A woman playing the shō. The shō was first used as a solo instrument for contemporary music by the Japanese performer Mayumi Miyata.Miyata and other shō players who specialize in contemporary music use specially constructed instruments whose silent pipes are replaced by pipes that sound notes unavailable on the more traditional instrument, giving a wider range of pitches.
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 ).
Such instruments may have particularly long classification numbers with colons and hyphens used as well as numbers. Hornbostel and Sachs themselves cite the case of various bagpipes where some of the pipes are single reed (like a clarinet) and others are double reed (like the oboe ).
321: Instruments in which the strings run in a plane parallel to the sound table 321.3: Instruments in which the string bearer is a plain handle (handle lutes) 321.32: Instrument in which the handle is attached to, or carved from, the resonator, like a neck (necked lutes) 321.321: Instrument whose body is shaped like a bowl (necked bowl lutes)
A family of musical instruments is a grouping of several different but related sizes or types of instruments. Some schemes of musical instrument classification, such as the Hornbostel-Sachs system, are based on a hierarchy of instrument families and families of families. Some commonly recognized families are: Strings family; Woodwind family ...
321: Instruments in which the strings run in a plane parallel to the sound table 321.1 : Instruments in which each string has its own flexible carrier ( bow lutes ) 321.2 : Instruments in which the string is attached to a yoke that consists of a cross-bar and two arms, with the yoke lying in the same plane as the sound-table ( lyres or yoke lutes )
This is a list of instruments by Hornbostel–Sachs number, covering those instruments that are classified under 321.33 under that system. These instruments are also known as semi-spike lutes, tanged lutes and internal spike lutes. These instruments are made of a resonator and string bearer that are physically united, with strings in parallel ...
