In my opinion musical instruments are one of the great inventions of humankind - not essential for surviving, but giving us some happy and joyful moments : ))
Before the development of the electric guitar and the use of synthetic materials, a guitar was defined as being an instrument having "a long, fretted neck, flat wooden soundboard, ribs, and a flat back, most often with incurved sides."
The term is used to refer to a number of chordophones that were developed and used across Europe, beginning in the 12th century and, later, in the Americas.
A 3,300-year-old stone carving of a Hittite bard playing a stringed instrument is the oldest iconographic representation of a chordophone and clay plaques from Babylonia show people playing an instrument that has a strong resemblance to the guitar, indicating a possible Babylonian origin for the guitar.

Musikinstrumente zählen für mich mit zu den wichtigsten Schöpfungen der Menschheit - sie sind zwar nicht erforderlich für das Überleben, schenken den Menschen aber seit Jahrtausenden Momente von Freude und Glück ... und das ist unbezahlbar!!
