The Dark God's Violin is your first Dark Instrument, and crucial for progressing the main story. It's obtained during Chapter 2, after a crew member, Jason, leads you to an old friend. This encounter introduces the Devil Flag pirates, who've murdered Jason's friend and stolen the Pharaoh Stone.
You'll meet Misaki, the friend's daughter, who joins your crew seeking revenge. Following this questline leads you to islands east of Madlantis, where a powerful Devil Flag fleet awaits. Focus your attacks on the boss ship to board and defeat them, earning the Dark God's Violin. The game then lets you test it in a 100-enemy brawl.
Defeating the Devil Flags introduces the fleet captains: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. They challenge you, initiating the sidequest to collect all Dark Instruments. While not essential for the main story, defeating these captains is necessary to complete the instrument collection.

Focus on the boss ship, board, and defeat the first mate to land on Flame Island.

The final Dark Instrument requires Pirate Rank Four and 220 Devil Flags. Sailing to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse triggers a fight with the Devil Flag fleet blocking Frost Island. Four more islands (Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial) provide opportunities for more flags.
Defeat Captain Shinobi's first fleet before landing. The island features battles leading to a cave and a recovery area. The final boss fight against Captain Shinobi is followed by a confrontation with Zeus, who takes Misaki hostage. Defeating Zeus and rescuing Misaki concludes this stage and unlocks the final Dark Instrument. While the final battle against Zeus is challenging, obtaining all four Dark Instruments doesn't require completing it.
