How to unlock the Agatha's Song achievement in Fallout 3 - Definitive Guide

This achievement is for completion of the 'Agathas song' quest
The quest requires you to enter vault 92 and find her great-great-grandmother Hilda's Soil Stradivarius violin.

Agatha is located in her house to the Northeast of Meresti Trainyard.
The vault is located at the top of the map, west of the Republic of Dave and east of the Oasis.

Once you enter the vault, go straight through the door, until you get to the open room and go to the left. Following this path go to the far side of the next room and down the stairs to enter sound testing.
In the sound testing area, go straight ahead and follow the corridor along to the right, take two lefts and proceed down another set of stairs. Take the next left to find two rooms. Go to the computer in the room beside the studio and unlock the door, then into the studio to get the Soil Stradivarius. Finally, take it to Agatha and hand it in for the achievement.

[You may also ant to pick up the sheet music, in the men's toilets in the vault, for the Blackhawk Magnum from Agatha.]

You can get the violin before talking to Agatha to avoid two trips to her house.
Alternatively you can sell it to Abraham Washington at Rivet City for caps and the achievement.

Selling it to Abraham Washington after completing his Stealing Independence quest will also unlock the achievement.

It should be mentioned that in order to trigger this quest you have to find Agatha. You can find her house Northeast of Meresti Trainyard and west of the Scrapyard. It's a bit difficult to find, but it's there. You also can get the Violin first and then find her to complete the quest faster.

I just picked that up while looting the vault and then talked to Abraham and there was an option to sell it. I love when I stumble upon achievements, but I feel bad for Agatha now since I never talked to her :/

Your directions are way off, you need to include each door to go through, I was standing in one area thinking there is no right, and in another I came to an area where there was a left then a small right and then straight on which you never mentioned

/sigh
Changed the solution to a longer, different route with a better video guide, skipping the lockpick part, to clear up some of the confusion.

You absolutely do not need to start the quest first; I just wandered around Vault 92, found the violin and sold it to Ahzrukhal in Underworld.

This solution assumes you've already found Agatha north-east of the Meresti Trainyards and initiated the quest.

If you have already started "Picking up the Trail" in the main storyline quest, do the initial part so the scribe will show you a map with all the Vaults labelled on it. This will put Vault 92 on your map without visiting the Vault-Tec headquarters in the optional part of the quest. Note that if you go looking for it without a map marker, it's east of the Oasis and just to the west of Old Olney, one of the most dangerous locations in the Wastelands. Be wary of wandering Deathclaws.

When you get to the room in the Vault 92 entrance where you can pick the Average door on your left, take that left path. Move carefully past the traps into the sound labs. You'll have to deal with several mirelurks in the labs. Explore the labs to find the Stradivarius in one of the music rooms. Then come back to that room where you picked the Average door and take the other door, which will lead you past some traps into the living quarters of the Vault.

After dealing with some more mirelurks, in a stall on the floor of the bathroom in the men's dorm you can find one of the books of sheet music. Return it to Agatha and complete the quest by giving her the violin. Then initiate another conversation with Agatha which will let you give her the sheet music. Taking the speech path where you ask for reward will net you Agatha's husband's gun, the Blackhawk, a custom scoped .44 pistol with excellent damage (exceeding the sniper rifle's, with similar scope range and an extra bullet in the clip).

Be nice to Agatha throughout your interactions with her, including the polite way of asking her for reward when you give her the sheet music, to guarantee the Blackhawk will be in fully repaired condition when she gives it to you.

I randomly found vault 92 while heading from republic of Dave to the oasis. used a stealth boy and slipped passed the mirelurks, as i went i dropped frag mines behind me which killed several of my enemies, used guide above to find the violin and the sheet music, and get out as quickly and efficiently as possible. remember to save often and if your discovered kill them quickly and hide, shut doors behind you and wait a few hours and then continue,
The biggest help is a high explosive, and a high lock pick skill
also remember that a mirelurks weakness is their face,
recomend using a combat shotgun at close range

MISSABLE

The reason this is considered missable is because, according to the Fallout Wiki, it’s possible to miss it entirely by being rude to Agatha during your first conversation with her so save before entering her house.

Agatha lives in a small house surrounded by rocky outcrops Northeast of the Meresti trainyard and West of the Scrapyard and is only accessible via a rope bridge to West of her house. If you get lost, just look for a Radio Mast as there is one in her garden and there are two destroyed Monorail tracks in the vicinity as well. Once you've found Agatha's house go in and speak to her.

Agatha wants you to recover a Soil Stradivarius violin from Vault 92. She doesn’t know where the Vault is so you'll have to find it yourself. When pressed, Agatha will give you the location of the Vault-Tec headquarters. If your Charisma or Speech levels are high enough or are Male and have the Lady Killer Perk, then you can sweet talk her into giving you the key to her dead husbands' ammo box.

There are 3 ways to find Vault 92:

1: Use the Vault-Tec computer in the Citadel during the "Picking up the Trail" Quest.
2: Visit the Vault-Tec headquarters during the optional Objective for this Quest and retrieve the info from their Mainframe.
3: Go to Old Olney and stumble across it.

The choice is yours as to which one you go for. Whichever way you choose, you'll face a lot of dangerous enemies along the way so ensure you have plenty of ammo and health items and that your weapons and armour are fully repaired. If you decide to go to the Vault-Tec headquarters then see here for how to access the Mainframe: LINK (credit to the Fallout Wiki for this link).

Note: If you have Mothership: Zeta DLC, then stay away from a spot to the Northwest of the Greener Pastures Disposal Site else you'll be abducted and forced to finish that DLC before you can resume this Quest.

Once you get to Vault 92, enter and make your way to the "Lab" area of the Sound Testing section where the violin is but you need to release the security lock via a terminal in the adjacent room. Before you leave Vault 92, head to the Living Quarters and into the Men's Dorm. Now go to the toilet area and look behind each toilet until you find a book of Sheet Music hiding behind one of them, giving this to Agatha will give you another reward but more on that later.

Once you've recovered the Violin and the Sheet Music Paper, exit the Vault and Fast Travel back to Agatha's House and hand them in. The trophy will pop once the conversation is finished and she's given you the frequency to her radio station. To claim your additional reward, which is a unique Magnum, you have to speak to Agatha again after giving her the Violin then choose the "Guess what I have for you?", "Sure, I'll take whatever you can afford" and "Thanks, Agatha. It's more than I expected" options.

To start this quest, find Agatha's house, located NE of Meresti trainyard and west of the Scrapyard. After taking to Agatha, she will ask you to retrieve the Soil Stradivarius from Vault 92, right at the very top of the Capitol Wasteland in the eastern corner.

Once you have reached Vault 92, proceed to the sound testing area where the the Soil Stradivarius is located in one of the performance rooms, dealing with a few mirelurks on the way. Then Simply leave the vault and return to Agatha, who will reward you with the frequency for her radio music.

You can alternatively take the Soil Stradivarius to either Abraham Washington in Rivet City or Ahzrukhal at The Ninth Circle in Underworld, who will both pay you 200-300 caps for it. No matter who you give it to, the trophy will unlock.
