* In ''[[Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm Ghosts of the Past]]'', Taliesin is, of course, being a legendary bard, a highly accomplished musician, and a practitioner of MagicMusic. And by "highly accomplished" we mean, "was to music what Da Vinci was to art." That said, the bard thing was a sideline as he was primarily the Court Physician of Camelot. Certainly, he can play the harp and seamlessly shift pieces while carrying on a conversation with someone, and his appearance [[spoiler: (both glamoured and original)]] is generally agreed to be very handsome. He's also better known as [[spoiler: Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.]]

Taliesin is, of course, being a legendary bard, a highly accomplished musician, and a practitioner of MagicMusic. And by "highly accomplished" we mean, "was to music what Da Vinci was to art." That said, In one of the side-stories, he riffs off "The Devil Went Down To Georgia", saying that he's "the best there's ever been" - and given what he does next, and [[spoiler: the fact that he ''can't'' lie]], every indication is that he's ''right.'' And even with that, incredibly, the bard thing was a sideline as he was primarily the Court Physician of Camelot. Certainly, he can play the harp and seamlessly shift pieces while carrying on a conversation with someone, and his appearance [[spoiler: (both glamoured and original)]] is generally agreed to be very handsome. He's also better known as [[spoiler: Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme.]] ]]
** Harry becomes one in Book III during the TimeSkip, practising with the flute that Hagrid made him, and which has since been inlaid with mithril by Doctor Strange. It's unclear whether it's inherently magical or he's simply learned how to play MagicMusic, but he's happy using it either as an ersatz [[VideoGame/LegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]], or simply as a flute. By the time the story catches up to him again, he's good enough and confident enough to play for a dance party in K'un L'un, and later, to attract an audience simply by sitting down and playing, leaving Carol utterly entranced, before noticing her presence and ad-libbing an instrumental version of [[Music/RoyOrbison "Pretty Woman"]]. And, of course, he is long acknowledged to have become a dashingly handsome young man.

* In ''VisualNovel/{{CLANNAD}}'' (both anime and game), {{Moe}} and BunnyEarsLawyer Kotomi Ichinose is a ''really'' cute violin player. In a subversion, she is rather a DreadfulMusician and sucks at playing.

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'':
** [[BrokenAce Cordelia]] is said to be an incredibly talented [[HarpOfFemininity harp player.]] Her supports with [[NiceGuy Stahl]] have her teaching him how to play the harp as well. [[RelationshipUpgrade At the highest support level, they get married.]]
** Cordelia says that her Pegasus knight captain/superior and Emmeryn's bodyguard, Phila, is even more talented at the harp than she is. Phila herself is a very beautiful woman, with a beauty mark under her left eye and pretty blue hair. [[spoiler: Too bad she's also a SacrificialLamb.]]
** While the violinist Brady is said to have a bad case of FaceOfAThug, lots of fans find him adorable anyway. In his endings, he becomes "the world's scariest violinist". And if he marries either [[{{Tomboy}} Kjelle]] or [[CuteMonsterGirl Nah]], either of the girls will be inspired to take up music so they can keep him company.
* If singing counts, then Princess Azura from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' definitely fits in. Many of her romantic supports have her singing her songs and having potential boyfriends commenting on how lovely her singing is. In the same game, Sakura and Elise bond over playing their string instruments.

* The ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' games have two ghosts who fit this description:
** ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1'' has Melody Pianissima, the {{Miniboss}} of the Conservatory you must summon by playing the instruments: she is courted by the old butler [[DirtyOldMan Shivers]], plays a soft rendition of the main theme on her piano while you walk in the corridor, and is a GamerChick who challenges you to find musical references to ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' games. If you have them, she throws paper sheets at you while playing a unique miniboss theme; on the other hand, if you don't get them, she will smash the piano keys in rage and disappear, forcing you to get out of the room and summon her again.

* Depending upon the player's choices, the protagonists of both ''VideoGame/Persona3'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4'' could be this. Due to both of them being eternal aces, no matter their choice of instrument they will inevitability be masterful at using it, and needless to say, are both incredibly handsome and desired by just about every girl they happen to cross (and more than a few boys).
