Best Answer

piano violin and the organ
Beethoven is known for his playing of music when he's deaf. He plays the piano. To hear the music, he feels the vibration through the top and bottom of the piano. That is how you always here a piano in a piece of music of his, or you watch him play it in old time movies.
violins ,and trumpets
Beethoven played mostly piano, organ and violin; whilst it is not as well known, he also played the viola. He also dabbled with other keyboard instruments like harpsichord and clavier.

Yes he did, and the method he used after he went deaf, was to saw the legs off the piano, so that he could put his ear to the floor right along side, and actually feel the chords and notes to compose his works.

Whilst the above is a popular story, it was common for pianos of this time to have removable legs, as often musicians had to carry their instruments to court to entertain the nobility. Whether Beethoven used this ability to remove piano legs as an aid to hearing the vibrations remains a matter of conjecture.

Yes, Ludwig Beethoven played the Harpsichord, the harpsichord was made before the piano, and Ludwig played the harpsichord at many private parties as a request from the hosts, why would he not play it, he always had at lest one near him and some of his music was inspired from him playing something from the church on the harpsichord.
