According to tradition, a true musicmaid is said to be "touched by music" and would rather play her music than indulge in sex.  (This doesn't mean she's celibate.  Quite the contrary more often than not!  She's just usually uninterested in sex.)  To play off the whole "it's better than sex" shtick, whole classes of instruments are designed to resemble genitalia.  Perhaps the most widespread of these classes are the pau-kra'hii, which could be clumsily translated into English as "pizzle pipes" although this implies a shamefulness missing in the original meaning.
