The substance of the instrument itself, owing to its solidity and elasticity, vibrates and may radiate sound without requiring stretched membranes or strings. The instrument is made to vibrate by being struck. The player executes the movement of striking; whether by mechanical intermediate devices, beaters, keyboards, or by pulling ropes, etc., is immaterial; it is definitive that the player can apply clearly defined individual strokes and that the instrument itself is equipped for this kind of percussion.
