Hi, hoping some bards can help me out here!
1- How exactly do you go about swapping your lute for horn, when alternating between Chords and Devon's? I have been doing fine swarming, using the strafing method, but I am obviously missing something. I begin my strafe by holding my left and right mouse to run forward, holding strafe key, hitting enter 2x and then im locked into a sideways strafe if I let go of my mouse. I have to hold both mouse buttons to circle while strafing, and can use hotkeys to switch songs, but my mouse is being used, so how do I swap lute for horn and vice versa?

You need to hold you keyboard forward key instead of left click. It should lock in a straight line movement going diagonally forward.

Swapping: if you hold left click on your primary weapon slot, you can create a hotkey for that slot; do the same for secondary slot and for two top-level inventory slots and you can create a hotkey set that lets you swap instruments and weapons. It doesn't work with item slots inside bags; only top-level inventory slots. Of course, this means you should only be carrying six bags (some players carry even fewer).
This would probably be hotkey set 2 or 3, or at least something other than 1.
Note that you can cast songs by hitting Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, etc.

That seems to be the most popular way to do it, but I keep a bag open and swap instruments from the bag instead of inventory slots. Saves on both inventory slots and hotkeys, but you have to reopen the bag every time you zone or use your close all bags hotkey.
I recommend rebinding the spell hotkeys to something more comfortable than Ctrl 1-8.
