A musical instrument is an instrument created or adapted to make musical sounds.
 In principle, any object that produces sound can be considered a musical instrument—it is through purpose that the object becomes a musical instrument.
 The history of musical instruments dates to the beginnings of human culture.
 Early musical instruments may have been used for ritual, such as a trumpet to signal success on the hunt, or a drum in a religious ceremony.
 Cultures eventually developed composition and performance of melodies for entertainment.
 Musical instruments evolved in step with changing applications.
