WHAT DOES CHORDOPHONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

chordophone

Chordophone

A chordophone is European musical instrument that makes sound by way of a vibrating string or strings stretched between two points. It is one of the four main divisions of instruments in the original Hornbostel-Sachs scheme of musical instrument classification. What many would call string instruments are classified as chordophones. Violins, guitars, lyres, and harps are examples. However, the word also embraces instruments that many westerners would hesitate to call string instruments, such as the musical bow and the piano. Hornbostel-Sachs divides chordophones into two main groups: instruments without a resonator as an integral part of the instrument; and instruments with such a resonator. Most western instruments fall into the second group, but the piano and harpsichord fall into the first. Hornbostel and Sachs' criterion for determining which sub-group an instrument falls into is that if the resonator can be removed without destroying the instrument, then it is classified as 31.

Definition of chordophone in the English dictionary

The definition of chordophone in the dictionary is any musical instrument producing sounds through the vibration of strings, such as the piano, harp, violin, or guitar.
