The first stringed instrument is believed to be the "lyre," which dates back to ancient Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE. It featured a soundbox and strings made from animal gut, and it was played by plucking the strings with fingers or a plectrum. The lyre played a significant role in the music and culture of ancient civilizations, influencing the development of other stringed instruments over time.
