aerophone

Examples include the trumpet, cornet, horn, trombone and the tuba.

The electrophone where the sound is produced by electronic ways. The aerophones where the sound is produced from the vibrating of air. Aerophones are known as wind instruments.

In general, the term aerophones is used to classify the musical instruments that produce sound by the vibration of air that is contained within the instrument.

The Aerophone is based on the fingering system found on a traditional acoustic sax. This means you can play the sounds of different saxophones – including soprano, alto, tenor and baritone – along with other wind instruments such as clarinet, flute and trumpet.

You may be thrilled, shocked even, to discover that the human voice is an instrument of wind. Technically the voice is classed as an aerophone in the Hornbostel-Sachs system and keeps company with the mighty bagpipes and the humble recorder.

The piano and harpsichord are chordophones, and the organ is an aerophone that uses air columns flowing through pipes to create sounds, but all three are traditionally operated by a single musician at a keyboard, so they are typically considered part of the keyboard family.

An aerophone is a musical instrument, such as a trumpet or a flute, in which sound is generated by a vibrating column of air.

There are six types of aerophones. The first two, whistles and blowholes, are similar. For whistles, air is blown directly on the sharp edge of the instrument, as in a recorder. For blowholes, air is blown across a sharp edge of the instrument.

The more traditional members, however, can be roughly grouped as idiophones (xylophone, marimba, chimes, cymbals, gongs, etc.), membranophones (drums), aerophones (whistles, sirens), and chordophones (piano, harpsichord).

The trombone is a musical instrument in the brass family. Like all brass instruments, it is a lip-reed aerophone, meaning that sound is produced when the player's buzzing lips (embouchure) cause the air column inside the instrument to vibrate.

An aerophone is any musical instrument that produces sound primarily by causing a body of air to vibrate without the use of strings or membranes and without the vibration of the instrument itself adding considerably to the sound.
