Learner’s Tasks

Lesson Overview

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.

Curt Sachs (1881–1959) was a German musicologist known for his


extensive study and expertise on the history of musical instruments. Sachs
worked alongside Erich Moritz von Hornbostel (1877–1935), an Austrian
musicologist and expert on the history of non-European music. Their
collaboration led to a conceptual framework based on how musical
instruments produce sound: the location of the created vibration.

1
Sound Classification

Musical instruments can be classified by the Western orchestral system


into brass, percussion, strings, and woodwinds; but the S-H system allows non-
western instruments to be classified as well. Over 100 years after its
development, the H-S system is still in use in most museums and in large
inventory projects. The method's limitations were recognized by Sachs and
Hornbostel: there are many instruments that have multiple vibration sources at
different times during a performance, making them difficult to classify.

The H-S system divides all musical instruments into five categories:
idiophones, membranophones, chordophones, aerophones, and
electrophones.

Idiophones

Idiophones are musical instruments in which a vibrating solid material is


used to produce sound. Examples of solid materials used in such instruments
are stone, wood, and metal. Idiophones are differentiated according to the
method used to make it vibrate.

o Concussion—A pair of similar instruments are struck together or


struck against each other to create sounds, such as cymbals and
castanets
o Friction—Instruments that produce sound when rubbed. An example
of these is musical glasses in which the musician rubs his moistened
fingers on the rim of the glasses to produce sound.
o Percussion—Musical instruments that produce sound by striking or
using a striker, such as xylophones, triangles, bells, gongs, and steel
drums
o Plucked—Also known as lingua phones, these are musical
instruments that need to be plucked to create sound, such as the
Jew's harp in which the player plucks the "tongue" of the instrument.
o Scraped—Instruments that are scraped to produce sound. Examples
of these are cog rattles and washboards.
o Shaken—Musical instruments that need to be shaken to create
sound, such as maracas , thought to have been invented by native
Indians of Puerto Rico.
o Stamping—Instruments that produce sound when stamped on a
hard surface, such as the shoes used by tap dancers or Irish clogs.
o Stamped—When sound is produced by the material itself that's
being stamped on.

Membranophones

Membranophones are musical instruments that use vibrating stretched


membranes or skin to produce sound. Membranophones are classified
according to the shape of the instrument.

o Kettle Drums—Also known as vessel drums, these are rounded


at the bottom and may be tunable or non-tunable. The vibrating
membrane is laced, nailed, or glued to the body and the player uses
his hands, a beater, or both to strike it.
o Tubular Drums—are further classified into shapes including
barrel, cylindrical, conical, double conical, goblet, hourglass and
shallow. Tubular drums may either be tunable and non-tunable. Like
the kettle drums, tubular drums may be played by using both the
hands or a striker and the vibrating membrane is laced, nailed, or
glued to the body.
o Friction Drums—Instead of striking, the stretched membrane vibrates
when there is friction across the membrane. These are non-tunable
and the player uses a cord or stick to create sound.
o Mirlitons—Unlike other musical instruments belonging to
the membranophones, mirlitons are not drums. The membranes
produce sound with the vibration of a player's voice or instrument.
Mirlitons are non- tunable, and a good example of this type is a
kazoo.
o Other membranophones are called frame drums in which the
skin or membrane is stretched over a frame such as tambourines.
Also, pot drums and ground drums fall under the membranophone
category.

Chordophones

Chordophones produce sound by means of a stretched vibrating string.


When a string vibrates, the resonator picks up that vibration and amplifies it
giving it a more appealing sound. There are five basic types based on the
strings' relationship with the resonator.

o Musical bows—May or may not have resonators; the strings are


attached and stretched over a wooden bow.
o Harps—The strings aren't parallel to the soundboard; harps are
plucked or strummed.
o Lyres—The strings run through a crossbar holding it away from
the resonator. Lyres may either be bowed or plucked.
o Lutes—These instruments have necks; the strings are stretched
across a resonator and travel up the neck. Lutes may be bowed or
plucked.

3
o Zithers—These have a board but no necks; strings are stretched from
one end of the board to another end. Zithers may be plucked or
struck.

