I hate that as well, and it is a very easy change.

This was take from old source, so it may be out of date, but the change is very simple. In zone\spells.cpp:

void Client::CheckSongSkillIncrease(int16 spell_id){
	switch(spells[spell_id].skill)
	{
	case SINGING:
		CheckIncreaseSkill(SINGING, -20);
		break;
	case PERCUSSION_INSTRUMENTS:
		if(this->itembonuses.percussionMod > 0)
			CheckIncreaseSkill(PERCUSSION_INSTRUMENTS, -20);
		else
			CheckIncreaseSkill(SINGING, -20);
		break;
	case STRINGED_INSTRUMENTS:
		if(this->itembonuses.stringedMod > 0)
			CheckIncreaseSkill(STRINGED_INSTRUMENTS, -20);
		else
			CheckIncreaseSkill(SINGING, -20);
		break;
	case WIND_INSTRUMENTS:
		if(this->itembonuses.windMod > 0)
			CheckIncreaseSkill(WIND_INSTRUMENTS, -20);
		else
			CheckIncreaseSkill(SINGING, -20);
		break;
	case BRASS_INSTRUMENTS:
		if(this->itembonuses.brassMod > 0)
			CheckIncreaseSkill(BRASS_INSTRUMENTS, -20);
		else
			CheckIncreaseSkill(SINGING, -20);
		break;
	default:
		break;
	}
}

-20 is crawling slow; -15 seemed alright to me; and -10 seemed too fast. I would post it in the development section but it is minor, so please excuse the derail.

IMHO something like this should be placed as custom Rule so admins can set their own skill ups speed.

Doesn't such Rule allready exist for common skills? Bards skill should be incorporated into it then
