friction idiophone

Friction idiophones is designation 13 in the Hornbostel-Sachs system of musical instrument classification. These idiophones produce sound by being rubbed either against each other or by means of a non-sounding object.

Idiophones are instruments that create sound through vibrating themselves. They differ from chordophones and membranophones because the vibrating is not the result of strings or membranes.

A formal sub-classification of idiophones that are comprised of two objects that are rubbed together to create friction that produces sound. These instruments have discernible pitch and are often solo instruments. Friction Idiophone instruments include: musical glasses, glass armonica, musical saw.

Among the many everyday examples of friction sounds, violin music and brake noise in automobiles represent the two extremes in terms of the sounds they produce and the mechanisms by which they are generated. Of the multiple examples of friction sounds in nature, insect sounds are prominent.

friction drum, musical instrument made of a membrane stretched across the mouth of a vessel and set in vibration by rubbing with wet or resined fingers a stick or string passed through the membrane or tied upright from underneath; in some types the membrane is rubbed with another piece of skin.

Percussion Idiophones: Sound is produced by striking the vibrating object with a mallet, hammer, stick or other non-vibrating object. Examples are Wood Block, Bell, Gong, etc. Plucked Idiophone: Sound is produced by plucking a flexible tongue. Examples are Jew's Harp, Thumb Piano, Music Box, etc.

any musical instrument in which sound is produced mainly by the vibration (=continuous quick movement) of the instrument: The triangle is an idiophone. Percussion is a category of musical instruments, essentially idiophones and membranophones, which are played by being struck or shaken.

idiophone, class of musical instruments in which a resonant solid material - such as wood, metal, or stone - vibrates to produce the initial sound. The eight basic types are concussion, friction, percussion, plucked, scraped, shaken, stamped, and stamping.

tribometer A tribometer is an instrument that measures tribological quantities, such as coefficient of friction, friction force, and wear volume, between two surfaces in contact.

and bass Friction is regarded as one of the biggest DJs in the drum and bass scene, with an extremely fast rise to success. Highly regarded for his various mix CDs and releases on labels like Hospital, Tru Playaz and Renegade Hardware.
