Classification (Sachs-Von Hornbostel revised by MIMO)
-
423.233.1
aerophone--chromatic labrosone valve trumpet with short air column (less than 2m); the tube is predominantly cylindrical
-
423.233.2
aerophone--chromatic labrosone valve trumpet with long air column (more than 2m); the tube is predominantly cylindrical
-
513
electrophone--electro-acoustic chordophones: musical instrument that has tensioned strings the vibrations of which are transduced into an analogue fluctuation of an electric current that can be electronically modified before being passed through a loudspeaker to deliver sound
-
412.132-8
aerophone--set of idiophonic interruptive free reeds: each reed/lamella itself vibrates through a closely-fitting slot when activated by an airstream; with keyboard
-
314.122-8
chordophone--true board zither (the plane of the strings is parallel with that of the string bearer): with resonator box (box zither); the resonator is made from slats; with keyboard
-
422.221.2-62
aerophone--set of cylindrical-bore reedpipes with single reeds; each pipe has a [single] reed consisting of a lamella which periodically opens and closes an aperture, controlling the flow of air; at least one pipe has fingerholes; with flexible air reservoir
-
531.2
electrophone--analogue synthesizers and other electronic instruments with solid state circuitry (transistor and/or integrated circuitry) generating and/or processing electric sound signals
-
541-8
electrophone--digital synthesizers and other electronic equipment that use quantized sequences of pulses to digitally design and process electronic sound signals; with keyboard
-
112.41
idiophone--slit-tube rattle: the wall of a tube is turned into several long and narrow parallel tongues by longitudinal cuts along much of its length; the end of the tube with the tongues is struck against a non-sonorous object, causing the tongues to randomly strike against one another
-
112.42
idiophone--rod rattle; several rods are suspended vertically in a row from a frame; with a brushing motion along the length of the row, the rods randomly strike against one another
-
112.23
idiophone--scraped vessel: the player causes a scraping movement directly or indirectly; a non-sonorous object moves along the notched surface of a sonorous vessel, to be alternately lifted off the teeth and flicked against them
-
111.246
idiophone--percussion pot: a sonorous hollow pot-like object, with a soundhole
-
312.11
chordophone--whole-tube zither (the string carrier is a complete tube): idiochord
-
531.221-8
electrophone--modular analogue synthesizer with solid state circuity based devises generating and processing electric sound signals using subtractive synthesis; with keyboard
-
112.1
idiophone--indirectly-struck shaken idiophone
-
112.511.1
idiophone--stylusphone with pointed metal stylus, reproduction directed by external acoustical horn: the sound of the membrane transducer is directed and heard through an acoustical horn outside of the phonograph
-
112.511.2
idiophone--stylusphone with pointed metal stylus, reproduction directed by internal acoustical horn: the sound of the membrane transducer is directed and heard through an acoustical horn located inside the phonograph
-
112.521.1
idiophone--stylusphone with a glass- or gem-tipped metal stylus, reproduction directed by external acoustical horn: the sound of the membrane transducer is directed and heard through an acoustical horn outside of the phonograph
-
112.521.2
idiophone--stylusphone with a glass- or gem-tipped metal stylus, reproduction directed by internal acoustical horn: the sound of the membrane transducer is directed and heard through an acoustical horn located inside the phonograph
-
323.1
chordophone--arched spike-harp with tall stringholder
-
413.2
aerophone--implosive aerophone: the air is made to vibrate by a single density stimulus condensation shock that forces the air in (see 111.246--413.2)
-
511.111.1
electrophone--indirectly-struck electro-acoustic idiophone stylusphone with a stationary gem-tipped stylus and internal loudspeaker: the transduced electrical signal from the stylus/needle is amplified and heard through a loudspeaker integral to the phonograph
-
511.112.1
electrophone--indirectly-struck electro-acoustic idiophone stylusphone with a mobile gem-tipped stylus and internal loudspeaker: the transduced electrical signal from the stylus/needle is amplified and heard through a loudspeaker integral to the phonograph
