It appears that instrument modifiers do not appear in the item stats window in the UF client. I don't think this is a UI problem on my end because I should be using the default stats window, but if somehow this is only affecting me, I apologize and will go beat my UI into shape.

Apparently in Feb 2009, bard instrument modifiers were changed into equivalent focus effects. To quote the patch notes:

- Bard instrument mods are now using the focus system. All bard instruments now have a focus effect that amounts to the same bonus the instrument was getting previously. The display is somewhat different. As an example, prior to this change, a percussion mod of 28 was a 2.8x multiplier on effects. This will now be displayed as a focus effect like "Percussion Resonance 18" that gives a 180% boost to percussion. This is equivalent to the original 2.8x multiplier.

The bard focus effect info was already in the items table, just not being sent to the client. Fixed in Rev1867.

Run speed spells/songs do not appear to have any effect in UF. To test, I ran my bard and then started singing a run speed song and there was no visible change in speed. I personally have not tested spells, but I have received reports that spells such as SoW are also not working in UF.

My SoW has been working fine with the UF client I am using on my lan server.
I'm always casting it, while I am running around doing spawnfix's etc., and I
do notice a difference when the buff timer runs out.
