The summon instrument spell says that the conjured instrument plays only for you.
How does that work exactly?
If I hand it to someone and they attempt to play it, doe it disappear? Explode? Break? Remain silent despite the physical act of playing it? Perform so poorly that the resulting cacophony could not be considered music? What exactly happens?
What if they tried to use the instrument in a non-traditional manor, such as by turning a violin into a percussion instrument by rhythmically tapping on it or banging it against things? Does it make any noise then?

But "it plays for only you". Even in non-traditional manner "it plays for only you". Whatever you or others do, "it plays for only you".
In that case what is a good sturdy instrument that our barbarian can use to rhymically and soundlessly batter down the door or break the interrogated prisoner?

Yes. Any of those would work.
All of those in sequence would be epic.

Sorry, per the Townshend precedent, that counts as playing. Doesn’t work as intended.

"You attempt to smash the prisoner's digits with the bard's lute, only to have him suddenly burst into laughter as the lute graces his toes with a light tickle instead."

The spell does specify handheld instrument, unfortunately. So I'm pretty sure only the saxophone would qualify.
I do agree it'd be funny to see the barbarian smashing someone with church bells though.
