As a child, Johann Pachelbel was known to play the organ and the violin. He likely received early musical training on these instruments, which contributed to his later development as a composer and organist. Pachelbel's proficiency in these instruments laid the foundation for his significant contributions to Baroque music, particularly in organ and choral works.
He was capable of playing the viola, violin, piano, harpsichord and organ.
