This is my personal opinion when it comes to that:
Ultima Online is an massive multiplayer online roleplaying game in which you can do anything you like, that includes playing instruments. :]
I don't think it is about "acting as if you are playing the instrument IRL", but more about giving your character whom you are roleplaying a chance to "decide" even more what he wants to play, instead of Ultima Online deciding it for him.
The people whom do not roleplay or like to play music can just stay away from the instrument, and hunt monsters and fight other players if that's what they want to do, but I don't see any harm in adding it for the people who may enjoy it, as long as it can't be bug abused or abused in ways to annoy people too much.
