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 of steel and are cut out in the form of a comb. Pins on a cylinder, or projections on a disc, pluck the lamellae. (Musical boxes). (en)
