An Aerophone does so primarily by causing a body of air to vibrate, without the use of strings or membranes, and without the vibration of the instrument itself adding considerably to the sound.

Sting instruments. Unless you're talking about a piano type instrument with vibrating strings.


What type of instrument is a Clavenet?

The Clavenet is a keyboard instrument which is an electro mechanical instrument. This means that it requires amplification to produce sound at an acceptable level.


How do valves and slides affect the pitch on brass instruments?

Brass instruments produce sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument alter the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. The farther the air has to travel in the instrument the lower the pitch of the sound is, whereas the less distance the air has to travel the higher the pitch the instrument will produce.


What musical instrument can belong to two different instrument families?

The piano can belong to two different instrument families, this is due to the way the sound is produced. It can be considered a percussion instrument because it uses a mallet to hit a string to produce the sound. On the other hand, it can be considered a string instrument because a vibrating string is what actually produces the sound.


What instrument is most similar to piano?

The Organ and the keyboard, but other than that there are also other instruments that are Chordophones that belong to the percussion family. like the Hammered dulcimer, Cimbalom, Onavillu, Berimbau, Jhallari, Celesta.

What are kinds of instrument?

There are several families of instrument: Chordophones, where the sound is generated by a vibrating string eg. a violin, piano or guitar. Membranophones, where the sound is generated by a vibrating skin eg. a drum. Aerophones, where an oscillating air column is used to produce a tone eg. a Flute or organ. Idiophones, where the actual body of the instrument provides the tone eg. a xylophone or castanets. Electrophones, where electric circuits male or amplify a tone eg. an electronic keyboard or theremin.

What part of the sitar vibrate to produce sound?

The main vibrating part of a sitar is the strings. When plucked or strummed, the strings produce sound that resonates throughout the instrument and is amplified by the gourd resonator.


Why does the recorder Make a lower pitch when holes are covered?

The recorder produces a lower pitch when holes are covered because covering holes shortens the effective length of the vibrating air column inside the instrument. When holes are covered, the air column becomes shorter, resulting in lower frequencies and, consequently, lower pitches. This principle is based on the relationship between the length of the air column and the pitch produced, as longer columns produce lower sounds and shorter columns produce higher sounds.
