In the Hornbostel–Sachs classification, idiophones are first categorized according to the method used to play the instrument. The result is four main categories: struck idiophones (11), plucked idiophones (12), friction idiophones (13) and blown idiophones (14).
La classificazione Hornbostel-Sachs è il sistema più usato per classificare gli strumenti musicali in etnomusicologia ed organologia. Hornbostel e Sachs svilupparono le loro idee a partire da un sistema risalente al tardo XIX secolo, sviluppato da Victor-Charles Mahillon, curatore degli strumenti musicali presso il Conservatorio di Bruxelles ...
The Hornbostel–Sachs system of musical instrument classification groups all instruments in which sound is produced through vibrating air. This can include a column of air being set in vibration (as in wind instruments) or an air-flow being interrupted by an edge (as in free-reeds).
Hornbostel-Sachs has dominated organological discourse and practice since its creation, and this article analyses the scheme’s context, background, versions and impact. The position of Hornbostel-Sachs in the history and development of instrument classification is explored.
The Hornbostel–Sachs system categorizes musical instruments by how they make sound. It divides instruments into five groups: idiophones, membranophones, chordophones, aerophones, and electrophones. A number of instruments also exist outside the five main classes. Main categories. List of idiophones by Hornbostel–Sachs number.
Jan 17, 2019 · Espie Estrella. Updated on 01/17/19. The Sachs-Hornbostel system (or H-S System) is a comprehensive, global method of classifying acoustic musical instruments. It was developed in 1914 by two European musicologists, despite their own fears that such a systematic system was nearly impossible.
Revision of the Hornbostel-Sachs Classification of Musical Instruments by the MIMO Consortium. The MIMO (Musical Instrument Museums Online) project has created a single access point to digital content and information on the collections of musical instruments held in a consortium of European museums. Co-funded by the European Union through the ...
