This update (September 2010) carries 2 new pieces of ballad + gear, making a grand total of 2.
Not only that, but the stats on this piece are amazing! I'd take M.Acc and 10 singing skill over Marduk's for debuffing any day. Add this in to the song recast reduction and the set effect of song augmentation (although I am unclear as to what it will do, I'd assume either an effect or duration bonus), this new armor makes an excellent full-time piece for BRD.
