About this document
Hornbostel-Sachs Instrument Classification by Vincent Berame is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Sachs-Hornbostel system is a comprehensive method for classifying musical instruments developed in 1914. It divides instruments into five main categories based on how sound is produced: idiophones (solid material), membranophones (stretched membranes), chordophones (strings), aerophones (air columns), and electrophones (electronically). Over 100 years later, the system is still widely used for classifying instruments in museums and other collections.
