A great variety of unusual things have been used as musical instruments over the millenia. Sticks, bones, and animal skins have given way to a vast array of complex, finely-tuned instruments and computer based workstations. The amount of expression that can be pulled out of today’s quality instruments helps musicians to capture every nuance of their musical performance.
Music is a timeless and universal language; and instruments are the tools of musical communication. Many instruments have not changed in design for several centuries. The guitar, the piano, and the violin are a few examples of long-lasting designs. Other instruments have changed drastically as a result of the computer age. Virtual instruments have recently become a more powerful and viable option and MIDI technology has revolutionized the creation of music in the past two decades.
