Very ready! Today we will tackle the
Hornbostel-Sachs Classification of Musical

D. Discussion
Hornbostel-Sachs Classification of Musical
Instruments is the most widely accepted system of
musical instruments classification used today. (Taking down notes)
It identifies five classifications of
instruments namely, Aerophones, Chordophones,
Idiophones, Membranophones and the newest,
Electrophones.
They are classified based on how
instrument creates vibrations in order to produce a

Aerophones produced sound primarily by Yes Ma’am!
causing a body of air to vibrate because of the air
blown inside. Can you give an example? Flute, Saxophone
Chordophones produced sound by the
vibration of its strings which are strummed,
plucked or bowed. Can you give an example? Guitar, Violin
Idiophones produced sound by a vibration of
its body as it is being struck, scraped, rubbed,
shaken, and plucked. Can you give an example? Xylophone, Cymbals
Membranophones produced sound by
vibrating membranes through tapping of hands or
sticks. Can you give an example? Drums
Electrophones produced sound which are
generated by electricity. Can you give an example? Electric Guitar.
