Answer 1

Musical instruments for folk music:- Different names for the same type of instrument, crafted from locally available materials.

Explanation:

• Musical instruments are a virtually widespread component of mortal culture: archeology has uncovered pipes & whistles in the Palaeolithic period, and clay drums and shell trumpets in the Neolithic.

• It has been firmly established that the ancient city cultures of Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean, India, East Asia, and the Americas contained a diverse and well-developed classification of musical instruments, indicating that a long time ago evolution must have existed.

• About the origin of musical instruments, however, one can only speculate.

• Some scholars have speculated that the first tools were derived from such utilitarian objects as cooking utensils (drums) and hunting bows (musical bows); Others have argued that pots and bows may have preceded musical instruments; While the origins of music have often been attributed to deities in the myths of cultures around the world, especially in regions where music is considered an essential component of ritual necessary for spiritual existence.
