A musical instrument is a device created or adapted for the purpose of
making musical sounds. In principle, any object that produces sound can serve as a musical instrument—it is through
purpose that the object becomes a musical instrument. The history of musical
instruments dates back to the beginnings of human culture. The purpose of early
musical instruments was ritual: a hunter might use a trumpet to signal success on the hunt, or a shaman
might use a drum in a religious ceremony.
Cultures later developed the processes of composing and performing melodies for entertainment. Musical
instruments evolved in step with changing applications.
