An idiophone is any musical instrument which creates sound primarily by
way of the instrument's vibrating, without the use of strings or
membranes. It is the first of the four main divisions in the original
Hornbostel-Sachs scheme of musical instrument classification. In the
early classification of Victor-Charles Mahillon, this group of
instruments was called autophones.
Most percussion instruments which are not drums are idiophones.
Hornbostel-Sachs divides idiophones into four main sub-categories. The
first division is the struck idiophones. This includes most of the
non-drum percussion instruments familiar in the West. They include all
idiophones which are made to vibrate by being hit, either directly with a
stick or hand, or indirectly, by way of a scraping or shaking motion.
Various types of bells fall into both categories.
The other three sub-divisions are rarer. They are plucked idiophones,
such as the jaw harp, amplified cactus, kouxian, dan moi, music box or
mbira; blown idiophones, of which there are a very small number of
examples, the Aeolsklavier being one; and friction idiophones, such as
the singing bowl, glass harmonica, glass harp, turntable, verrophone,
daxophone, styrophone, musical saw, or nail violin.
