	What Are Historical Keyboard Instruments
		Keyboard instruments, as the name suggests, are musical instruments which are played by means of a keyboard--that is, the pitches to be sounded are selected by means of a set of levers (the keyboard), which is manipulated by the fingers, hands, or feet of the player.
		Other types of keyboard instruments include celestas (struck metal bars), carillons (tower chimes), and non-acoustic instruments, such as the various electronic organs, synthesizers, and keyboards which were designed to imitate the sound of acoustic keyboard instruments.
		Historical keyboard instruments, then, are instruments of types which composers of earlier times might have employed in performances of their own music.

		Orchestra instruments, guitars, drums, bells, and just about anything else that you can think of are sampled and stored inside the instrument, waiting for you to press a key with your finger to unleash them.
