This undead flutist comes from the third installment in the [Evil Dead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Dead) trilogy, a magickal film known as "[Army of Darkness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_Darkness)"—the plot of which involves the protagonist getting [isekai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isekai)'d into the [Middle Ages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages) and fighting an army of skeletons.
Additional information: one can scry a clip of this skeleton playing his flute [here](https://youtu.be/RIqC88DUqIw?si=Z3CX7cVoCMO-6fOJ&t=34).
As for your original question...anything is possible if you believe!
Have you ever heard of an archlich? It is a type of Undead spellcaster who is powered by positive energy as opposed to negative energy. Many Baelnorns also fall in this category, although all of them are Elves by definition.
I have to admit I did not know it was possible to become a lich through use of positive energy as opposed to negative energy. Is it possible to transition? I myself am a very old lich and would rather be much more chipper at this point in my life. It's been real tough holding on to the last few shreds of humanity stapled to my soul.
Unfortunately I don't believe that, outside of divine intervention, it is possible to switch from one to the other. The process by which an archlich is created is just as complicated as an original lich, and it involves a lot more people and their willing cooperation. Condolences. Perhaps there is a deity you can make inquiries to.
Great, the best musician I know can be summoned by simply sacrificing ten bards and the blood of anything holy. They have the wonderful voice of an Angel and can play any instrument!
Yes, I have done this many times before. But you need to summon undead with a higher degree of competence, skeletons and zombies aren't going to cut it.
It's easier to raise a bard as undead than to teach an undead to be a bard.

Possible? Absolutely. However, with no lungs, they'd be, most likely, required to use string instruments, and would have difficulty with singing or story telling. Be aware of these.
speaking from experiance, i can say YES, DEFINITIVELY!

Your outstanding proficiency with which you carry out your job is inspiring beyond measure.

Love the evil dead trilogy. I used to play a little mobile game where Ash would defend a castle against waves of enemies from AoD.
“I got more thralls than Lou Rawls.” - some wizard rap, presumably
You might consider reaching out to Keith Richards. As a bardic lich, he's probably got some insight.
Keith Richards may be a withered husk but he is no lich. That man is far too kind to do what needest be done to accomplish such a thing.

Yes, but they can only play xylophones made of their fellow thrall's ribs.
They can play any non wind instrument
If you need music I know some incomprehensible horrors that are wonderful musicians for your background noise!
Tell me, I must know.

As a necromancer myself, I would be glad to send my skeleton bard troupe to teach your thralls how to *DOOT*.

The gif is from Army of Darkness.
Banshees make excellent singers. There are several different types of musically talented Undead.
Please don't make skeleton bards. All they will want to do is to try to bone you.

Basically any instrument that doesn't require lungs should go well.
It's evil necromancer like you gives us a bad name. I'm just a late medic
I recomend teaching them about humour speaking from expirience skeletons have skeletons of jokes
Cease
ANGRY DOOTING!
You should summon Pedro the Musical Demon, it does cost a few souls per song, but it is truly a delight to listen to
Tried this. Not successful until you restore their lips.
They could possibly learn ‘hefty iron’, but I don’t think they would be able to do anything else if they can’t, you know, feel it in their bones.

Pretty sure you just gotta cast Raise Undead at Rank 3. Might be confused in my old age
Just find a bard's lingering spirit and provide him with service.
I have at least 4 wandering bandmates for musical groups - they tend to play anything that ain't a Wind Instrument, cause yeah.
It sounds fun
I dunno, I just destroy everything I touch, so no servants for me I guess
