Amir's Bag Of Marbles - If music be the food of love … play on by Amir Yussof – Coromind Issue 19, 2024

I have always wondered what the first musical instrument would have been? Presumably, the human vocal chords – chanting, singing or wailing around a fire pit would have been the first notes, and then some sort of drum or percussion instrument would have followed suit like beating a stick on a log or shaking a gourd full of seeds. But would we consider them to be musical instruments? www.coromind.nz
