Rust Musical Maestro achievement: play all 11 listed instruments. Single source: the checked achievement guide lists eleven instruments. Facepunch's original pack contains ten, with the pre-existing Acoustic Guitar separate.

Keep a played checklist

  • Acoustic Guitar
  • Wheelbarrow Piano
  • Junkyard Drum Kit
  • Shovel Bass
  • Sousaphone
  • Jerry Can Guitar
  • Xylobones, called Xylobone in the current wiki index
  • Plumber's Trumpet
  • Cowbell
  • Canbourine
  • Pan Flute

Make notes with each instrument rather than only transferring it through inventory. Place and use the piano, drum kit and xylophone as appropriate. Check off the exact item after using it so that the two guitars are not mistaken for one entry.

Facepunch explicitly allows nonowners to play instruments supplied by other players. The current Acoustic Guitar wiki also has a craft table, so the old guide's claim that it must always be looted is not treated as current fact. UNSURE: whether any later instrument additions affect today's hidden completion counter; eleven is the checked method list, not a datamined guarantee.

Plan the attempt

Equipment/DLC: Instruments Pack is needed to craft pack instruments yourself; obtained instruments can be played without ownership.

Other players: No group is stated by this requirement; arrange loans if needed.

Hizzle's 3/10 difficulty is an editorial setup estimate, not a tested rating. Completion time, current server eligibility, reset scope and every missable exception remain UNSURE. Steam places this entry in its public group; the shared card's Base game label does not mean the equipment is free of DLC. Console Edition has a separate catalogue. Hizzle has not tested this in-game.

Sources we checked

UNSURE marks what this guide hasn't established. Hizzle Guides research from public sources; we don't claim in-game testing unless a page says so.
