songs.
1 - Get Mistmoore Battle Drums and Lute of the Gypsy Princess from Mistmore. You should at least have these.
2 - Do the Nostrolo Tambourine quest. This is super fun and you might be able to do the entire thing yourself, although you may want to bring a friend for the Dalnir and Kaesora parts.
3 - At your level, you can charm kill hill giants (just do it, it's good exp) in Rathe Mountains and get some great money while doing it. Doing that from 46-51 will yield you more than enough money to get a McVaxius' Horn of War.
4 - Wind instrument upgrades aren't really necessary, but for the sake of bard adventuring you could hunt for a Unicorn Horn.
Armor-wise, I'm not sure what's beyond Lambent in classic/Kunark, but:
1 - Hero Bracer quest is easy and will probably yield an upgrade from what you have.
2 - Use some of the money you get from hill giants to buy a Singing Steel Bracer, Gauntlets, and Helm, since they have very useful effects.
3 - Post-52 start trying to get into Kael groups so you can upgrade to Thurgadin armor
