Musician


 * For the comprehensive table of the 27 musician locations see Musician/locations.
 * For the NPCs that are usually found near musicians, see Music appreciator.

Musicians (also known as buskers or bards) are NPCs who play music all across Gielinor. You can listen to their music by right-clicking on them and choosing "listen-to" or by resting within 3 squares of the musician. While you listen to their music, your run energy and hitpoints restore quickly. For example, with 75 agility it takes only 18 seconds to restore run energy from 0 to 100. The hitpoints restore rate is 3 times the regular, as said by the musicians. Different musicians have different instruments, with which they play different music. Those who play the lute play a rendition of Harmony. Violinists play a version of Spirit.

The locations of all the musicians can be found here.

Trivia

 * The ghost in southern Mort Myre has a poem to sing.
 * One of the musicians humourously plays a bad piece of music. If you want to hear the bad tune, head to the Forgotten Cemetery in the Wilderness and seek the Drunken Musician.
 * The Ghost musicians skeleton is just a few steps from him.
 * On the day of release, the female musician near Shantay Pass's examine text read "He plays charming music."
 * The Karamjan drummers' examine text reads "She bangs the drums". This could be a reference to the song by The Stone Roses.
 * The elf Musician may be a reference to the character Saria from the game "Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time" as Saria's race is elf-like. In the Ocarina of Time, Saria sits on a tree stump and plays her ocarina, as does the elven Musician.
 * Bill Blakey, the Musician in Mort Myre swamp, is a reference to English Poet William Blake.
 * The musician near the gem shop in Al Kharid is a snake charmer.
 * The Goblin musician's examine text reads "Bang-bang good!" which could be a play on the Campbell Soup's slogan "Mm mm good."
 * The lute players (Port Sarim, Catherby, etc.) play a song similar to the song Harmony. The drunken musician in the wilderness plays the same song, but very badly.
 * If you rest near Ali the snake charmer in Pollnivneach, he plays the snake charm as he counts as busker.
 * The violinist north of the Al-Kharid mine (with the red hood) doesnt have a chat head in Standard Detail.
 * If you talk to the Ghostly Piper with an Amulet of Ghostspeak, you will find out that he has been there for a long time, possibly since the god wars. He claims he stood in front of Saradomin's forces, playing music to rouse them for the fight against Zamorak. He also might not know that he is a ghost.  He says that the song he's playing is the Call to Arms.
 * The musicians say they were told of the medicinal qualities of music by a "travelling medical practitioner, selling oil extracted from snakes". This is a reference to a snake oil salesman, a medical con-man.
 * The Miscellanian musician examine text says 'He's better then Prince Brand', a reference to the Miscellanian prince named Prince Brand who thinks he's a good musician, but is not.
 * Each violinist's examine text reads "fiddle de dee", which may be a reference to a song from the Nick Jr. show Lazytown, You are a Pirate. It could also refer to many other children songs, as the line "fiddle de dee" is not only from Lazytown.
