Read the passage. Most people today can identify any number of modern musical instruments and know of others, like the pianoforte and the harpsichord, that are not played often. Other instruments, however, were once commonly used but have since become extremely rare. The nyckelharpa, for example, came into existence hundreds of years ago. A Swedish instrument, it is a keyed fiddle that is played with a bow. This is just one example of the thousands of musical instruments that most modern music lovers have never heard of.
