Acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments which have a resonator as an integral part of the instrument, and solid-body electric chordophones. The resonators and string bearers of these instruments are physically united, and they cannot be separated without destroying the instrument.
These instruments are sound synthesizers that use mechanical, optical, or other forms of non-electric computation, sampling, processing, or the like. It has been proposed that music synthesizers that perform computation, and/or that work by recording and playback of sound samples, or the like, be referred to as quintephones.
This is a list of musical instruments, including percussion, wind, stringed, and electronic instruments. Percussion instruments (idiophones, membranophones, struck chordophones, blown percussion instruments)
It was a kind of electro-acoustic instrument, an acoustic instrument with additional electronic circuits for sound modification. The Magna Organ was an electric-fan driven free reed organ with the microphone sealed in a soundproof box, instead of the electrostatic pickups used on electrostatic reed organs.
The Hornbostel–Sachs system of musical instrument classification groups all instruments which make sound primarily by way of electrically driven oscillators. Though Sachs divided the category of electrophones into three distinct subcategories, specifying these three as : 51 = electrically actuated acoustic instruments,
The three main groups of microphones are pressure, free-field, and random-incidence, each with their own correction factors for different applications. [1] Well-known acoustic sensor suppliers include PCB Piezotronics, Brüel & Kjær, GRAS and Audio Precision. [2]
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to acoustics: . Acoustics – interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound.
