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.
This is a list of instruments by Hornbostel-Sachs number, covering those instruments that are classified under 321.314 under that system. These instruments may be known as spike frame lutes . 3 : Instruments in which sound is produced by one or more vibrating strings ( chordophones , string instruments ).
