2. 1 a - soundbox 1 b - double bass 1 c - viola 1 d - fret 1 e - harp 2 - false 5- banjo 6 - the true answer is D (because there are 12 string basses made) but I bet your teacher wants to hear 6 12 - Les Paul 19 - True, it was the Oud 20 - True 21 - False, that's why the Piano replaced it and why the name of the Piano is really Piano-Forte which means "soft and loud" which the harpsichord and virginal before it can't do. ----- 15 is not the harpsichord (a). Harpsichord strings are plucked. The hammered dulcimer (c) however is struck by hammers. 16 might be false. Stringed instruments have been around for thousands of years. They are mentioned in the Bible and in most historical ancient texts. If you reference the Bible as the source - they are mentioned in Genesis.
