Early music instruments

Early music instruments are the tools used to create sound in musical traditions from ancient times through the medieval and Renaissance eras. They include simple, often handmade devices like flutes made from bone or wood, drums carved from animal hides, stringed instruments such as lutes and early viols, and primitive keyboards like the harpsichord. These instruments laid the foundation for modern music, featuring materials and designs that evolved over centuries. They produce a wide range of sounds, from soft and melodic to loud and rhythmic, reflecting the diverse musical expressions of early civilizations.
