I have a number of custom musical instruments (Strats, Fenders, drum kits) that were working in Seasons/Free Time, but like every other musical instrument in the game, AL and probably M&G broke them. They still can be bought, but not played. Since Legacy includes AL/M&G, they're broken.

Since Atavera retired before AL came out, did anyone update these instruments to work in the last expansions, or should I just trash them?

Atavera's instruments/hack had some issues even before AL/M&G.

Argon's instrument hack from here seem to address some of those issues:

A few sets of instruments that uses Argon's mod/method:

And this one is a default replacement that doesn't seem to require an extra mod at all:

No idea if there are any drumsets, though. There's possibly some here at MTS.

There is apparently a tutorial/discussion/(?) about how to convert Atavera's instruments to work with this mod instead (at MATY, linked in the post) - you may want to look into that?

Yes, Numenor did:

If I'm reading the mod description correctly, this just allows the instruments to be used "in band." My problem is that they cannot be played at all. Getting them in a band is like the next step.

Have you checked if you've got any of the conflicting mods (or perhaps others related to instruments that might interfere with it)?

Also, did you run through the checklist under "Having Problems with this mod?" in Numenor's updated version?
