An instrument ¿ is a new kind of procedurally generated good.
Instruments come in two types. Some instruments are built by individual components which must be assembled, and some are made in a single step, like how instruments were made in previous versions or like other craft goods. Instruments that are assembled can be further subdivided into "big" and "small". "Big" instruments can then be placed like furniture with b-I command. "Small" instruments can be carried around by dwarves or placed in coffers in taverns or temples. Instruments made in a single step are always "small".
Instruments or their components are made out of a variety of materials, including wood, bone, stone, silk thread, plant fiber thread, glass, ceramics, metal, or leather. Out of those, thread can only used for Instrument parts, not for a full instrument. Most of instruments/components are made in craftsdwarf's workshops, except ceramic ones are made at kiln, leather ones at leather works, glass ones at glass furnace and metal ones at metalsmith's forge. In the case of metal, there's currently no way to define what kind of metal is to be used; a dwarf will pick up the closest metal bar to make the component, unlike how other goods are made at the forge. Glass instruments appear to be made from green glass only. The only way to control this is to tell the forge to only take from a specific stockpile, and set that stockpile to only accept the metals you want to use. Assembling the instrument after all the components are finished is also performed in craftsdwarf's workshops.
Types of instruments, their names and the kinds of components they are built of are generated at world generation and are usually specific for each civilization. Traders may bring instrument components, but your civilization may not be able to assemble the instrument out of them, depending on what instruments your dwarves know how to make.
