not easy on the ear

won´t jar on your ear
Нда! Слух портят НЕ музыкальные инструменты, а неумение на них играть - да и то, это скорее следствие....
Очевидно автор имел ввиду "не режут слух". что и будет....
В заключении маленький перефраз:
"этот оригинал не сможет испортить ваш перевод"

spoil your ear for music
This seems to be presenting some difficulties.
The standard phrase in English is "ear for music".
You can use almost an infinite number of verbs for испортить: hurt, harm, spoil, damage, impair, etc.

None of these musical instruments will harm your hearing (make you deaf). In other words, they are not too loud.
The sentence says слух, not музыкальный слух
