Acoustic musical instruments can be categorized into four main types: string instruments, wind instruments, percussion instruments, and keyboard instruments. String instruments, like guitars and violins, produce sound by vibrating strings that are plucked, strummed, or bowed. Wind instruments, such as flutes and trumpets, create sound by blowing air through a tube or reed, causing vibrations that produce sound waves.

Keyboard instruments, such as pianos and organs, produce sound by pressing keys that trigger hammers or air flow to create vibrations and sound waves.
