Bach was in his time considered a virtuoso on the organ. Of course, he mastered equally good other keyboard instruments of his time such as the harpsichord and the clavichord. Bach was also renowned to play the violin and the cello at a high level. Some scholars believe that he played the viola da spalla, a large bowed string instrument with the playing range of a cello but played (like a violin) placed on the shoulder. What did Bach not play? Probably every other instrument from his era. There are no sources that state that he played any wind instrument, or plucked string instrument like guitar or lute.
