In the Middle Ages, minstrels, jongleurs, troubadours, and minnesingers were all musicians. For the most part they travelled, so they did not use heavy instruments, such as organs. They used harps, lutes, lyres, fiddles (including bowed lyres), flutes, flageolets, pipes, bagpipes, drums, and so on.
Lyres
Music played an important part in ancient Egyptian society and formed an important part of religious ceremonies as well as everyday entertainment. Harps, lutes, tambourines, flutes, clarinets, trumpets, oboes, rattles, drums and seven-string lyres have all been identified in Egyptian art. The name of the lyre was written DADAt in hieroglyphs [D=dj and A is a glottal stop], followed by the determinative for wooden things (there was no single hieroglyph depicting the lyre as there was for the lute). Your question implies that there was more than one type of lyre, but I can find no evidence for this. Only one name for the instrument existed in the ancient Egyptian language and pictures seem to be very consistent in the details shown, so I guess that only one type was generally used. The seven strings make the Egyptian lyre distinct from the Greek instrument. The link below shows a typical lyre in an Egyptian wall painting.
Anglo-Saxons relaxed through various activities, including storytelling, music, and feasting. Gatherings often featured bards who recited epic tales and poetry, while music was played on instruments like lyres and flutes. They also enjoyed games such as dice and board games, and communal feasts provided an opportunity to bond and celebrate with family and friends. Additionally, outdoor activities like hunting and fishing offered a way to unwind in nature.
Troubadours played different kinds of flute, including side blown wooden flutes, recorders and similar instruments, and an instrument called the gemshorn, which was like an ocarina, but was made from the horn of a goat. They played a number of necked stringed instruments, including a variety of lutes, they also played instruments like guitars in Spain. There was a Byzantine lyra, which was shaped rather like a lute, but bowed, and there was the medieval fiddle. In some places they played harps. In some places in Britain and Scandinavia, they played lyres, and these were sometimes played with a bow. They had zithers of various kinds, including the psaltery and dulcimer. They came to play the dulcimer with hammers, instead of plucking it, and the hammered dulcimer can be quite a lovely instrument. Folk musicians played bagpipes of various kinds during the Middle Ages. They also played drums of various kinds. There were trumpets and horns, but I think troubadours did not get into them much. They included the cornetto, which was a type of horn with holes like a recorder and made of wood. They also included the sackbut, which was ancestral to the trombone.
