In a while I'll be playing an Artificer. Took a good while before I figured all his abilities out, but I got him down now. He got this Wand of Flame Blade to use as an awesome lightsaber of some sort and has Cull Wand Essence for ranged support. In addition, an Iron Defender and high Int, so plenty of skills and things to cook up.

His character concept is where my question comes in. He's a specialist in magical instruments. He's METAL. He carries a healthy disdain for the lute and related instruments. The electric guitar, the synthesizer, that's what he does, only with the Magic of Eberron. I had a few ideas of my own, but I was wondering what other kinds of magical instruments could be created. I was thinking about an Air Guitar (just two gloves basically, to emulate Bill and Ted), but since I've never played a caster and am pretty new to item creation and all, I thought maybe I was overlooking a lot of sweet options.

He'll start at level 4 and will has spent most of his gold on the Wand of Flame Blade already, so it'll have to be a cheap item to create. Any ideas?

I don't know a lot about artificer crafting, but an item like those gloves? I think that can be done with a custom magic item.

Wonderous Item: Gloves of the Air Guitar.
8,500 gp. Ghost Sound, CL 1.

Different Ghost Sound for each string.

It's 17,700gp to permanency each ghost sound if you want to just have it cast on you, but then it can be dispelled.

Edit:

12g 5sp per scroll of ghost sound if you want to make the item yourself.
