Have you seen an organ? It’s basically several keyboards stacked on top of each other, including a single-octave one for your feet.

Can you imagine, that guy from Mortal Combat would have 8 arms!
You're saying we don't already?

Like, I dunno, an organ!
The main character of the The Hydrogen Sonata by Ian Banks features an alien that had modified themselves with an extra set of arms so that she could play a crazy double necked cello.

Like the Antagonistic Undecagonstring?

Meanwhile, I can’t find the brainpower to play an instrument and form words at the same time. I pretty much end up drooling on myself.
If humans had 4 arms we'd need 8 pants pockets! We're going to need bigger butts along with the arms to accommodate all of those pockets.

Or we could just keep playing the piano
We'd also be forewarned.
the skin flute would be even more popular!

Yeah, with electronic help, like a looping device or just recording different tracks one after another, you can obviously do amazing things, but you end up lacking a lot of flexibility to quickly improvise or adjust yourself to what's happening in the other voices.
Having said that, in an orchestra, you don't really want most of the instruments to go wild, so simple instruments would still be a thing. Even today, there's lots of instruments where one hand just holds the instrument.
I guess, with 4 arms, you could attempt to play two violins at the same time, though.
To take it further, if humans had 4 arms, our heads would be a different shape, because we'd need more brain to control them. AFAIK that would mean a bigger back of head (cerebellum) and a bigger forehead (frontal lobe).
We may not have 4 arms but we do have whatever this is https://youtu.be/ywrK1yTYRIA
Imagine a one-man band, except he's two bands.
