YES or NO: Writing and entertainment? (Entertainment part)

Entertainment:
Entertainment seems like a late game thing (modern era I mean), but it isn't like that: it could be music, poets or else
It might seem like a waste of time, but I had plans for it
A person doing music with an instrument is not only a free time activity, it also helps others by making their hunger decrease slower, making bards and such very helpful for the society, but the bard doesn't get the effects of music, so they do need to eat still

flute:
short shaft + flint = small wooden pipe
small wooden pipe + flint drill = flute

drum:
yew shaft + thread = yew drum frame
rabbit fur + sharp stone = tanned rabbit fur
yew drum frame + tanned rabbit fur = drum frame with tanned fur
drum frame with tanned fur + needle with thread/ball of thread = drum

war horn:
mouflon skeleton + hatchet = mouflon skeleton with horn
horn + flint = war horn

These are some of the primitive instruments I know of
To activate them, pick one of them up and click on your self to start playing and to cancel, just drop them
the music could be a repeating song for every instrument and some together form a band; it's hidden so the only way to hear it, is to play an instrument and to hear the full song, multible people need to play the correct instruments to hear the complete song and the complete song gives others, who aren't playing, double the effect

TV:
It's an advanced item, I know, so it should be a late game item, what shows cartoons for the players, who aren't matured yet
You might be asking, why cartoons?, because I love cartoons and especially the classics: Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny
I'm not going to create a way, how to make this, because it would be pointless right now, but maybe in the future and you can leave suggestions, how to make a TV
Cartoons are shown in the TV (of course) in a 3x3 radius (TV in middle and surrounding is the effect zone) and only work on players, who aren't yet matured (like woman players, who then can birth) also for men
Cartoons slow down the hunger point decrease for the unmatured players in game

SO an OP thing to do for babies, is to make them warm, but not too hot, play music around them and make them watch Mickey Mouse (GOD I love him!), to make them basically never lose hunger points

I enjoy the simpler things in life, but only if I'm calm.

Flutes would be fun! Anshin once talked about reed panpipes as well. Those would be hilarious in linked towns, where someone could go to all the towns and play music for people.
I don't think music would keep children alive, but perhaps there could be some kind of a bonus related to speed, or sentence lengh if you're below the age of 20.

You forgot string instruments which probably came right after drums.  Could get sinews or hair from animals, a gourd (dried squash maybe?) or wooden box, a skin, and some bone tuning pegs.

Yes for musical instruments, I'm all for the addition of entertainment and art (I love roses and graves). However, no to the bonus. It doesn't make sense and would turn this tool of art into a tool of survival. We shouldnt trivialize objects of art.

I was part of a band once.

Maybe art could serve it’s traditional purpose: to spread knowledge and ideas. Instead of having to painstakingly type out how to farm for NP’s, a bard could just sing ye old farm song.
