Most musical instruments have a string, a reed (Thin piece of wood or metal), or some other device that creates sound waves when set in motion. Musical Instruments can be grouped in five major classes. These classes are as below,
|
|
| Harmonium (Keyboard Instruments). |
|
|
Harmonium
(Keyboard) Instruments have a series of keys connected with a device that produces
tones. The musician presses the keys to make sounds. The most popular keyboard instruments
are the piano, Harmonium and pipe organ.

| String Instruments. |
|
|
String instruments produce tones when the player makes one or more strings vibrate. There are two basic types of stringed
instruments.
1. Bowed String Instrument.
2. Plucked String Instrument.
|
|
|
Bowed
String Instruments are played by drawing a bow back and forth across the strings. The pressure of the bow on the strings produces vibrations that are amplified by the body of the instrument. Most bowed instruments have four strings. Each of the strings is tuned to a different pitch. To produce other pitches, the musician shortens the strings by pressing down on them with the fingers.
|
|
|
Plucked
String Instruments are played by plucking the strings with the fingers or a pick. The guitar is the most common plucked stringed instrument. It has 6 to
12 strings. The harp, another important plucked instrument, has up to
47 strings. It produces the most tones of any stringed instrument. Other plucked stringed instruments include the banjo, lute, lyre, mandolin, sitar, ukulele, and zither. The strings of the violin and other bowed instruments also may be plucked to produce special effects.

| Wind Instruments. |
|
|
Wind instruments are played by blowing into or through a tube. There are two chief types.
1. Woodwind Instruments.
2. Brass Instruments.
|
|
|
All
Woodwind Instruments except the saxophone at one time were made of wood. Today, many are made of metal or other materials. In such woodwinds as recorders, the player blows through a mouthpiece into the instrument. In some other woodwinds, such as flutes and piccolos, the player blows across a hole in the instrument. |
|
|
The player controls the pitch by placing the fingers on holes in the instrument or on keys that cover holes. In this way, the player lengthens or shortens the column of air that vibrates inside the instrument. The piccolo and flute have the highest pitches of woodwinds, and the bassoon and contra bassoon, the lowest.

Brass
Instruments are played in a different way from that of woodwinds. The player presses the lips against the instrument's mouthpiece so that they vibrate like reeds when the player blows. By either tensing or relaxing the lips, the player produces different pitches.
