Oversigt over musikinstrumenternes navne på forskellige sprog. I partiturer til klassisk musik angives musikinstrumenterne med enten engelsk, italiensk, fransk eller tysk betegnelse. I rytmisk musik benyttes stort set kun engelske betegnelser. Listen over forkortelser er ikke komplet, men viser blot en række af de mest almindeligt anvendte forkortelser.
Alle sangstemmer, blæseinstrumenter og strengeinstrumenter er både noteret i entalsform og flertalsform. Flertalsendelsen er angivet i parentes bag instrumentnavnet. En bindestreg foran flertalsendelsen angiver, at endelsen erstatter sidste bogstav (eller de sidste bogstaver) af hovedordet. Tangentinstrumenter, slagtøj og percussion er udelukkende noteret i entalsform, idet disse instrumenter stort set kun anvendes enkeltvist.
