Well, this is a new use for magnets.  I'll post it to our group, with your
permission.  

You can use any type of magnet for healing, but you need to know the
negative face (north) for best medical use.  

There are those companies, like Nikken, that use bipole magnets--magnets
with both north and south on the same face--for healing.  From my studies,
and my CHOICE, I have decided that it is best to use single magnetic side
for healing.  Mostly that is negative (north) though there are some
instances where you would use positive (south) sides.  

But I like the idea of using magnets for 'healing' musical instruments!  :-)

Instead I use it to remove certain dents from saxophones.  (I buy, fix, and
resell pro and vintage horns).    I have some solid stainless steel balls up
to 2 1/2" in diameter, place inside the sax, and rub the magnet outside the
sax near the dent with a soft cloth in-between.  The ball pushes the dent
out and with a little skill will totally remove many dents.
