scraper

scraper, in music, percussion instrument consisting of a serrated surface that is rasped with a stick. Known since the Stone Age, it is often associated with magical powers and ritual, and it is widely distributed geographically.

An instrument with which anything is scraped. An instrument by which the soles of shoes are cleaned from mud by drawing them across it. An instrument drawn by oxen, horses or a tractor, similar to a plow, that is used for scraping up earth in making or repairing roads, digging cellars, building canals, etc.

Scrapers are used to move or remove dirt, gravel or other material from the ground surface. Though they are specially designed for this purpose, they can also perform tasks such as: Excavation.

Using the thick end of the scraper to scrape is a better and louder sound so hold the beater by the thin end. You can tap it on the 'mouth' and you can make a wood block sound. Tap over different areas of the instrument and find different slightly different wood sounds.

The edge of the scraper that is extremely angled is the working edge. This edge is often used to soften hides or to clean meat off of the hides, in addition to being used for wood work. As the term scraper suggests, this tool was scraped at the hide or wood in order to reach the end goal.

The rubber scraper (left) can be called a spatula in both UK and US English because it is a flat utensil used for mixing and spreading. The tool on the right is also called a dough cutter. In American English, spatula refers broadly to a number of broad, flat utensils.

Web scraping is used in social media marketing to identify influential individuals or content creators relevant to a particular industry or target audience. For example, businesses can scrape data from platforms like TikTok to find popular influencers in their niche.

At least 90,000 years ago, humans probably employed the tools to fashion clothes from animal skins. Excavations in a Moroccan cave have uncovered ancient evidence of animal skinning and leather or pelt preparation using tools such as this hide scraper (shown at different angles) made from an animal's rib.
