 ==Keyboard Instruments==
 This is the most modern group of instruments, with most only having been devised in the last two hundred years or so. They are divided into two subtypes, the venerable '''aerophone''' (creating sound by forcing pressurized air through pipes, mediated by keys) and the new-fangled '''chordophones''' (creating sound by striking at or plucking strings, likewise mediated by keys).

 These exist in immense variety, and are divided into two subtypes, '''plucked''' and '''bowed'''. Plucked instruments may require a pick or plectrum to play, or they may be played with the fingers alone. Bowed instruments (unsurprisingly) require a bow to play.

 ==Percussion Instruments==
 These are the oldest of the musical instruments. They exist in two subtypes, '''idiophone''' (where sound is created primarily by the vibration of the instrument itself) and '''membranophone''' (where sound is created by means of a vibrating stretched membrane). There's no functional difference between the two in terms of mechanics, but the difference may help in imagining the instrument in question and how it works and sounds.
