A Lute
During the 1500s and 1600s, the most famous instrument was the lute, a plucked string instrument prominent in Renaissance and early Baroque music. Its versatility and expressive capabilities made it popular among both professional musicians and amateur players. Additionally, the harpsichord gained prominence during this period, particularly in the realm of keyboard music, becoming a staple in ensembles and solo performances. These instruments played a crucial role in shaping the musical landscape of the time.
The recorder was the most common instrument in the renaissance by a long what so many, many composers compose for it. It was still popular in the baroque period though not the most. So, I'm guessing there are thousands of them. In the Renaissance the music wasn't written "For Recorder" but "For Soprano" so it could be any instrument able to play in that range.
the most popular brass instrument is the french horn. I also play it :)
Clavichord is the oldest and quietest keyboard instrument. Harpsichord was very popular in Renaissance and Baroque period. Sound is produced by plucking string when a key is pressed. Other similar but smaller instruments were virginal, muselar and spinet.
