Study Notes
Categories of Musical Instruments
- Idiophones produce sound from the material of the instrument itself without the need for strings or membranes.
- Membranophones generate sound through vibrating membranes, commonly used in drums.
Types of Idiophones
- Percussion Idiophones are struck with sticks, beaters, or clappers, creating sound through impact. Examples include cymbals and xylophones.
- Shaken Idiophones produce sound by being shaken, which causes the material to vibrate. Examples include maracas and rattles.
- Plucked Idiophones create sound by being plucked, similar to strings but without traditional strings. Examples include thumb pianos (kalimbas) and musical saws.
Musicological Classification Systems
- Present-day musicological studies typically follow the Hornbostel-Sachs system, a comprehensive classification that categorizes instruments based on how they produce sound, including chordophones, aerophones, idiophones, and membranophones.
