Definition

  • The substance of the instrument itself, owing to its solidity and elasticity, vibrates and radiates sound. Lamellae, i.e. elastic plaques, fixed at one end, are flexed and then released to return to their position of rest. The lamellae are attached to a board or cut out from a board like the teeth of a comb. (en)