Chordophones also have subcategories depending on how the strings


are played. Examples of chordophones played by bowing are double bass,
violin, and viola. Examples of chordophones that are played by plucking are
banjo, guitar, harp, mandolin, and ukulele. The piano, dulcimer, and the
clavichord are examples of chordophones that are struck.

Aerophones

Aerophones produce sound by vibrating a column of air. These are


commonly known as wind instruments and there are four basic types.

o Brasswinds—Made of metal, particularly brass, these instruments


create sound through the vibration of a player's lips on the
mouthpiece. The air that passes through the player's lips goes to the
air column of the instrument and thus creates sound. Examples:
trombone, trumpet, tuba
o Woodwinds—These instruments were originally made only of wood
but now other materials are used. On reed instruments like the
saxophone and the clarinet, a thin material is placed on the
mouthpiece so that when the player blows into it the air is forced to
go to a reed and sets it to vibrate. In double-reed instruments such
as bassoons and oboes, the material placed on the opening of
the mouthpiece is thicker. In woodwinds such as flutes, the player
blows air into the edge of a mouthpiece thus creating sound.
o Free-reed—Refers to wind instruments that have a freely vibrating
reed and the pitch depends on the size of the reed. A good
example of this type of instrument is the accordion.
o Free—Free aerophones are those in which the sound is produced by
a column of air outside of the instrument itself, such as a bull-roarer
or a whip when it's cracked.

Electrophones

Electrophones are musical instruments that produce sound electronically


or produce its initial sound traditionally and then are electronically amplified.
Some examples of instruments that produce sound electronically are
electronic organs, theremins, and synthesizers. Traditional instruments which are
electronically amplified include electric guitars and electric pianos.

THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS OF MINDANAO CHORDOPHONES
(STRINGED INSTRUMENTS)

Kudyapi - is a guitar with two strings. It is about


1 1/2 m long and made of wood. It has a stick to
support in its lower end and is played in the same
position as cello. It is common among Tirurays of
Cotabato.

Karaga - is a guitar made up of bamboo


where the strings are slit from the bamboo itself. The
bamboo is split and tied back in both ends, leaving
a slit as a resonator. The guitar has strings all around
it. This is popular in Eastern Mindanao.

AEROPHONES (WIND INSTRUMENTS)

Sahunay - is a bamboo flute, leaving six holes


for the fingers and trumpet made of coconut leaf.
It is about 50 cm long and 3 cm in diameter. This is
a bamboo flute of the Tausugs in Sulu.

IDIOPHONES (PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS)

Kulintang - is a set of eight knobbed gongs in


graduated sizes from largest to smallest mounted in
a wooden frame, about a meter long. Muslim
carvings decorated the frame. The kulintang is
played by striking the gongs with two pieces of
wood, about 12 inches long while the player squats
on the floor. The instrument is popular in Sulu.

Gabbang - is similar to a xylophone. It is made


of a wooden box with one end wider than the
other, and with an open top. Across the top,
wooden bars of different lengths are placed to fit
the shape of the box, about 1 cm from each other.
It is played by striking the wooden bars with a
wooden hammer. This instrument is popular in Sulu.

5
Bunkaka or Bilbil - is a bamboo musical
instrument used by the Tinguians. It is a two-
pronged bamboo struck against the palm of one
hand.

Agung - hangs from horizontal pole or


wooden frame. The player stands beside the rim of
the gong where he inserts his left arm through
the ropes which suspend the instrument to position
his hand comfortably at the knob. On the right
hand, the player holds a mallet padded with
rubber.

Gandingan - is a set of four graduated gongs,


with thin rims and lower central knobs. They hang in
pairs with the knobs of the lower pitched gongs
facing each other. The same with the two higher
pitched gongs. The pair of lower pitched gongs is
positioned on the player's left side while the pair of
the higher pitched gongs is on the right. The player is usually a woman who
stands between the two pairs of gongs. Her body touches slightly the gong in
the middle to prevent from swinging. She uses two padded mallets (one mallet
for each air) to strike the gong's knobs.

Babendil - is small gong with thin rims and low


central knobs. It is struck with thin bamboo sticks to
produce a metallic sound.

Membranophones (Drum Instruments)

Dabakan - is a goblet -shaped drum, which


has a single head covered with goat, lizard or snake
skin. It is struck with two thin bamboo sticks about 18
inches in length.
