I love DIY music of any kind. Weird Javascript synths, PVC pipe flutes, badly tuned wooden vibraphones on the playgrounds, tissue box and rubber band guitars - give me all of it. Every time someone builds something to make a sound they're doing art, expressing one of the things I love most about humans - that we like to make interesting noises. (and ugly ones too!)
The _physicality_ of music is maybe the closest thing I can think of to real actual magic. We build these devices to modulate the pressure of air in specific ways so that we can transmit sound. Us humans have got built in hardware that is capable of incredibly fine control of air pressure and hardware for decoding those pressure waves into language - and even sometimes to bypass the language decoding and hit us directly in our emotions.
Take some time to really think about how sound works and how we're able to produce and receive it. It sounds like something out of a fantasy novel!
I meant to include his name near my mention of PVC flutes. Love watching him play (both in the sense of playing music and in the sense of seeing his creativity and passion on display). Nicolas Bras is always a fun watch!
Not to detract from anything you said, but what if I told you there is a world where the beings etch arcane glyphs into crystals and then enchant them to do their bidding using esoteric incantations?
