I heard that these muisician buffs last for 2 hours! But the buffs that i do last less than 2 hours. I am pretty sure it has something to do with me only buffing for 5 minutes. I don't want to spend a weekend testing so could somone clue me in on how this works?

10min miniumum

I do it for 5 minutes (using alarms to keep track) and have had them last for 2 hours.

Same. It doesn't always last that long though. I can't play the same instrument for 10 minutes, that's just crazy

Ok..that is crazy. There are always people trying to get medic xp where I play...i can play for hours non-stop.

Dose it matter what instrument I use?

Heh, you think constant heals is crazy, I play where it'ssomewhat standard practice for a master doctor to be giving action and stamina buffs. After one of those, 2 hours straight.

It's kinda hard on my medic career there, though.

I do 5-10 minutes for the "active" buff (/setperform) and longer, if possible, for the passive group buff (in which any and all group members can /listen without /setperform).

I'm still not entirely sure the extent to which choice of song and instrument affect buff duration. To be safe, I usually pick Virtuoso or Jazz and play either the nalargon, chid horn, or ommni. I also flourish a lot. I seem to get pretty long-lasting results, except that my PA-mates die so fast that the buff drops anyway.
