How do musical instruments work?

Question

I'm doing the music merit badge requirement 2 http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Music and need to draw pictures showing how all 5 types of musical instruments work. Does anyone know of any charts or pictures on the internet that can help me? I've searched and haven't had any luck. Thanks!

Answer 1

The five types of musical instruments are:

1. Woodwinds

2. Brass

3.percussion

4. strings

5. electrical and electronic instruments

Remember #5 electrical and electronic are newer additions to the classic ones above.

I put two really good links for better explanations. Also try to look each category up individually on a search engine.
