What musical instrumet can you play

Recommended Posts

I used to play the flute, I still have it, however its been collecting dust in my closet for quite some time. I've been thinking about digging it out for a jump, getting a picture of me sitting with it in the air to send to my Mom and Dad to let them know I still play it. NOT:P;)

Yes, piano is a percussion instrument... so is the xylophone, clavichord, harpsichord, etc. It's because you stike the keys to make a sound.


BZZZZT!

Wrong answer. Thank you for playing, please come back and play again sometime.

A harpsichord creates music by plucking the strings, not by striking themwith a hammer like a piano.

Back to music class fer ye, bucko!

uh not exactly, with the piano/harpsichord style insturments, they are classed precussion because there is a hammer attached to the other end of the keys that strike the stings inside

Actually, given the difference between how they all function, instruments with keyboards tend to be referred to in music scholarship as (get ready for this...) "keyboard instruments." This is because classifying them by their method of sound production (for example, that pianos are percussion instruments, clavichords and harpsichords are string instruments, organs are wind instruments, etc.) negates their most obvious similarity: that they are played by fingers (or, I suppose, feet too) on a keyboard. Thus, a pianist could play on an organ or a harpsichord, whereas one would not immediately expect a wind player to be able to play a string instrument.
