Notes
First mention of music is found in the Bible, as Jubal was said to be the father of all who play the lyre and pipe. ( Genesis 4:20-21 )

A lyre is a small U shaped heart with strings fixed to a cross bar.

The Water Organ is the oldest known keyboard to man or ape. The pipe- organ style are powered by blown air. Written records of water organs ( hydraulics ) are found in texts dating back as far as the 3rd century BCE.

The most famous water organ was created by Lucha Clericho from Tivoli ( what is now Italy ) in 1569-72 This organ stood over 20 feet high and was built under a massive arch and situated next to a water fall the fed the organ.
