I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but at any rate, here goes.

When a Bard uses Animate Instrument and starts or mantains a song, does the duration of Animate Instrument effectively become the duration of the song? If so, assuming Animate Instrument is persistable and the bard has the means to persist it somehow, could a Bard start an inspire courage effect and keep it up for 24 hours? Though the spell makes no specific mention of this, it does seem to imply it to me.
