Definition

  • Instruments in the form of sets of sticks, owing to the solidity and elasticity of their substance, vibrate and may radiate sound when struck either with non-sonorous objects (hand, stick, striker) or against non-sonorous objects (human body, the ground). Several percussion sticks of different pitches are combined to form a single instrument. The player creates clearly defined individual strokes. All xylophones. (en)
