These are the 5 categories of Musical Instruments as far as I know them.

Membranophones- use a vibrating membrane to make a noise (ex. a conga drum)

Idiophones- The actual instrument vibrates (ex. a xylophone or a bell)

Aerophones- Moving air creates the sound (ex. a Flute)

Chordophones- Vibrating string makes sound (ex. a banjo)

Electrophones- electronic production of a sound, coming out of a speaker (ex. keyboard)
