Sash of the Bard question

On the sash, it says all instrument types. Now, it works for my invisibility song, and I get skill ups for all my skills, no matter what I play. But it doesn't seem to affect them beyond that. I.E. I don't get the improved speed for Selo's like I had a drum in, imrpved healing like I had a lute in, or any improved damage on any of those songs.
Is this intentional?
I assumed, wrongly it seems, that I wouldn't need to carry instruments any more once I got other equipment that acted as those instrument types.
Just looking for clarification if this is proper or not, and if the other equipment with instrument types on it act the same way (I know of a sword with brass, and a cloak with wind, for example.)

The instrument mod on the sash is only 1.1 IIRC, so the noticable different will only be 10%. As compared to the drum which is usually about 2.0 mod, which would be double effectiveness.

It's not that it isn't working, it's that the bonus is so small.
 
Ok, but is it supposed to affect my damage spells and such? A 1.1 mod would mean a 10% boost, so if the spell did 10 damage, it should do 11 with the sash on. And I didn't even see that boost.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have an item with all instruments in one, saves space for those rare times I need a wind instrument (eb/invis) or such. I just want to make certain it is working as intended.

That is how it should be working.

Granted I don't play a bard as my main, so don't take my word 100% on it.
