If you're a spellcaster, sure, just for the stacking bonus to spell save DC and spell attack rolls. But then it's better to compare it against a magic staff, not a shortsword...
For actually stabbing people, I think Knife of the Undermountain King is better.
I dunno, who told you Rhapsody is better and what was their explanation when you asked them how?
Looks like Rhapsody has an ability I didn't know about which lets you consume your +3 from Scarlet Remittance to either guarantee a crit, heal yourself, or give a target disadvantage on saving throws.
If it really lasts until a long rest thats pretty good. From 2 stacks onward the damage output should be better.
+2(3) atk roll and +2(3) dmg vs +5% crit chance and ~+0.67 dmg from Organ rearranger

They argued that getting the kills for Rhapsody was easy and the effect lasted until long rest.
My argument was KOTUMK was more consistent.

I still think which one is better depends on how many spells you're going to be casting.

Better, for specific situations.
The attack and spell save DC bump at 3 is really damn solid for casters in specific. Pair it with some acuity, and hello guaranteed control spells.
As a weapon used by a melee fighter? Not at all.
