A musical instrument is a device created to make musical
sounds. Anything that makes a sound can be used as a musical
instrument. The history of musical instruments goes back to
the beginning of culture. People first used instruments as
ritual: a hunter might use a trumpet to signal a successful
hunt; a drum might be used in a religious ceremony.
Cultures later composed and performed a set of sounds called a
melody for entertainment. Musical instruments were needed.
Some historians report that the earliest musical instrument was a
simple flute. Many of the earliest musical instruments were made
from animal skins, bone, wood, and other non-durable materials.
Musical instruments were developed separately in the different
countries and regions of the world, but when civilizations shared
information amongst themselves, the development of instruments
spread. For example, cultures of North America, South America,
and Central America used similar instruments and shared these
ideas of making instruments that were alike in some way.
Many different ways have been used to classify instruments over the years. One way to classify
instruments is to put them in groups by the range of music the instruments can play. Another
classification is to put them together by what they are made out of. However, the most common
method of grouping instruments is by how they produce sounds. The academic study of musical
instruments is called organology. Woodwinds and brass (sometimes called the “wind” instruments),
string, percussion, electric, and keyboard are types of instruments grouped according to how they
are made and the range of music and sounds they play.
Woodwind and brass instruments include the trumpet, clarinet, flute,
oboe, trombone, tuba, and harmonica. Stringed instruments include
the banjo, guitar, harp, violin, and viola. Percussion instruments
include the cymbal, chime, timpani, drum, and tambourine.
Electronic instruments are the keyboard and the synthesizer.
Keyboard instruments include the accordion, organ, and piano.
Maybe you will play an instrument someday. Will it be a woodwind
or brass, stringed, percussion, electronic or a keyboard instrument?

I think it's correct answer not 100percent
Answer:
1. woodwind and brass ⇒ b) trumpet, clarinet, flute
2. stringed ⇒ a) banjo, guitar, harp
3. percussion ⇒ e) cymbal, chime, drum
4. keyboard ⇒ d) accordion, organ, piano
5. electronic ⇒ c) keyboard, synthesizer
Explanation:
1.Woodwind instruments
Woodwind instruments, such as clarinets and flutes, are made out of wood or metal, while brass instruments are made exclusively out of metal or brass. Since reeds are absent from brass instruments, there is no trace of wood or reed in brass instruments.
2. musical instrument
a musical instrument (such as a guitar, violin, or piano) that has strings and that produces sound when the strings are touched or struck.
3.Percussion
Percussion is a method of tapping body parts with fingers, hands, or small instruments as part of a physical examination. It is done to determine: The size, consistency, and borders of body organs. The presence or absence of fluid in body areas.
4.keyboard instrument
keyboard instrument, any musical instrument on which different notes can be sounded by pressing a series of keys, push buttons, or parallel levers. In nearly all cases in Western music the keys correspond to consecutive notes in the chromatic scale, and they run from the bass at the left to the treble at the right.
5.electronic instrument
An electronic instrument is any musical instrument that produces or modifies sounds by electric, and usually electronic, means. The electronic element in such music is determined by the composer, and the sounds themselves are made or changed electronically.
