The only musician mentioned is a lute player (Lautenspieler); you can
see his picture playing a lute:

The text in German says that he was a quiet, pious man who read very
much without needing glasses until his death, he was nearly 85 years old
when he died.
("Dieser Brueder starb den 5 April A(nn)o 1645 Ein Viertel stund vor dem
Garauß zu abents. Ist gar ein stiller, fromer und Gottsfürchtiger Mann
gewesen gern und vleisich geleßen ja biß in sein End ohne Brillen. Ist
in dieser Stifftung geweßen 13 Jahr Weniger 5 Monath und Ist sein
gantzes Alter 85 Jahr dem Gott gnädig sein wolle").
