WHAT DOES AEROPHONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Aerophone

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. It is one of the four main classes of instruments in the original Hornbostel-Sachs scheme of musical instrument classification. Hornbostel-Sachs divides aerophones by whether vibrating air is contained in the instrument itself or not. The first class includes instruments which, when played, do not contain the vibrating air. The bullroarer is one example. These are called free aerophones. This class includes free reed instruments, such as the harmonica, but also many instruments unlikely to be called wind instruments at all by most people, such as sirens and whips. The second class includes instruments which contain the vibrating air when being played. This class includes almost all instruments generally called wind instruments - including the didgeridoo, brass instruments, and woodwind instruments. Additionally, very loud sounds can be made by explosions directed into, or being detonated inside of resonant cavities.

Definition of aerophone in the English dictionary
