It had a box-type frame with strings stretched from the cross-bar at the top to the <a href="/wiki/Sounding_box" class="mw-redirect" title="Sounding box">sounding box</a> at the bottom; it was held upright and played with a <a href="/wiki/Plectrum" title="Plectrum">plectrum</a>.

Modern reconstructions indicate that they produced a low, clarinet-like sound. There is some confusion about the exact nature of the instrument; alternate descriptions indicate single reeds instead of double reeds.</li> <li>the <a href="/wiki/Pan_pipes" class="mw-redirect" title="Pan pipes">Pan pipes</a>, also known as panflute and <a href="/wiki/Syrinx" title="Syrinx">syrinx</a> (Greek συριγξ), (so-called for the nymph who was changed into a reed in order to hide from <a href="/wiki/Pan_(mythology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Pan (mythology)">Pan</a>) is an ancient musical instrument based on the principle of the stopped pipe, consisting of a series of such pipes of gradually increasing length, tuned (by cutting) to a desired scale.

In the early centuries of the medieval era, these chants were taught and spread by oral tradition ("by ear"). The earliest Medieval music did not have any kind of notational system for writing down melodies. As Rome tried to standardize the various chants across vast distances of its empire, a form of music notation was needed to write down the melodies. Various signs written above the chant texts, called <i><a href="/wiki/Neumes" class="mw-redirect" title="Neumes">neumes</a></i> were introduced. By the ninth century, it was firmly established as the primary method of musical notation. The next development in musical notation was <i>heighted neumes</i>, in which neumes were carefully placed at different heights in relation to each other. This allowed the neumes to give a rough indication of the size of a given interval as well as the direction. </p><p>This quickly led to one or two lines, each representing a particular note, being placed on the music with all of the neumes relating back to them. The line or lines acted as a reference point to help the singer gauge which notes were higher or lower. At first, these lines had no particular meaning and instead had a letter placed at the beginning indicating which note was represented. However, the lines indicating middle C and the F a fifth below slowly became most common. The completion of the four-line staff is usually credited to <a href="/wiki/Guido_of_Arezzo" title="Guido of Arezzo">Guido d' Arezzo</a> (c. 1000-1050), one of the most important musical theorists of the Middle Ages. The neumatic notational system, even in its fully developed state, did not clearly define any kind of rhythm for the singing of notes or playing of melodies. The development of music notation made it faster and easier to teach melodies to new people, and facilitated the spread of music over long geographic distances. </p> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Head_of_Christ1.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Head_of_Christ1.jpg/140px-Head_of_Christ1.jpg" decoding="async" width="140" height="177" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Head_of_Christ1.jpg/210px-Head_of_Christ1.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Head_of_Christ1.jpg/280px-Head_of_Christ1.jpg 2x" data-file-width="793" data-file-height="1000" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Musical_notation" title="Musical notation">Musical notation</a> from a Catholic <a href="/wiki/Missal" title="Missal">Missal</a>, c.1310-1320</figcaption></figure> <p>Instruments used to perform medieval music include earlier, less mechanically sophisticated versions of a number of instruments that continue to be used in the 2010s.

