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).
Concussion Idiophone [2] The hyōshigi ( 拍子木 ) is a simple Japanese musical instrument , consisting of two pieces of hardwood or bamboo often connected by a thin ornamental rope. The clappers are played together or on the floor to create a cracking sound.
A number of instruments have been invented, designed, and made, that make sound from matter in its liquid state. This class of instruments is called hydraulophones . Hydraulophones use an incompressible fluid, such as water, as the initial sound-producing medium, and they may also use the hydraulic fluid as a user-interface.
Kemanak (Javanese: ꦏꦼꦩꦤꦏ꧀, romanized: Kemanak) is a banana-shaped idiophone used in Javanese gamelan, made of bronze. They are actually metal slit drums. It is struck with a padded stick and then allowed to resonate.
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. 121.21 Idioglot guimbardes - The lamella is of one substance with the frame of the ...
Shishi odoshi (Japan) struck idiophone: hydraulophone gaiaphone: Japan; used to scare birds and deer from crops and to decorate gardens. Water moves the bamboo section (hydraulophone). Noise produced from bamboo striking hard surface (gaiaphone). unpitched percussion: Suikinkutsu (Japanese water zither) struck idiophone: hydraulophone
Instruments classified by Hornbostel–Sachs as struck or friction idiophones, struck or friction membranophones or struck chordophones. Where an instrument meets this definition but is often or traditionally excluded from the term percussion this is noted. Instruments commonly used as unpitched and/or untuned percussion.
13: Instruments in which the substance of the instrument itself produces sounds and are set into vibration by rubbing. 14: Instruments set into vibration by blowing or moving air. 15: Idiophones not allocated a number in the Hornbostel-Sachs system. 2: Instruments in which sound is produced primarily through a vibrating membrane (membranophone).
