The oldest keyboard instrument is generally considered to be the "hydraulis," an ancient Greek water organ dating back to around 300 BC. However, the modern organ evolved significantly from various earlier instruments. While the organ is one of the earliest and most prominent keyboard instruments, it is not the absolute oldest when considering the broad history of keyboard instruments. Other early examples include various types of claviers and harpsichords that developed later.