During the Baroque period, organ builders developed new types of pipes and reeds that created new tonal colors. Organ builders fashioned new stops that imitated various instruments, such as the <a href="/wiki/Viol" title="Viol">viola da gamba</a>. The Baroque period is often thought of as organ building's "golden age," as virtually every important refinement to the instrument was brought to a peak. Builders such as <a href="/wiki/Arp_Schnitger" title="Arp Schnitger">Arp Schnitger</a>, Jasper Johannsen, <a href="/wiki/Zacharias_Hildebrandt" title="Zacharias Hildebrandt">Zacharias Hildebrandt</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gottfried_Silbermann" title="Gottfried Silbermann">Gottfried Silbermann</a> constructed instruments that displayed both exquisite craftsmanship and beautiful sound. These organs featured well-balanced mechanical key actions, giving the organist precise control over the pipe speech. Schnitger's organs featured particularly distinctive reed timbres and large Pedal and Rückpositiv divisions. </p><p>Harpsichord builders in the <a href="/wiki/Southern_Netherlands" title="Southern Netherlands">Southern Netherlands</a> built instruments with two keyboards that could be used for <a href="/wiki/Transposition_(music)" title="Transposition (music)">transposition</a>. These Flemish instruments served as the model for Baroque-era harpsichord construction in other nations. In France, the double keyboards were adapted to control different choirs of strings, making a more musically flexible instrument (e.g., the upper manual could be set to a quiet lute stop, while the lower manual could be set to a stop with multiple string choirs, for a louder sound). Instruments from the peak of the French tradition, by makers such as the <a href="/wiki/Blanchet_(harpsichord_makers)" title="Blanchet (harpsichord makers)">Blanchet family</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pascal_Taskin" title="Pascal Taskin">Pascal Taskin</a>, are among the most widely admired of all harpsichords and are frequently used as models for the construction of modern instruments. In England, the <a href="/wiki/Kirkman_(harpsichord_makers)" title="Kirkman (harpsichord makers)">Kirkman</a> and <a href="/wiki/Burkat_Shudi" title="Burkat Shudi">Shudi</a> firms produced sophisticated harpsichords of great power and sonority. German builders extended the sound repertoire of the instrument by adding <a href="/wiki/Eight-foot_pitch" title="Eight-foot pitch">sixteen-foot</a> choirs, adding to the lower register and two-foot choirs, which added to the upper register. </p><p>The piano was invented during the Baroque era by the expert harpsichord maker <a href="/wiki/Bartolomeo_Cristofori" title="Bartolomeo Cristofori">Bartolomeo Cristofori</a> (1655–1731) of <a href="/wiki/Padua" title="Padua">Padua</a>, Italy, who was employed by <a href="/wiki/Ferdinando_de%27_Medici,_Grand_Prince_of_Tuscany" title="Ferdinando de' Medici, Grand Prince of Tuscany">Ferdinando de' Medici, Grand Prince of Tuscany</a>.

The harpsichord produced a sufficiently loud sound, but offered little expressive control over each note. Pressing a harpsichord key harder or softer had no effect on the instrument's loudness. The piano offered the best of both, combining loudness with dynamic control. Cristofori's great success was solving, with no prior example, the fundamental mechanical problem of piano design: the hammer must strike the string, but not remain in contact with it (as a tangent remains in contact with a clavichord string) because this would <a href="/wiki/Damping_(music)" title="Damping (music)">damp</a> the sound. Moreover, the hammer must return to its rest position without bouncing violently, and it must be possible to repeat the same note rapidly. Cristofori's piano <a href="/wiki/Action_(piano)" title="Action (piano)">action</a> was a model for the many approaches to piano actions that followed. Cristofori's early instruments were much louder and had more <a href="/wiki/Sustain" class="mw-redirect" title="Sustain">sustain</a> than the clavichord. Even though the piano was invented in 1700, the harpsichord and pipe organ continued to be widely used in orchestra and chamber music concerts until the end of the 1700s. It took time for the new piano to gain in popularity. By 1800, though, the piano generally was used in place of the harpsichord (although pipe organ continued to be used in church music such as Masses). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Classicism">Classicism</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Music_technology&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Classicism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>From about 1790 onward, the Mozart-era <a href="/wiki/Piano" title="Piano">piano</a> underwent tremendous changes that led to the modern form of the instrument.

Although in the 2010s, the term is most commonly used in reference to modern electronic devices and computer software such as <a href="/wiki/Digital_audio_workstation" title="Digital audio workstation">digital audio workstations</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pro_Tools" title="Pro Tools">Pro Tools</a> digital sound recording software, electronic and digital musical technologies have precursors in the <a href="/wiki/Music_technology_(electric)" title="Music technology (electric)">electric music technologies</a> of the early 20th century, such as the electromechanical <a href="/wiki/Hammond_organ" title="Hammond organ">Hammond organ</a>, which was invented in 1929. In the 2010s, the <a href="/wiki/Ontology" title="Ontology">ontological</a> range of music technology has greatly increased, and it may now be electronic, digital, software-based or indeed even purely conceptual. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:R.A.Moog_minimoog_2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/R.A.Moog_minimoog_2.jpg/220px-R.A.Moog_minimoog_2.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/R.A.Moog_minimoog_2.jpg/330px-R.A.Moog_minimoog_2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/R.A.Moog_minimoog_2.jpg/440px-R.A.Moog_minimoog_2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2880" data-file-height="2160" /></a><figcaption>An early <a href="/wiki/Minimoog" title="Minimoog">Minimoog</a> synthesizer by R.A.
