Which of the following is NOT listed among the keyboard instruments in the material?

Keyboard instruments are defined by how their sound is produced through a keyboard interface that triggers the sound-producing action. The piano, harpsichord, and organ all generate sound when you press keys—hammers strike strings, quills pluck strings, or pipes are activated by the keyboard. The harp, on the other hand, is played by plucking strings with the fingers and does not use a keyboard to produce sound. Because of this playing method, it wouldn’t be listed among keyboard instruments in the material.
