Classification
Classes description
Idiophones
Musical instruments that make sound by way of vibrations of the whole instrument itself, owing to its solidity and elasticity, without the use of membranes or strings. See Classification.
Membranophones
Instruments that produce sound by way of vibrations of tightly stretched membranes. See Classification.
Chordophones
Instruments that create sound by way of vibrations of one or more strings stretched between two fixed points. See Classification.
Aerophones
Musical instruments that produce sound primarily thanks to vibrations of a body of air. In this group also belong reed instruments whose reeds are the primary vibrator as sound is produced when air causes the reed to vibrate. See Classification.
