|-
|caption|| – a caption for the photo of the instrument
|-
|background|| – the general classification of the instrument ('keyboard', 'woodwind', 'brass', 'string', 'percussion', 'electronic', or 'other') used to choose the color scheme of the infobox and populate a simple classification link-header below the image caption

|-
|volume|| – how loud the instrument is: "low", "medium", "high"
|-
|attack|| – how quickly the instrument begins making sound when it starts being played: "slow", "medium", "fast"
|-
|decay|| – how long the sound fades after the instrument stops being played: "slow", "medium", "fast"
|-
|range|| – the playing range of the instrument (an image is preferred; many are already created, see [[commons:Category:Instrument ranges]])
|-
