Do you know how many musical instruments they are?
They are easily hundreds of them if you include every percussion instruments.
The ones that we are familiar with can be found in many orchestra.
Let's take a look at a few today:
Accordion: An accordion is an instrument that has a small keyboard on the front and free-vibrating metal reeds that make noise when air is generated in a pumping motion of the main body of the instrument. I remembered my grade school teacher played this instrument during the music class. I was always amazed when he moved the instrument around. If you can play piano, you can probably figure out how to play this instrument.
Greece Bagpipes: The bagpipes are a wind instrument that most people recognize as a native Scottish instrument. Bagpipes comes in different types and are most popular in Europe countries. Many versions of Amazing Grace are arranged with bagpipes.
The bagpipes have several tubes; one of the tubesplays the melody while the other tubes sound the drones and the held notes. What happens is the windbag is filled by the player through a mouthpiece. Then when the bag is squeezed the air pushed out creates the sound.
Celesta: This is a keyboard instrument which looks just like anormal upright piano except a miniature version of one. It has tuned metal plates instead of cords that are struck by the hammers. The hammers, like on a normal piano are operated by the keys on the keyboard. If you can play piano, I am most certain you can play a celesta. In fact, I like the sound of this instrument quite a bit.
Almost all of the above instruments origined from the European countries.
