As regards instruments and the use of instrument names in literature, Hungarian musicology recognizes two distinct periods. One refers to the archaeological finds and instrument fragments recovered in the Carpathian Basin from before 896 A.D.; the other spans a period from the Hungarians’ conquest of this area (896) and the foundation of their state (1001) to the end of the 20th century. Europe’s only Roman organ from the turn of the 2nd and 3rd centuries is preserved at the Aquincum Museum of the Budapest Historical Museum. The pipes from the age of the Avars are kept at the Hungarian National Museum. The Museum of Music History presents the relics and documents of the instrumental culture of the 18th–20th centuries. From the period between the archaeological finds and modern-day instruments very few, if any, objects remain unless the rich treasure a vestige of folk instruments is regarded as of the interim period (e.g. the peasant bagpipe is considered to be a 20th century copy of a mediaeval instrument). Place and family names including instrument names have featured in deeds and documents of land donations or divisions from the early 12th century.
