1 Knowledge of Musical Instruments

2 Knowledge of musical instruments There are an awful lot of musical instruments, in all sorts and sizes. They all produce sound. What the sound is like (the timbre of an instrument), is dependent on the shape of the instrument, the material of which it is made and, quite importantly, how the instrument is made to vibrate. Sounds are air vibrations, which can be detected by the ear. The acoustic vibration begins at the sound source (e.g. the string of a guitar) and travels through air. This vibration is received by the ear drum in the ear and subsequently interpreted by our brains as sound. Musical instruments are categorized on the basis of the way in which they are made to vibrate, in other words: the way in which the sound is produced. Musical instruments are divided into four categories: 1. Wind instruments 2. Stringed instruments 3. Percussion instruments 4. Electronic instruments A 5 th group could be created, namely keyboard instruments. These instruments have a common characteristic: the keyboard. With a keyboard instrument it is often not quite clear how the sound is produced, you hit a key and you hear a sound. Dependent on the way in which the sound is produced, keyboard instruments are subdivided into the categories mentioned above. With the piano a string is made to vibrate by a hammer with a felt head (stringed instruments). With the harpsichord a string is made to vibrate by a plectrum, which plucks the string (stringed instruments). With a pipe organ and accordion the air in a tube is made to vibrate (wind instruments). With a synthesizer and keyboard the sound is produced electronically (electronic instruments).

3 Wind instruments In wind instruments the sound is produced by blowing air in or across the instrument. There are different kinds of wind instruments: Flute Recorder French Horn Oboe Clarinet Saxophone Trumpet Trombone Tuba

4 Stringed instruments In stringed instruments the sound is produced by the vibration of a string. There are different kinds of stringed instruments: Violin Cello Harp Acoustic guitar Piano Grand piano

5 Percussion instruments Percussion instruments produce a sound by striking or rubbing the instrument to make it vibrate, such as the vibration of a tight membrane or instruments which do not have a membrane and are made to vibrate themselves. The most important group of instruments which use a membrane as a sound source are drums. Drums are played with the hands, fingers or sticks. Another group of percussion instruments are the so-called idiophones: percussion instruments which do not have a membrane and are made to vibrate themselves. There are different kinds of percussion instruments: Drum kit Bongos Djembe Xylophone Cymbals Triangle Woodblock

6 Electronic instruments Electronic instruments are called electrophones. There are various electronic instruments: Electric guitar Electric bass guitar Keyboard

7 Questions and assignments Put the name of the instrument under the right image:
