So you're an assassin who is also a musician. Unfortunately, you cannot kill people with the power of your music alone, and you're not a Musical Assassin. So what are you going to do? Why, have a musical instrument that doubles as a deadly weapon of course. A step up from Senseless Violins, with no danger of your weapon being discovered if anyone opens your case. This trope covers weapons hidden in musical instruments. For people that use normal instruments as weapons, see Improbable Weapon User (or Improvised Weapon if it is not a usual occurrence). For assassins who kill their targets with music, see Musical Assassin. For weapons used as instruments, see Instrumental Weapon. See Xylophone Gag for instruments rigged to kill the player. Sort of the evil counterpart to Signature Instrument. Examples |

In Adventure Time, Marceline the Vampire Queen has a bass-guitar shaped like an axe. It tends to get used like a guitar, though, which is not to say it hasn't been involved in ass-kicking. If her father is to be believed, the instrument started life as an axe and was turned into a bass-guitar later. |

Carol’s signature weapon in Symphogear is the harp relic Daurdabla, most often used in the form of a Faust robe. While transformed its primary power is to conjure harp strings that can bind her enemies, work as Razor Floss, and even form solid constructs.

Simon Bar Sinister, a principal adversary to Underdog, built a weather machine modeled closely after a pipe organ. Each key on its keyboard could lose some kind of weather phenomenon, including typhoons and earthquakes. However, early tests of the device tended to wreck Simon's laboratory first, so he and Cad Lackey hijacked a moon rocket to install the device on Earth's airless satellite. | |

Midvalley the Hornfreak in Trigun is mostly a Musical Assassin who tears it up with sound waves from his saxophone, but it's also a complicated firearm that he eventually used to commit suicide... not by shooting himself with it, but by playing it after the B-flat got shot out. It blows up. | |

All of the Riders in Kamen Rider Hibiki use these. Hibiki straps a taiko drum to the monsters and proceeds to beat them to death with taiko drumsticks (and even without the drum, the drumsticks can shoot fireballs). Todoroki uses an electric guitar that doubles as an ax. Ibuki has a gun that can transform — by shifting the parts around — into a trumpet. Ibuki's actually works in reverse from normal: he uses the gun to implant bullets in the Monster of the Week (who is naturally Immune to Bullets) then switches to the trumpet to create a resonance that blows it up. It can get fairly silly with some of the minor Oni Riders, who use weaponized tubas and triangles. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV Archers are promoted to Bards upon reaching Level 30, gaining Magic Music but retaining their archery skills. Their high level (Relic and Anima) weapons are either bows with a harp/lyre built into it... or a very large harp that doubles as a bow. note If you don't have one of those equipped, the Bard just pulls an actual lyre out of thin air whenever a class skill uses it. | |

In fact, any weapons he had followed this theme. And in "Night of the Batmen!", the Vigilante has a guitar that doubles as a rifle. In "Powerless!", the Scottish Joker in the Jokers of Many Nations has a set of bagpipes that fires missiles. |

The Bard class in Dungeons & Dragons qualifies as a variety; while they aren't using the instrument itself as a weapon (although certain rule interpretations can allow for this), the instrument acts much the same as a Wizard's spell catalyst or a Cleric's holy symbol as a tool with which they cast their magic, meaning that any offensive spells they cast are caused by the instrument they use. | |

Kamen Rider: All of the Riders in Kamen Rider Hibiki use these. Hibiki straps a taiko drum to the monsters and proceeds to beat them to death with taiko drumsticks (and even without the drum, the drumsticks can shoot fireballs). Todoroki uses an electric guitar that doubles as an ax. Ibuki has a gun that can transform — by shifting the parts around — into a trumpet. Ibuki's actually works in reverse from normal: he uses the gun to implant bullets in the Monster of the Week (who is naturally Immune to Bullets) then switches to the trumpet to create a resonance that blows it up. It can get fairly silly with some of the minor Oni Riders, who use weaponized tubas and triangles. The Kamen Rider 555 Hyper Battle DVD had the Faiz Sounder, a boombox that transformed into a powerful sonic cannon. This was the winning contest entry Toei had for a new weapon for Faiz, which like all other weapons in the show, was based on a real-world object. |

The Mariachi from Once Upon a Time in Mexico used a guitar that doubled as an assault rifle and grenade launcher in the opening shootout/flashback. The narrator freely admits that the details have been... embellished. "Just read between the lines." The character himself doesn't actually have one, instead using the old "guns concealed in a guitar case" trick. His friends both have weapons disguised as guitar cases, specifically a flamethrower and a remote-controlled car with a bomb. | |

