The xylophone was first introduced to the European orchestra in the late 19th century, by Charles Camille in a piece called 'danse macbre' in 1874.\n\nHope that helps!

Me on both counts.  I play guitar, bass and a little drums.  In fact, the first song I learned to play all the way through on guitar was "Seek And Destroy" back in 1986 or so.  =)

i was 10.  now 23.  my mom started to teach me, and now i think i'm pretty good. but from what i hear, everybody plays guitar nowadays. it didn't take me very long because i really liked music and i liked it so much i just played constantly. i started with an acoustic and i think it would be pretty good to start with. it's basic and you can find cheap ones to see if you like it. plus you won't have to get an amp for it. good luck.

Bernard Lassimone, a French mathematician, applied for the first patent (french patent #2444) on pencil sharpeners, in 1828. In 1847, Therry des Estwaux invented the manual pencil sharpener.

Cuban Laurel Aitken is generally credited with "inventing" or discovering Ska in 1959.  Others credit Theophelus Beckford.  It later "metamorphosed" into classic reggae in the 1960s in Jamaica.  (Ernest Ranglin, though not a "reggae" guitarist, probably deserves credit for the success of reggae since he taught Bob Marley to play the guitar.)\n\n\nEDIT: (I just read everyone else's answers but I still think I'm right...)

I have played for many years. Little of both - some lessons to start me out and then the passion took over.\n\nMany sites on the web for learning and some are free.\nSearch for "guitar lessons" with the quotes.\n\n ♫♪♫

The saxophone or sax is a conical-bored instrument of the woodwind family, usually made of brass and played with a single-reed mouthpiece like the clarinet. It was invented by Adolphe Sax around 1840. The saxophone is most commonly associated with popular music, big band music, and jazz, but it was originally intended as both an orchestral and military band instrument

1) The Telephone \nThe telephone is an instrument that converts voice and sound signals into electrical impulses for transmission by wire to a different location, where another telephone receives the electrical impulses and turns them back into recognizable sounds. In 1875, Alexander Graham Bell built the first telephone that transmitted electrically the human voice.\n2) The History of Computers\nThere are many major milestones in the history of computers, starting with 1936, when Konrad Zuse built the first freely programmable computer.\n3) Television \nIn 1884, Paul Nipkow sent images over wires using a rotating metal disk technology with 18 lines of resolution. Television then evolved along two paths, mechanical based on Nipkow's rotating disks, and electronic based on the cathode ray tube. American Charles Jenkins and Scotsman John Baird followed the mechanical model while Philo Farnsworth, working independently in San Francisco, and Russian émigré Vladimir Zworkin, working for Westinghouse and later RCA, advanced the electronic model.\n4) The Automobile\nIn 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was invented by French mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot. However, it was a steam-powered model. In 1885, Karl Benz designed and built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal-combustion engine. In 1885, Gottlieb Daimler took the internal combustion engine a step further and patented what is generally recognized as the prototype of the modern gas engine and later built the world's first four-wheeled motor vehicle.\n5) The Cotton Gin \nEli Whitney patented the cotton gin on March 14, 1794. The cotton gin is a machine that separates seeds, hulls and other unwanted materials from cotton after it has been picked.\n6) The Camera\nIn 1814, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce created the first photographic image with a camera obscura, however, the image required eight hours of light exposure and later faded. Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre is considered the inventor of the first practical process of photography in 1837.\n7) The Steam Engine\nThomas Savery was an English military engineer and inventor who in 1698, patented the first crude steam engine. Thomas Newcomen invented the atmospheric steam engine in 1712. James Watt improved Newcomen's design and invented what is considered the first modern steam engine in 1765.\n8) The Sewing Machine\nThe first functional sewing machine was invented by the French tailor, Barthelemy Thimonnier, in 1830. In 1834, Walter Hunt built America's first (somewhat) successful sewing machine. Elias Howe patented the first lockstitch sewing machine in 1846. Isaac Singer invented the up-and-down motion mechanism. In 1857, James Gibbs patented the first chain-stitch single-thread sewing machine. Helen Augusta Blanchard patented the first zig-zag stitch machine in 1873.\n9) The Light Bulb\nContrary to popular belief, Thomas Alva Edison didn't "invent" the light bulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. In 1809, Humphry Davy, an English chemist, invented the first electric light. In 1878, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan, an English physicist, was the first person to invent a practical and longer-lasting electic lightbulb (13.5 hours) with a carbon fiber filament. In 1879, Thomas Alva Edison invented a carbon filament that burned for forty hours.\n10) Penicillin \nPenicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928. Andrew Moyer patented the first method of industrial production of penicillin in 1948.

I assume you are asking about electric guitars? Accoustics are a different kettle of fish....\n\nI'm not up-to-date but I used to be pretty active in the 80s. At that time, and for many years before that, the most popular production guitars were probably the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul.\n\nBut even in the 80s, a lot of serious guitarists were getting custom guitars built for them or building them themselves in some cases.\n\nFor a more up-to-date answer, visit your local music store or check out a guitarist magazine like Guitar Player.

Vulcanized rubber was invented in 1843, so it came first. Look up Charles Goodyear.
