The Jew's harp, also known as a mouth harp, belongs to the family of Musical Instruments called the plucked idiophones. These are also known as lamellophones. In the Hornbostel-Sachs classification system for musical instruments, this mouth harp belongs to category 12.
The harp comes from the string family of instruments, which are also called chordophones.
A harpsichord was the first ever piano. Unlike today's piano, all the notes were played at the same volume.