After Rigby changes his name back, another musician time travels to the past and kills The Urge with his own instrument of murder. This repeats ad infinitum as more and more rockstars enter the scene and kill each other. | |

Skullgirls: Big Band takes this trope to a whole new level. All of his attacks are based on band instruments ranging from standard drums to wind instruments and even firing missiles modeled after trumpet mutes. Eliza's weapon of choice (aside from her parasite Sekhmet) is a microphone stand that doubles as a Sinister Scythe. |

Transformers: Animated's version of Soundwave has an electric guitar that turned into his attack bird Laserbeak. At least until Prime used him as an axe. (Sorry!) While some examples of this trope can look rather silly, most fans agree that this is the version of Soundwave that is, aesthetically at least, the most awesome. Soundwave also has a keytar that transforms into Ratbat. Both Laserbeak and Ratbat can be used as sonic weaponry, and Ratbat can also be used to produce Mind-Control Music. |

Cacofonix in Asterix uses his ordinary lyre as a blunt instrument whenever he fights, be it in a village brawl or combat with the Romans. In his case, this is arguably less cruel than playing it at them. On a different note, he can also make it rain when he sings in later issues of the comic. |

The magical lyre of death in Deadful Melody, which can cause massive qi explosions, overload its victims with insane amounts of qi energy and remove heads, arms and limbs. The sheer existence of the instrument can destroy the world of martial arts, and Snow’s parents – its guardians – considers it a forbidden weapon that must be kept sealed, and never be used. It’s final and most powerful attack, the "Heavenly Dragon Eight Notes", can utterly wipe out an army in under a minute, as Snow demonstrates in the climax by unleashing the lyre’s full power. | |

A rare weapon in Nuclear Throne is Fish's Guitar, which is about as strong as a sledgehammer but has fast reload speed, making it one of the better melee weapons in the game. It can only be found at the camp site if you loop as Fish or as a default weapon in the Weekly Run. | |

Some of the ranged weapons in Kingdom of Loathing are musical instruments that double as weapons. Also, the Stolen Accordion is the default weapon of KoL's bard class, the Accordion Thief. The Accordion Thief also has singing as a basic attack. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Equipping Xigbar with the Mystery Gear in 358/2 Days makes him wield a pair of trumpets in the stead of his Arrowguns. They shoot musical notes, accompanied by the appropriate sound effects. In both Kingdom Hearts II and 358/2 Days, Demyx uses a weaponized sitar in conjunction with his power over water. In Birth By Sleep, the Symphony Master is an early-game boss that uses a drum, a trumpet, and a violin as Attack Drones with sound-based attacks and increasingly Turns Red as each is destroyed. |

Rocketbilly Redcadillac's electricity-shooting guitar from Gungrave: Overdose. The artbook says its name is "B.L. 20,000V". ("Blue Lightning 20,000V"). Made by the Electrigger Company! Despite being weak with melee fighting, Billy can do a little dance that causes his guitar to spin around him, bludgeoning mooks. | |

In SilverHawks, Bluegrass wielded a sonic blaster guitar as a weapon while his Evil Counterpart Melodia had a keytar that fired laser blasts shaped liked musical staves. Got a Shout-Out in the Galaxy Rangers ep "Battle of the Bandits" where the Rangers and a pack of Slaverlords started firing their "modified" guitars at one another. | |

Valhallen, the viking god of rock and roll in Dexter's Laboratory uses his magic guitar as an instrument, as an actual weapon, and as a means to fly riding it like a surfboard. Being an expy of Thor from viking mythology means he is also able to shoot blasts of lightning from it. | |

FLCL: Haruko wields a pull-string-ignition bass guitar. It can also blast doors in half with some kind of firearm function. It's more a question of what Haruko can't do with her guitar. In the final episode, after absorbing Atomsk's power, Naota dual-wields his own Flying V with Atmosk's Gibson EB-0 1961 Model Bass Guitar. |

In Saint Seiya, the Asgardian God Warrior Benetnasch Eta Mime, wears a Cloth reminiscent of a harp. As such, he is prone to laying down Razor Floss around the environment as traps, as well as send them flying towards his opponents to entangle them. Note that his harp's strings are strong, and sharp enough, to crack and cut through solid rock, as well as Bronze Cloths and the very human skin of the Saints wearing them. | |
