Wind instruments included recorders; double reed pipes, such as the hornpipe and shawm; Bagpipes, which were of many types and played all over Europe; trumpets and horns, with the later often made of wood and having finger holes like recorders. These were popular instruments, but there were many others.
Stringed instruments included lutes, harps, fiddles, and, in some places, lyres. The lutes were not popular in Spain, where the local people associated them with Islamic music and replaced them with the vihuela de mano, the ancestors of Guitars. There were a number of different kinds of medieval fiddles, with some deriving their shape from the vihuela, and ancestral to the viola da gamba. The Byzantine fiddle, called a rebec, had a pear shaped body and was ancestral to the German geige, which gave its tuning to the violin. There were bowed lyres in Northern Europe.
The pipe organ, inherited from the Romans, who had a primitive form called a hydraulis, was an important instrument in the Byzantine Empire, and was reintroduced to the West about the time of Charlemagne. A very small pipe organ called a portative organ was used in processions.
Drums were used in various forms.

What instruments did medieval minstrels play?
That very much depends on the precise time period, since musical instruments are one of the many things that changed quickly during the very long medieval period. Taking the 12th century as an example, some earlier instruments were falling out of fashion and certain instruments had not yet been introduced. There were sets of different-sized hand bells fixed to a frame and struck with hammers, there were plucked psalteries, small portable organs worked by bellows, flutes (some double flutes), horns, simple forms of bag-pipe and small harps. Two quite similar instruments were the viol or vielle and the rebec, both rather like modern violins and played with a bow. A much larger instrument was the organistrum, which was a huge instrument like a hurdy-gurdy but played by two people. Drums were not common at this time. Later medieval instruments uncluded the crum-horn, shawm, lute and sacbut. See links below for images of 12th century instruments:
