Instruments

European-

Lute: A lute is any culled string instrument with a neck and a profound round back encasing an empty depression, ordinarily with a sound gap or opening in the body. All the more explicitly, the expression "lute" can allude to an instrument from the group of European lutes. It was invented
in Western Europe in the 1660s.

Zither: Zither is a class of stringed instruments. The word Zither is a German rendering of the Greek word cithara, from which the modern word "guitar" also derives. In the 18th century, two principal varieties of zither developed: The Salzburg zither and the Mittenwald zither.

Viol: The viol, viola da gamba, or gamba, is any of a group of bowed, fussed and stringed instruments with empty wooden bodies and pegboxes where the pressure on the strings can be expanded or diminished to modify the pitch of every one of the strings. It developed in the late 15th century from the vihuela.

Shawm: The shawm is a tapered bore, twofold reed woodwind instrument made in Europe from the 12th century to the present day. It accomplished its pinnacle of ubiquity amid the medieval and Renaissance periods, after which it bit by bit obscured by the oboe group of relative instruments in established music.
