Thanks for all the replies. I just hit 24 on my bard and would love a McVaxius Horn of War. So if anyone wants to throw me 10k-15k to buy one. I will give you my thanks and some sacs of sap off of stuff in OT :P
In all seriousness the posts have really helped in looking for gear. Please keep them coming.

I mean, here's the thing- at level 24 you don't really need the best instruments in the game. I had my vendor instruments until I was in my 30s or 40s. I think I got my hands on the mistmoore lute and drums when I was around 35, and I think my friend Whitebird gave me a McVaxius horn when I was like 42. I had a vendor flute until I got the sky flute.
Certainly the modifiers help, but in a group setting the difference between a 180 and 230% increase in your healing song is, if you think about it, not much. You're upping the regen from like 20 to like 22 at that level. Not a huge deal. And the same goes for all the rest of your songs; at low levels, the numbers you're working with are so low it's really not a gamebreaker.
If you're levelling by doing AE kites, my experience was yes, having McVaxius horn made a big difference in terms of wow, my dot is doing 73 instead of 68 damage, which is a small improvement except that improvement is being applied to like a hundred mobs and it's happening like 50 times! But if you think about it, that basically just means you have to run in a circle for two or three fewer casts of your song. It helps, but ultimately, whatever. Run in a circle and spam your macro for a little longer and use the money to buy yourself some mystic koada'dal. You'll see more improvement in your quality of Bard-Life from fewer instances of having your lulls resisted and a whole room full of mobs comes and puts sex in your mouth because your CHA is higher and your AC is better.
