The Hornbostel–Sachs system categorizes musical instruments by how they make sound. It divides instruments into five groups: idiophones, membranophones, chordophones, aerophones, and electrophones. A number of instruments also exist outside the five main classes.
Set of bell plates, range C2–E4, a struck idiophone (played with mallets) or friction idiophone (bowed) Claves (foreground), a struck idiophone. An idiophone is any musical instrument that creates sound primarily by the vibration of the instrument itself, without the use of air flow (as with aerophones), strings (chordophones), membranes (membranophones) or electricity (electrophones).
A bell pattern is a rhythmic pattern of striking a hand-held bell or other instrument of the idiophone family, to make it emit a sound at desired intervals. It is often a key pattern [ 1 ] [ 2 ] (also known as a guide pattern , [ 3 ] phrasing referent , [ 4 ] timeline , [ 5 ] or asymmetrical timeline [ 6 ] ), in most cases it is a metal bell ...
1: Idiophones. instrument in which the substance of the instrument itself produces sounds, without requiring stretched membranes or strings. 11: Struck idiophones. Instruments that produce sounds through vibration caused by percussion action - hitting, shaking, or scraping. 111: Directly struck idiophones. Instrument that is struck by a player ...
Struck idiophones are categorised as 11 in the Hornbostel-Sachs system. There are two main categories of struck idiophones, directly (111) and indirectly (112) struck. According to Sachs, [1] "Struck Idiophones consist of one or several pieces made of a sonorous substance and struck with a stick or a similar device with rotary motion of the arm.
A bell is regarded as having a good tone when it is "in tune with itself". [24] In western bell founding, this is known as "harmonic tuning" of a bell, which results in the bell's strongest harmonics being in harmony with each other and the strike note. This produces the brightest and purest sound, which is the attractive sound of a good bell.
121.1 Clack idiophones - The lamella is carved in the surface of a fruit shell, which serves as resonator. Cricri; 121.2 Guimbardes and Jaw harps - The lamella is mounted in a rod- or plaque-shaped frame and depends on the player's mouth cavity for resonance.
