Definition

  • The substance of the instrument itself, owing to its solidity and elasticity, vibrates and radiates sound when struck. Percussion results indirectly through a shaking movement executed by the player. Non-sonorous objects slide to and fro in the slots of the sonorous object so that the latter is made to vibrate; or sonorous objects slide to and fro in the slots of a non-sonorous object, to be set in vibration by the impacts. The intention is to yield clusters of sounds or noises, and not to let individual strokes be perceived. Anklung, sistrum with rods. (en)
