∙ 7y agoNo one knows the answer to this question except that we can be reasonably sure that early man would have used plant material like reeds growing near water to make crude flutes or whistles. It is also easy to speculate that bow strings would make a noise under tension and it would not have been too long before a crude stringed instrument would have been made. Drums were probably the earliest instruments as when you stretch a skin on a drying rack to cure it, it will make a drum sound....not too long after listening to this sound, the natives in Africa (probably) would have made drums.
