struck idiophone

According to Sachs, "Struck Idiophones consist of one or several pieces made of a sonorous substance and struck with a stick or a similar device with rotary motion of the arm. Again, they are distinguished by their materials."

Directly struck idiophones produce sound resulting from a direct action of the performer as opposed to the indirectly struck idiophones. The player strikes the instrument with a direct action, either by hand or by mechanical intermediate devices, beaters, keyboards, or by pulling ropes, etc. It is definitive that the player can apply clearly defined individual strokes and that the instrument itself is equipped for this kind of percussion. There are two main categories of directly struck idiophones, concussion idiophones (111.1) and percussion idiophones (111.2).

Two or more complementary sonorous parts are struck against each other. According to Sachs, idiophones struck together: According to Sachs, struck idiophones: consist of one or several pieces made of a sonorous substance and struck with a stick or a similar device with rotary motion of the arm. Again, they are distinguished by materials. 111.11 Concussion sticks or stick clappers (nearly equal thickness and width). • Clapsticks • Claves 111.12 Concussion plaques or plaque clappers (flat). • Clapper • Guban • Paiban • Pak • Slapstick 111.13 Concussion troughs or trough clappers (shallow). • Devil chase 111.14 Concussion vessels or vessel clappers (deep). • Spoons 111.141 Castanets - Natural and hollowed-out vessel clappers. • Castanets • Krap 111.142 Cymbals - Vessel clappers with manufactured rim. • Chap • Ching • Clash Cymbals

Indirectly struck idiophones produce sound resulting from an indirect action of the performer as opposed to the directly struck idiophones. The player himself does not go through the movement of striking; percussion results indirectly through some other movement by the player. This category is divided in two main sub-categories: shaken idiophones and scraped idiophones.

The player makes a shaking motion 112.11 Suspension rattles - Perforated idiophones are mounted together, and shaken to strike against each other. 112.111 Strung rattles - Rattling objects are strung in rows on a cord. 112.112 Stick rattles - Rattling objects are strung on a bar or ring. 112.12 Frame rattles - Rattling objects are attached to a carrier against which they strike. 112.121 Pendant rattles. 112.122 Sliding rattles. 112.13 Vessel rattles - Rattling objects enclosed in a vessel strike against each other or against the walls of the vessel, or usually against both.

• Illustration — Fiberglass güiro The player causes a scraping movement directly or indirectly; a non-sonorous object moves along the notched surface of a sonorous object, to be alternately lifted off the teeth and flicked against them; or an elastic sonorous object moves along the surface of a notched non-sonorous object to cause a series of impacts. This group must not be confused with that of friction idiophones. 112.21 Scraped sticks. 112.211 Scraped sticks without resonator. • Jawbone (instrument) 112.212 Scraped sticks with resonator. 112.22 Scraped tubes. • Kagul 112.23 Scraped vessels. • Guayo • Güira • Güiro • Reco-reco 112.24 Scraped wheels - cog rattles or Ratchet • Derkach 112.3 Split idiophones - Instruments in the shape of two springy arms connected at one end and touching at the other: the arms are forced apart by a little stick, to jingle or vibrate on recoil.
