In principle, any object that produces <a title=\"Sound\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sound\">sound<\/a> can be a musical instrument\u2014it is through purpose that the object becomes a musical instrument. The history of musical instruments dates to the beginnings of human culture. Early musical instruments may have been used for ritual, such as a <a title=\"Trumpet\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trumpet\">trumpet<\/a> to signal success on the hunt, or a <a title=\"Drum\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Drum\">drum<\/a> in a religious ceremony. Cultures eventually developed composition and performance of <a title=\"Melody\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Melody\">melodies<\/a> for entertainment. Musical instruments evolved in step with changing applications.<\/p>\n<p>The date and origin of the first device considered a musical instrument is disputed. The oldest object that some scholars refer to as a musical instrument, a simple <a title=\"Flute\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Flute\">flute<\/a>, dates back as far as 67,000 years. Some consensus dates early flutes to about 37,000 years ago. However, most historians believe that determining a specific time of musical instrument invention is impossible due to the subjectivity of the definition and the relative instability of materials used to make them. Many early musical instruments were made from animal skins, bone, wood, and other non-durable materials.<\/p>\n<p>Musical instruments developed independently in many populated regions of the world. However, contact among civilizations caused rapid spread and adaptation of most instruments in places far from their origin. By the <a title=\"Middle Ages\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Middle_Ages\">Middle Ages<\/a>, instruments from <a title=\"Mesopotamia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mesopotamia\">Mesopotamia<\/a> were in <a title=\"Maritime Southeast Asia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maritime_Southeast_Asia\">Maritime Southeast Asia<\/a>, and Europeans played instruments from North Africa. Development in the Americas occurred at a slower pace, but cultures of North, Central, and South America shared musical instruments. By 1400, musical instrument development slowed in many areas and was dominated by the <a title=\"Western world\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Western_world\">Occident<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Musical instrument classification is a discipline in its own right, and many systems of classification have been used over the years. Instruments can be classified by their effective range, their material composition, their size, etc. However, the most common academic\u00a0method, Hornbostel-Sachs, uses the means by which they produce sound.
